Lot’s of Fun with Cakes

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

Definitely trying to get in a couple blog posts this week, so up next are some fun specialty cakes that we recently had a chance to make!  My favorite for sure is the Gucci Purse cake that Kyong and I worked on…we had a great time making it and I’m happy to say the client was thrilled!

We actually had to hand paint all of the Gucci symbols onto the cake.  It definitely was a tedious project, but I think well worth it.

We also get make make lots of kid’s cakes and the “Jungle Theme” is quite a popular one!  First up custom cupcakes that Kyong did an amazing job at!

How adorable are those!  Kyong also incorporated these cute little animals onto a recent cake we made.  The cake was covered in chocolate ganache instead of fondant and then accented with fondant pieces.

We also got to do a fun groom’s cake for a great couple.  The groom loved poker so we did a stack of poker chips, while incorporating their wedding colors into the design.

Another groom’s cake that we just made incorporated all of the groom’s loves onto one cake.  It was a surprise too and I just wish I could’ve been there to see his reaction!

Purse Cakes Plus “Baked” Cookbook Giveaway!!!

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Thanks to everyone for your sweet comments about my niece’s birthday cake!  I had a great time doing it and it is so nice to receive such lovely compliments from all of you.  As a fun reward for being such a great blogging community I am going to do another giveaway (the real thanks goes to the “Baked” marketing team for giving me the books…THANKS!!!)  So make sure and check out the end of the post to get all of the details!

Before I share my mouth-watering photos of their salted caramel sauce I made I first wanted to show you the cute purse cakes that my students made last week. These cakes were filled, frosted, sculpted, and decorated in about 3 hours, so props to them.  Also, this was the first time most of them had attempted a carved cake, so I was doubly impressed! Hope you enjoy the photos!

Now onto the giveaway!  I have to say that I am absolutely smitten by the Baked cookbook!  The whole book is filled with gorgeous photos and mouthwatering recipes!  It has been by my bedside for the past month getting looked at over and over again.  I recently had the chance to try out their salted caramel sauce and I have to say that it is my new favorite flavor…this sauce will knock your socks off!  Here are the tempting photos I promised!  I will post the yummy recipe on Monday when I announce the winners!  

I forgot to mention that I am giving away TWO Baked cookbooks so get excited because your chance of winning just went up!  All you need to do to enter the contest is name the type of purse that you think I should make for my new purse cake that I am making next week!  Remember the deadline is Sunday night…can’t wait to hear all of your ideas!
