More Practice

I went back to Mom’s this Friday and we decided to practice again.  After our last “practice” that ended up in disaster…this as MUCH better!  We had a lot of fun with this one and Mom did all of the kneading of fondant since my fingers and hands were sore from kneading fondant all week [...]

Another Birthday

Today is Blake’s little brother’s birthday. When I asked Joshua what kind of cake he wanted he said white cake with chocolate icing. Since I wasn’t completely pleased with the last chocolate buttercream that I experimented with, I decided to try a different recipe. This recipe tastes amazing, but is not worth [...]

New Job!

Some of you already know, but I thought I would post it here also. I’ve recently accepted a new job at a bakery in Fort Worth. I am so excited! I will be working 4 days a week doing the “detail work” like roses, bows, etc. I will be working with [...]

Happy Birthday Dami

My nephew’s 6th birthday was last weekend so Mom and I went down to see him and all 4 of his siblings this weekend. When we asked him what kind of cake he wanted, he automatically responded that he wanted a skateboard cake just like his brother Dylan’s except that he wanted yellow cake [...]

Pooh Bear!

Mom and I were asked to do a Winnie The Pooh baby shower cake. We were really excited about this one because we’d never done a baby shower cake before. After narrowing the choices down, the customer decided on a very pretty “classic pooh” cake. We wanted to try out our new [...]

Practice, Practice, Practice…

Two weeks ago Mom and I decided that we needed to practice some of the more difficult and new types of cakes whenever we didn’t have one to make for customers.  I went over there on Friday night and we decided to do a stacked giftbox cake.  When we picked out this cake I thought [...]

Scones!

A couple of weeks ago I decided I would try to make Cranberry Orange Scones.  I usually get these at Starbucks but I thought that maybe this would save me some money if I was able to make them myself.  They turned out VERY good and almost as good as the Starbucks version.  Although there [...]

Pineapple Upside Down

Pineapple Upside Down Cake is one of Blake’s favorite cakes. One weekend back in March I decided out of boredom to try to make a version of this cake that did not come out of a box. It was very easy, however I might try to find a different recipe because the cake [...]

Wow…I’ve been slacking…

It’s been a while since I’ve updated this and so much has been going on…
I’ll start with something that I forgot to put in my blog in March.  I participated in a gift exchange as part of the What’s Cooking message board on The Nest.  When I got my package I was thrilled!  I got [...]
