Just for fun...

I was trying a new lemon cake recipie the other day and I was feeling a bit..."inventive" that day so this is what I came up with. It is a lemon cake with a blueberry filling (hence the fondant lemon and blueberries on top). I iced it by taking a 1M tip and just doing a shell border all the way around. I thought it was kind of cute and super fast and easy. I'll post the "Sour Lemon" cake recipie once I perfect the recipie.

Jasmine Cake

Here is the cake that we did for my neice. It turned out so cute. The only thing was that I put it on the wrong way (it had been speared with a paintbrush and we had to repair it). That should have been on the back. It was still cute. I like to make charachter cakes that represent the character rather than stick a toy on top. I think we did a good job of capturing the essence of Princess Jasmine.

rainbow trout cake

This is the most amaizing cake that we've made. totally loved it, we did a great job, heather is awesome ( even though she didnt want me to do the scales on the fish, but of course i didnt listen to her), we actually made two cakes that day and it was fun making them.

leduc cake

Here is the cake I did for Lauren LeDuc's reception. I like the way it turned out, the only thing is now that I see the picture the center cake looks a little off-center. I didn't notice it at the wedding, it's killing me. Oh well, it was a cute cake. I was REALLY worried about how all the colors would look on the cake with the flowers and the ribbon. But if you could have seen the reception hall it totally went with their theme.

Thanks for the unbelievable shots Melissa, you are awesome! I wish so badly that you guys were here. I've got people calling me for cakes and I'm not able to take all of them. It would be so fun to work with you guys. I miss you so, so, so, so, so much!

Edna's MM Fondant Recipe

She uses lemon juice and corn syrup

Ingredients:
15 oz. mini marshmallows
2 Tblsp water
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
2 tsp light corn syrup (helps w/ pliability)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp lemon extract 2
lbs (approx 7 C) confectioner's sugar, sifted
1/2 C Crisco or vegetable shortening

Directions:
Grease microwave proof bowl w/ Crisco. Also grease wooden or heat proof spoon. Pour marshmallows and water into bowl. Microwave for approximately 2 minutes stopping and stirring at 40 second intervals. Mixture should be soupy. Take out of microwave and immediately add corn syrup, lemon juice, salt and extracts. Stir well. Sift confectioner's sugar into mixture, one cup at a time. After approximately 5 cups, grease your hands well with Crisco and knead the mixture in the bowl. Add the sixth cup and continue to knead. Now grease your work surface well and turn mixture out of bowl onto counter. Sift remaining sugar, regrease hands, and knead well. If mixture seems soft, add one additional cup of powdered sugar. Shape into a mound and put a coating of crisco on outside. Double wrap in cling wrap and insert into ziplock bag. Press air out of bag and seal. Allow to rest overnight, but, can be used after sitting for a few hours.
