p.s. I will have three test cakes to offer by Wednesday or Thursday.
This was my daughter's 5th Birthday Cake. She wanted chocolate cake with chocolate filling. I layered a 9" round with a bowl cake and shaped it to look like a strawberry laying down. The strawberry candies on the sides are strawberry coconut candies, a recipe my aunt had passed to me.
My first German Chocolate cake from scratch.
Denise took this Prelines and Cream Carrot Cake to her Thanksgiving dinner. I was told family members literally came to take the leftovers with barely a hello. She'll have to keep the next one a secret.
My dad also requested German Chocolate for his birthday. It is covered in chocolate buttercream. I was very sad that I had piped the letters ahead of time in semi-sweet chocolate so that they could cool, harden and stand up, only to have them fall out of the fridge as the door opened. Do over.
My very first Fondant Cake, for Denise's birthday. I invited her over to my house this time so she could keep the cake all to herself. Raves all around though.
This cake was a ton of fun! I saw a picture on coolest-birthday-cakes.com. I think I got the call on Wednesday or Thursday to have it Saturday at noon. I searched high and low for a Thomas candle, but ended calling the mom back to ask for a figurine. There are no Thomas candles in the stores anymore. She was very impressed. I came super close to the original picture: http://www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com/coolest-thomas-the-train-cake-103.html
Karolina did not want "a bunch of frosting" so I suggested fruit fillings, maybe a torte. Above is a Vanilla Chiffon cake with Raspberry and Strawberry fillings, perfectly complimented with a Lemon Mousse. Three-fourths of it was gone between 4 or 5 of us before I left the party. She said it was finished off before bed.
For my MyOmahaMommies group, I wanted to make something special for Valentine's Day. I made a chocolate cupcake with strawberry frosting and a chocolate truffle nestled on top. Heaven in your mouth truffles. I could easily take up truffle making along-side my cakes.
My mom loves lemon cake. Here we have one with Lemon pudding filling and topping and lemon buttercream. Lemon Layered Supreme
Lots to bake this week. I shall return.
