iPod Cake

I did this for a friend so I got lazy and didn't put headphones on it. The color is much better in person. It was a silver/black color with a sheen on it.

For Heather: The only thing I made from scratch was the ganache (so easy) The chocolate mousse I get from the cake store. I comes in a frozen liquid form and all you have to do is defrost it and whip it to the consistency that you like. Then I flavor it with my oils (I like the chocolate hazelnut) The ganache is just 2 parts chocolate to 1 part heavy cream. Or if you want a thinner consistency you can do 1 part chocolate to 1 part heavy cream. All you do is cut up the chocolate and put it in a bowl. Then you heat up the cream in a saucepan until is simmers. Then pour the cream over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted. From there you can either use it to pour over a cake or chill it, then whip it a little to use for a filling. If you would like to use it as a frosting you would whip it a lot more. The cake mix I bought, I always use Betty Crocker. I also bought the chocolate fondant at the cake store. It was the satin ice brand in dark chocolate. I hope that helps.

I don't often get to do cakes that I actually want to make. I've had my eye on this design f0r a while and was just waiting for the right oppurtunity to make it. Well, I got my chance with the swanky dinner party that my friend throws every year. I love the way the colors blended. The cake was chocolate fudge w/ 2 layers of chocolate mousse and a middle layer of ganache. I whipped the ganache to make a frosting and then layered it with dark chocolate fondant. I like this cake, it tasted good too! I'll have to post a better picture later.

Mosiac Wedding Cake

Here is the wedding I did in August. I was happy with the way the mosiac & gumpaste letters turned out. But I felt really rushed on the shape and smoothness of the frosting. Oh Well! It was hard to walk away from this cake without trying to do more to it because it felt so plain but it was what the client wanted so....here it is.

BudKitty

I did this for Dave's Boss who just had a baby boy. It is the logo for the company. They named him McGuire. This one was a really fun cake to do.

"EASY" mini roses

Here is the video that I was telling you about Heather. I obtained some kinda bad shots of the cupcakes that I did Saturday. I will try to get better ones from the photographer.

Etsy

We are one step closer to our etsy store, thanks to our friend Katie who took these FABULOUS pictures. We just need to get an actual kit together to photograph.
