Cake Tastings...









This was my first "Open House" to share my cakes and chocoaltes with friends and family. I had the open house in my home. I featured 3 types of cakes for display, a wedding cake, a birthday cake and a baby shower cake. I had 4 flavors of cake and filling combinations (Vanilla Bean w/ Hazelnut Mousse, Chocolate Cake w/ Peanut Butter Mousse, Red Velvet Cake w/ Vanilla Bean Mousse and White Cake w/Lemon filling), there were buttercream and whipped cream frosting to try as well. I also had a mini version of a chocolate bar/display with chocolate dipped strawberries, caramel covered choc dipped pretzels, truffles in a variety of flavors, fruit and nut bark and chocolate cups with peanut butter cheese cake mousse and raspberry mousse. The open house was a huge hit. (April 2008)

I did a cake tasting at a local networking/meet and greet party last fall. I made truffles in fall flavors (caramel apple, pumpkin pie, cranberry, hazelnut), fruit and nut bark, vanilla bean cupcakes w/ hazelnut mousse and dark chocolate cupcakes with Baileys ganache. I also showed a sample of holiday chocolate items for order.
