Kristi's Wedding

My friend Kristi was married last year with a small ceremony in Leavenworth, WA and I had the opportunity to make her wedding cake. The cake was 2 tiers of marble cake w/ chocolate bavarian cream filling. The cake was lightly iced in buttercream and covered in white chocolate ganache and then adorned with "wood panels" of white chocolate. The wedding location finished the cake with fresh and silk flowers. When the cake was cut everyone got a piece of the "fence" as the kids were calling it.

This was made as a special gift for Karens birthday, it was white cake (her favorite) with a lemon filling. The cake was iced in whipped cream and topped with gumpaste flowers.

My first attempt at making bacon from a sugar product. This was ordered for a friends husband who LOVES bacon. His favorite was Fletchers brand peppered bacon so I took a picture of it and printed it on edible paper and backed it with chocolate. The cake itself was dark chocolate with peanut butter cheesecake mousse. The other bacon on the cake was made of fondant.

More updates of cakes past

The three above cakes were made for my moms co-worker Justin. The basketball cake she ordered for his birthday, he played for a semi pro team in Seattle and he was #22. The cake is only 5" and the basketball on top is also cake. Bottom cake was iced in whipped cream and the BB was covered in fondant.

The strawberry cake was just for fun with an extra cake I had, it was white cake w/ strawberry mousse and white chocolate panels. Topped with fresh strawberries and chocolate drizzle.

The grass cake was another extra cake. chocolate cake w/ cherry filling iced in buttercream and topped with the grass tip and fondant flowers.

Both of these cakes were ordered for a co-workers daughters high school graduation. The small cake is vegan...it was my first. It was iced in a non diary buttercream. The larger cake was not vegan...chocolate cake w/ chocolate ganache and iced in buttercream. The Mercer Island HS logo was done in chocolate and the girls names in fondant. I learned with these cakes that red darkens and it sits. My burgandy turned a bit brown, thank goodness for understanding friends.

This was made for a co-workers 50th birthday, his wife called and ordered it as a suprise. The "Miss Budweiser" plaque was originally a pin that I recreated in chocolate. Cake was chocolate with chocolate ganache...yum!

Chocolate cake w/chocolate mousse and iced in buttercrea,. The crowd, Hannah Montana and the band are edible images. The "stage" is chocolate. This was a difficult cake as it was a hot summer and sugar and chocolate like to melt in that kind of heat. The birthday girl loved it.

Dylans 3rd Bday

My friend Sarah and I make cakes for her boy's birthdays every year. We make them together, usually her idea and my knowledge. This year since Dylan was turning 3 we decided to do a cake in the shape of the number 3. This was carved from a 1/4 sheet cake, vanilla cake w/ chocolate bavarian cream filling. The cake has been iced in buttercream and topped with fondant shapes and pictures of Dylan from the past 3 years of life, some of the pictures include a monster truck show, the day he was stung by a bee and seafair.

Cupcakes and Truffles

I had the great opportunity to make cupcakes and truffles for a friends birthday/housewarming party. Her daughter-in-law called and ordered them as a suprise. The cupcakes were Triple Chocolate w/ English Toffee Mousse and Vanilla Bean w/ Tangerine Mousse. The truffles were all dark chocolate (Raspberry, Mint and Hazelnut). The colors were ordered to match her house. I love the BRIGHT colors, super fun.
