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!

Saturday's Pics

We've got a couple of new flavors today, so I thought I'd post some pics and introduce them.

Don't the cupcakes look pretty all lined up?

Tropical

This is a coconut cake topped with a pineapple/orange
cream cheese frosting, toasted coconut and a
festive umbrella

M & M

This is a vanilla cake with mini M&M candies
mixed in. It's topped with vanilla buttercream
frosting and more mini M&M candies

Chocolate OD

Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream
frosting, dipped in chocolate and topped
with sprinkles

Coconut Joy

Let me tell you a little about our Coconut Joy cupcake.
It's a coconut cake topped with coconut buttercream
frosting, then dipped in dark chocolate and topped
with an almond.

I've been surprised at how many people that say they
don't like coconut. (I thought I was the only one!)
I've always liked the flavor of coconut, but not the texture.
I've never been able to get past that - until this cupcake.
We chop the coconut up into very small pieces, so the
texture is really not an issue anymore.

Of all the cupcakes we make - this is in my Top 5 -
(remember I don't like coconut usually)
it's that good - you should give it a try!
If you like Almond Joy or Mounds candy bars,
you'll really like this cupcake.

Big Orange Sherbet

Vanilla cake topped with orange sherbet flavored
buttercream frosting, orange sugar sprinkles, and
an orange flavored jelly pumpkin

Hope we'll be "seeing" you tomorrow!

Saturday's Flavors

Here's the menu for Saturday:

Chocolate OD
Mocha
Coconut Joy
Vanilla
Orange Sherbet

See you tomorrow!

Picture Time

I thought I better post some pictures of what else we've been doing besides cupcakes lately. This are just a few samples - sometimes we forget to take pictures until it's too late - oops!

Here's a picture of the full case since I haven't been posting those lately. All during the month of October/November you'll find some of the cupcakes dressed up with Halloween/Fall/Thanksgiving sprinkles and toppings.

This next set of pictures is a birthday cake. It's a 6-inch chocolate layer cake with vanilla buttercream frosting and is decorated with fondant circles. The first picture is most accurate in terms of color - my camera was acting a little crazy during picture time.

This next set of pictures was for a bridal shower. Each set of cupcakes had pink on them. This would also be a cute idea for a Breast Cancer Awareness Event.

Chocolate OD with pink sprinkles

Vanilla cake with pink tinted buttercream and chocolate sprinkles

Strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream and pink sprinkles

Pink Edition Hostess cupcakes
On these we tinted the filling pink and the squiggle on top pink.
Aren't they cute??
