Cur chow!!!!!! It's lightning McQueen

By    11:08 AM // No comments


I got a special order for a little boys birthday. They wanted a  cake in the shape of Lightning McQueen. The cake is a chocolate cake with chocolate fudge butter cream frosting, with a side of raspberry filling because I couldn't put it in the cake without making a huge mess. The cake is then covered and decorated with fondant.. The whole thing is cake. I was really excited with the end result. Now I need someone to request Mater. I think it would be a fun challenge. Even my two year old daughter who is obsessed with princesses new who it was. That was the best compliment of the day.

Fish it's whats for Dinner!

This is probably one of the oddest orders I have ever gotten. The husband like pineapple upside down cake and fishing. Well, you can't really frost an upside down cake that ruins the flavor so I decided that I would make a giant fish and make it look like it had just been caught and is now being served for dinner. It turned out so much better than I thought. First, I made my fish a little to big but ended up working out perfectly, second while it sat in the fridge overnight the fish kind of slimed onto the cake which made it even more perfect because fish are kinda slimey. The person loved it and her husband was really surprised when he opened the fridge to find a giant fish laying on top of the cake. The fish is made out of rice krispie treat.




The Beach

This cake was alot of fun. I had someone call asking for a Hawaiian themed birthday cake for there son. They gave me permission to do my own thing. So I started to think what do boys like about Hawaii? Girls it's easy, the flowers. After a couple of days I got a duh moment, surfing. The cake is one layer lime cake and one layer raspberry cake with a buttercream frosting. That was the only request that it be an odd flavor of cake. I have named this cake raspberry limeade. It was really good.  Once again everything is edible on the cake except for the leaves to the palm trees because my own weren't working for me so I had to go with plan B.  The trunks of the trees are chocolate covered raisins, surf boards are painted air heads, sand is brown sugar, water is piping gel.



Chocolate Dream

 I got the best present for my birthday. My mom got me a mini cake cricut machine! I love it and couldn't wait for my birthday to try it out. This is some practice with it. It can do really intricate designs so much faster than me doing them by hand. It's going to take some practice to get the hang of it but it was so much fun to use it.
 I am going to dub the flavor of this cake as Chocolate Dream. There's a Bakery in Eugene Oregon that my family discovered that has some pretty amazing cake flavors. This cake has a different name there but I believe it need a more appropriate name for a Mormon Community. This cake is a chocolate cake with a hint of orange flavor to it. The fillings are chocolate mousse and vanilla custard, Then the sides are covered in a chocolate ganache and the top is finished off with an orange butter cream frosting. This cake was Heavenly. I am not a big fan of orange and chocolate together but this is so subtle that it has become one of my favorite cakes ever. I have not mastered there flavor but I'm close and the more practice the better it's going to get.

 This horse is crafted out of gum paste. So is the fence. In fact, everything on this cake is edible. The horse is probably the most difficult thing I have ever made. It was an adventure but it was worth it. This cake is a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and chocolate fudge frosting.
