Cake....and more cake....

First the Carrot Cake, approx 5 inches high, two layer..each filled with Orange Cream Cheese Icing, with a layer of icing between cake layers. Hopefully was decadent...for a boring carrot cake.




Next, the Golf Cake. Chocolate cake,with a tasty Peanut Butter Fluff filling. Think, giant reese's cup. I had so much fun with my new grass making tip, that it was hard to stop adding grass to the cake. Probably the funnest cake I made all weekend.



The Wedding Cake...three tiers of yummy (I hope). Bottom was choc. with choc. ganache filling. Middle was White with Raspberry filling. Top was Lemon with Lemon Creme filling. Iced and covered in fondant. Satin sheen ribbon and silk flowers. Add glittery blue seaspray...and wha-la...wedding cake.



I also did a baby shower cake this weekend, but don't have pics of it yet. Hopefully I will get those soon. What a weekend. 4 more cakes this week. More to look at and drool or critique. Bye for now.

And right there for a minute, I was busy

So, I haven't posted cake pics in a while, though last month was a doozey. Did 25 orders all together last month. A crazed amount. This month has been slow and mild in comparison, but the cakes I do have coming up are pretty awesome. I did get an impromptu order a couple days ago, from a lady in Colorado. Apparently, my little cake business is listed on a website called "The Gathering". I had no idea, until I asked her where she got my info from...so I checked it out, and it can be googled...I feel strangely out in the open now....

Anyway, she asked for a cake with a farm scene on it for her daughter's birthday. They own a farm in Colorado. So the animals were specific to the farm, and the colorings of the real animals. Everything else was up to me.  She paid me $50  to do the cake, though I quoted her a price of $32. I am pretty darn happy with the outcome:



So, up next lots of tiered cakes. A wedding on the 20th, a baby shower on the 21st, an anniversary cake on the 24th, and a princess cake for twins on the 27th. All tiered cakes. I do have one Halloween order, a sheet cake with a cake eyeball on top and edible spiders. Then there's the alligator shaped, banana flavored cake at the end of the month...spooky, huh?
