Muscle Cake!

First of all, I have to thank my friend Kathy for sharing my blog with others! You're the best!

My friend's colleague needed a custom cake for her husband's 30th birthday. My first official (have done others as wedding gifts) cake order. She contacted me and sent me her ideas along with a photograph of her husband's tattoo that was to be included on the cake! So here it is, vanilla cake with buttercream icing and fondant, entirely edible, even right down to the ink!

I hope the cake was a hit at the party!

Speed can be delicious...

...in the shape of an F1 race car that is!
I made this for my colleague's retirement party.  He is a huge fan of F1 racing so we decided to inject a bit of F1 flavour to the party by making a big signing poster with checkered flag as well as a fast car cake.  It's a simple vanilla cake with buttercream icing.  He loved it!  It could have been much nicer but this is what you get when I make it in the morning before work.  I still think it looks pretty cool.

See Spots, Like Spots, Eat Spots

 A happy wedding cake for one of my favourite couples!
(hopefully I will get better photographs soon....more to come with commentary)

Stained glass sugar cookies with royal icing.  Red velvet, vanilla and chocolate and buttercream icing...why limit your choice of cake to one flavour when you can get 3, right?

Butter Brickle Pecan Cake...mmmmmmmm!!

My first ever attempt at a wedding cake...and it was a hit!  The bottom cake was the butter brickle pecan, and the icing in between the layers was a roasted pecan cream cheese affair!  Oh man this cake was good!  The top layer was made of rice crispy square used to stabilize the water holders to keep the roses fresh.  I hear the rice crispy squares were just as much of a hit than the cake!  Congratulations Alexandra and Lance!
