Money Birthday Cake

Raven — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 20:16:40 +0000

This was a fun cake order that got me experimenting and trying lots of new things. The customer wanted a money-themed cake for her husband’s birthday and wanted it to serve 25. She also gave me a picture of a cake for inspiration. The cake is a tasty buttermilk devil’s food cake filled with cream cheese frosting and covered in homemade marshmallow fondant. The coins are gumpaste dusted with sparkly gold luster dust for a little shine. The $100 bills are fun edible images that I had printed.

This cake turned out to be a bit trickier than I anticipated, but I definitely learned lots of good lessons for next time. Happy Birthday!

Train Cake for a Birthday Boy

Raven — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 20:08:42 +0000

Here’s a cake I whipped up for my cute nephew. The only instructions were that it have blue on it, some kind of train, and be chocolate cake. The cake is a yummy buttermilk devil’s food cake, filled with fluffy chocolate frosting, and iced in vanilla buttercream.

I went with a cookie/candy train--just because I was afraid there might not be enough sugar content in the cake and frosting

And, yes, my hands were tired after piping all that grass.

So, happy birthday, my friend! Hope you liked it!

Flowers for a Friend Birthday Cakes

Raven — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 05:02:21 +0000

Last week I had the pleasure of making some mini cakes for a friend from college for her birthday. She wanted 4 cakes with blue flowers on them. The cookies are white with an almond buttercream filling and a vanilla buttercream frosting. I will admit that when I made the 100 miniature royal icing flowers, I was sure they would completely cover the cakes. So, I didn’t pay much attention to my frosting color. As it turns out, I could have used about 75 more. Now I know! Sorry, dear friend, that the icing wasn’t a more pleasing color. All in all, I thought they turned out pretty sweet.

Four tiny cakes, each about 2.5 inches across.

The royal icing flowers.

A Bumblebee Transformer Cake

Raven — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:45:58 +0000

This weekend, I got to make a fun Bumblebee Transformer cake for my cute 4 year-old neighbor. I was more than a little intimidated by the prospect of sculpting Bumblebee out of gumpaste, but I think he turned out all right. And, yes, I chose to go with the retro/cartoon version. There’s no way I’d be able to sculpt the Bumblebee from the new movies! The cake itself was a full-size two layer snickerdoodle cake with lots of delicious cinnamon buttercream between layers and around the cake. It was covered with homemade marshmallow fondant. Yum!

So, happy birthday, my friend! I hope it was grand!

A “Prep and Landing” Birthday Cake

Raven — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 22:52:48 +0000

This year for his 4th birthday, my cute nephew wanted a Prep and Landing (the Disney short that came out this past December) party. What a fun theme! This is a delicious chocolate bundt cake with a batter full of chocolate chips. I also spread a thick layer of homemade peppermint buttercream frosting (complete with crushed peppermint candies!) in between the two layers of cake. I then frosted the cake with a divine chocolate buttercream and added fondant stripes and a mini candy cane border.

Unfortunately, my sculpting skills were depleted by the fact that both my little ones have had a stomach bug the past couple of days. Luckily, I don’t think this 4 year-old will mind the paper elves stuffed into peppermint candies

Happy Birthday!

A Mini Birthday Cake for a Basketball Fan

Raven — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 22:46:11 +0000

This fun little cake was made for a basketball fan on his 35th birthday. Layers of devil’s food cookies sandwiched with delicious peppermint buttercream. The jersey was another cookie that I trimmed and then decorated with buttercream.

I took this pictures with a salad fork in them to help remind people how small these cakes really are.

So fun!

Peppermint Holiday Cakes

Raven — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 20:51:50 +0000

These cute cakes were decorated to look like peppermint swirl candies. I even filled and frosted the mini cakes with peppermint buttercream! Layering this yummy buttercream with triple chocolate cookies made for one tasty combination. Think peppermint patties. The sparkly sprinkles topping each cake added some extra cheer. Happy holidays!

Thank You Cakes

Raven — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 20:47:11 +0000

As a thank you for some friends of mine, I made a set of mini cakes. As part of the set, I included this personalized fondant covered cake made of triple chocolate cookies and vanilla buttercream. The cheery polka dots and simple design made for one adorable tiny cake!

Dino Birthday Cake

Raven — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 16:53:41 +0000

I made this tiny cake for a friend of mine who just turned 2. The dinosaur is a miniature fondant sculpture (only about an inch big) resting on crumbled cookie “rocks”. The cake itself is made of triple chocolate cookies with a creamy chocolate buttercream filling and frosting.

Holiday Gingerbread Houses

Raven — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:46:45 +0000

Growing up, one of my favorite holiday traditions was baking, assembling, and decorating gingerbread houses for the holidays. The smell of baking gingerbread and the bowls of tasty candies just waiting to be added to the house with royal icing–what’s not to love? A gingerbread house makes the perfect centerpiece and, at least in our house, always brings a smile to your face. Combining sweet treat with darling decor, a gingerbread house is sure to be a favorite.

I am very excited to be offering gingerbread houses this holiday season. Each house is made completely from scratch and since all the decorations are done by hand, each house is unique. For an extra bit of personalization, a holiday greeting or your family’s name can be piped above the front door of the house for no extra charge. The houses measure about 5.5 inches wide by 5.5 inches long and come complete with a chimney, windows with shutters, a door opening into the house, and piped roof shingles.

The icing on the cake, or on the gingerbread house in this case, is the stained glass look of each window. By melting candies, I create colorful windows that glow when you turn on the lights inside the house. The lights are included with each house and are accessible through the front door of the house.

Although I love the simplicity of this particular house, the houses I will be offering this year will be decorated with a wide variety of sweet treats.

“I just received one of your gingerbread houses — we LOVE it! Not only does it look delicious, but the quality is so professional and the decor so adorable that we are using it as a centerpiece on our Christmas table. My kids especially love to turn on the lights inside the house each night when we turn on the lights on the Christmas tree.” -Marcie

Because of the time time required to bake, assemble, and decorate each house, the price for one house is $35. If you do not want the lights on the inside of the house, the price is $30.

These houses will last from Thanksgiving to Christmas as charming decorations. The gingerbread will harden over time, so if you’d like to eat the house, I would recommend ordering it for a date within a couple of days of when you’d like to eat it. If a homemade gingerbread house would add that special touch to your holiday decorations this year, just submit an order form and let me know when you’d like your sweet treat!
