50 And Fabulous!

Being a woman of a certain age, I can relate to turning the Big Five Oh.  This is Vanilla Cake with Raspberry Cream Filling was made for one of my "Sista Warriors"!

Anywho, they say 50 is the new 30.  Let's hope "they" know this to be true :)

Communion Cake with Little Girl Figurine

This customer wanted something different for a 1st Holy Communion Cake.  Janice, the recipient, is a very special girl filled with loads of spunk! She wanted purple and I told her I would make a "Janice" cake topper.
The cake also had to be chocolate

so I pulled out my favorite chocolate cake recipe and went to work.

Her reaction to seeing the cake for the first time was priceless! Reminds me why I choose to make my living as a cake decorator.

Anywho, Little Janice has made her 1st Communion!  Watch out world!  Her she comes  :)

Hand Painted Flowers Cake

Here is another example of a hand painted cake I made. For this cake, I also added a rolled fondant flower to the top.  I like the effect.

Anywho,  this cake was yummy and I enjoyed creating it :)

Hand Painted Cake

I love making cakes covered in fondant.  It provides a wonderful canvas for the most beautiful cakes.

One does not need to be an artist to hand paint a cake!  It takes a little patience, focus and vodka.  Not kidding!  Vodka makes my color gels dance and is the best item to use for getting the perfect consistency.

Anywho, don't worry about tying one on with a slice of a hand painted cake!  It dissipates and is flavorless.
                             
  You MAY want to put some in a glass with
  some cranberry juice if you need to
  "loosen up"  :)
