Things I've learned while working in the bakery......

Liz and I were chatting this weekend and were
trying to think of clever and funny things we
could write about on the blog, but both of us
were drawing a blank.

After several "entertaining" things happened
on Saturday while working, we keep
saying that we should add that to the list
of things we've learned while working in the bakery.

So here we go......

1. When you are working with chocolate frosting, and
there is a hole in your bag (even if you tape the hole closed),
if the frosting gets cold, and you squeeze the bag,
it will shoot out the side under the tape and all over the
baking rack.

2. When you are coloring fondant, you should always
wear plastic gloves because the coloring can stain your hands.
Especially if your hands are dry from the cold and hot water
from washing dishes all the time. (See picture below as evidence).

To the moon......

This is a cake we did this weekend for a
little boy's birthday. They asked for a rocket ship cake.



The rocket ship and the moon are marble cake
and the cupcakes are vanilla. Vanilla buttercream
frosting on all and the moon is also covered in fondant.

Hope you have a Happy Birthday Hunter!

Christening Cake

This is a cake we did this weekend for a good friend
for her granddaughter's christening.



It is a chocolate cake with pink tinted buttercream
frosting. The writing and decor is chocolate buttercream
frosting and the cross is made from fondant.

Covered Wagon Cake

This is a cake we did today. The customer contacted us
about doing a 96th birthday cake for her Dad. He had
traveled from Texas to Kentucky in a covered wagon.

The cake is a 1/4 sheet cake. It's coconut with
coconut flavored buttercream frosting.

Here's the covered wagon for the cake.
It's made of rice krispy treats and was then
covered in fondant.

(The wagon looks huge, but it's really only about
4 inches long and 4 inches tall)

The wagon will be added to the cake the day of
the party.

Hope they enjoy it - Happy Birthday!

I Wanna Rock!

Here's the big, big cake we've been working on
since Saturday.

The birthday girl requested a green guitar and some hot pink frosting.
Her mom said to make it wild and that it needed to feed at
least 50 people - maybe more.
So we put on our thinking caps and this is what we
came up with.

The base cake was about 12x28.
Yes, that's right, nearly 2 1/2 feet of cake!
Then we carved the guitar out of another
half sheet cake.

All cake is chocolate and vanilla marbled. The base
cake is covered in pink tinted vanilla buttercream.
The guitar is iced in vanilla buttercream and then
covered in marshmallow fondant.



Everything about the cake is edible except for
a few support pieces.

Last report we had after delivery was "It's awesome!"

Hope Kylie enjoys her birthday guitar cake!

Let's Play Ball!

We did this cake on Saturday for a 9th birthday party.
Mom contacted us with an "inspiration" cake picture
and we went from there.

Vanilla cake with buttercream frosting and
the balls were made from fondant.



The matching cupcakes were chocolate cake
with buttercream frosting and fondant ball accents.

Hope you had a great birthday Shelby!

Casper the Cake...A donation story....

I hope I caught your attention with my title.
Here's a little story about a cake.....

I was contacted earlier in the week asking
if my sister and I would be interested in donating
a baked good to our local elementary school for
their Fall Carnival. Since we both have kids at
Greenbrier Elementary, of course I said we'd be
happy to donate a cake for the "cake walk".

Not only was it for a good cause, it would also help
us get our name out there as someone to go to for
cakes as well as cupcakes.

As I was thinking about what to make, for some
reason this little ghost cake keep coming into my head.
Since it's so close to Halloween and all, I thought
this would be great for the cake walk.

Now, we could have done easy and simple,
but nooooooo, the one I had in mind was more complicated.

He's four layers tall, he's covered in homemade marshmallow
fondant, he's cute and edible. What more could you ask for?

So without further delay - I present "Casper"

He stands about 9-10 inches tall and I guess
he weighs about 8-10 lbs.

After I delivered him this morning I was told
that he probably wouldn't make it to the cake walk
after all, but would become part of the auction!
We were thrilled with that news!

So if you have a chance tonight, head over to
Greenbrier Elementary School for their
Fall Carnival. It's from 5-8pm.

Maybe you can take "Casper" home!
