We are settled here in Utah now. Not sure what we are doing about the business at this point but I’ll keep you posted. It’s similar to living in Colorado to this point. We are a little lower in elevation but still have to make the adjustments so things don’t bake out of the ovenContinue reading “Fourth of July”

Commissioning
The commissioning ceremonies at USAFA took place on May 28. For those of you who are not military, this is when the seniors (or firsties) are commissioned from cadets into the air force becoming 2nd lieutenants. It’s a big deal. I was asked by two different cadet squadrons to make goodies for their ceremonies. FirstContinue reading “Commissioning”
Lily Wedding
My nephew got married over Mother’s Day weekend. I was asked to make the cake. I was so excited to be part of their special day! My new niece was very specific about flavors. She wanted the base to be chocolate mint with chocolate mint filling, the middle layer to be strawberry with strawberry filling,Continue reading “Lily Wedding”
Purple Star
My middle child turn 9 today. She ordered up a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. The icing needed to be purple. Oh and she wanted it to be a star. So I made her a simple star cake. I piped stars around the sides of the cake and tinted a little purple icing a littleContinue reading “Purple Star”
Baking
Here’s what’s been going on at Stahrs Cakes. December: There were lots of goodies made. Peppermint bark, peanut butter fudge, cornflake wreaths, lots of cookies. I attempted a cookie I saw on Pinterest. Chocolate Melted Snowman. I used my own triple chocolate cookie recipe and white royal icing for the snowman but I used the sameContinue reading “Baking”
Can I get a beat?
My 8 year daughter’s drum teacher had a birthday (in October, *gasp*) and his wife wanted a drum set for his cake. My daughter was so excited because she had to tell me about each drum and what it does and where it’s placed. To say she was a tough critic is putting it lightly. Continue reading “Can I get a beat?”
Hot Air Balloon
My middle child turned 7 yesterday. She wanted a balloon cake. After discussing it in detail, she decided that she really wanted a hot air balloon that stood up. So that’s what I attempted. I started with rice krispie candy molded in a pail and a Pyrex bowl to make the balloon part of the cake. AfterContinue reading “Hot Air Balloon”
Zoo Cake
My son turned 4 on Saturday. He ordered up a “Giraffe Cake”. I asked if it would be ok to make giraffes to put on the cake instead of a big cake that looked like a giraffe and he said, “Yes, and monkeys, and hippos, and tortoises ’cause those are my favorites.” So I wentContinue reading “Zoo Cake”
Cake Pops!
I am so excited to announce that we are offering Cake Pops! I mean, really, what’s not to love about these treats? Cake, icing, all mushed together, and on a convenient stick! Bakerella really knew what she was doing when she thought to make them into cute shapes. So I attempted to make the cupcake cakeContinue reading “Cake Pops!”
Power Tools
A customer called at the beginning of February to find out if I do power tools for cakes. I answered honestly with a nervous laugh by saying, “No one has asked me to do a power tool before”. She laughed too and said that is the response she has been getting from everyone she’s called. IContinue reading “Power Tools”
