Christmas Candies

Its a little past Christmas I know!
But I thought i would still put our latest project on here. Over the Holidays I got my hands into making some old fashioned candies for friends and family as gifts.
I started with making some tasty peanut brittle. After making the peanut brittle I then made a holiday favorite, peppermint bark with both white and dark chocolate. Lastly I made some milk and dark peanut butter cups and homemade kitkats.
While making all of these tasty treasures. I was also in the process of making candied oranges and lemons which took the whole month of December to make. At the end of the month the oranges and lemons were drained for a few days and then dipped in either dark chocolate or sugar. While these were all fun to make it was more enjoyable to give them away in the end and see everyone enjoy the candy.

All of the recipes and pictures for the candies will be soon to follow!

Sid the Science kid

This was such a fun cake to do. I also got to learn how to mold a 3D object which i had never done before.

The first thing I did was of course bake off my cake. I used a 10" square cake pan and made a yellow cake. Once my cake came out I let it cool, then I froze it. While the cake was freezing I went to work making a chocolate buttercream so that I could fill the cake and mask it. after I filled and masked the cake I then froze the cake again.

Making of Sid-
About a week ago I made homemade fondant. Which I used to make sid and cover the cake. The first thing I did was look up a picture Sid. Once I found the picture i liked i printed it and went from there.
