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”

Super Mario Bros
Does anyone out there remember when the Nintendo came out? I mean the real Nintendo. Not anything with an EX or any other letter behind it. It was light and dark grey and you actually had to put cartridges into the machine to play? Remember Duck Hunt? And Super Mario Bros? Wow I was good atContinue reading “Super Mario Bros”
Twelve
A customer emailed me to make a cake for her son. He turns 12 tomorrow! A Christmas baby! He happens to love strawberry cake. Since he’s a boy, she wanted it to look like a boy’s cake. So we went with vanilla butter cream icing. He also happens to have a black belt in Shotokan (aContinue reading “Twelve”

Cadillac Lovers

Fondant
This week I learned to cover a cake base with fondant. I chose to tint the fondant green and use the Star Power imprint mat to make it fancier. I like the way it turned out. Plus it would be a great way to present a cake! On top of the base are the flowersContinue reading “Fondant”
Roses and Bows
I wanted to see what the Wilton rose would look like with buttercream icing. Since it is a softer icing and the flower is a heavy flower, I wasn’t sure it would work. Being pleasantly surprised, it did turn out. So I decided to decorate a lemon cake with white buttercream icing and yellow roses.Continue reading “Roses and Bows”

Need a sugar rush? How about trying some swirly cupcakes? Check out the height on these… I made some cupcakes for campers at my daughters’ taekwondo camp last week.
