Today was a bad day. With High School Boys, everyday is a bad day. The ones I work with are rude and immature. ::le sigh:: venting complete.
Now onto the CAKE!
I love to make try to make cakes. Fancy ones. You know, the ones that Ace of Cakes whip out with their magical fingers.
I'm all googahly eyed with these cakes, nay, masterpieces.
So far, in the past 5 years, I made some pretty decent cakes. For a girl with no training, I think I did ok. (Excuse me while I toot my own horn.)
My cake Resume:
Can't read my Poker Cake. ::Lady Ga-Ga style::
Poker Cake- Chocolate cake with Nutella and graham cracker filling (Made especially for my Kuya's 30th)
Get it? Sebby? Sebastian? Think Little Mermaid.
Crab Cake- White cake (The cake Sebby tore into)
I made him another, for the adults to tear into.
Under the Sea Cake- Pineapple Cake with macadamian nuts and cool whip
I did all the creatures by hand. ::toot toot:
MAC/ISH Cake- Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Butter cream Frosting. (Made especially for Irish's 25th) *My First Fondant Cake*
Ipod Cake- Strawberry Cake with Strawberries inside and a Vanilla Butter cream Frosting (made especially for Jo's 23rd Birthday)
I need to work on my cake handwriting!
XBOX 360 Cake- White cake with Bavarian cream and fresh strawberry filling. (Made especially for Freddy's 30th bday)
So why am I tooting my horn? over and over and over? Well, this weekend, I made more cakes! I miss making them!
It was another birthday cake for Sebby! Chocolate cake!
Project Wifey Wife Auntie Aunt: Chocolate Birthday Cake:
(Adapted from FamilyFunGo.com)
I used half white, half whole wheat flour. Mostly because I ran out. Stupid Bunelos!
And added a lot of chocolate chips!!
Do your cakes ever come out uneven? Might I recommend some cake pan huggers?
My nephew loves Muno from Yo Gabba Gabba! So I made his face :)
When I first saw Muno I thought, "Hmmm, that's uhhhh odd??"
But no worries, he's a sea cucumber. ::cue the Oh's::
In between the layers, I just melted some chocolate chips and added a teaspoon of frosting. Wah-lah! Instant filling!
Sebby loved it!
Since I had to make fondant for Muno's eye balls, I used my tools to make 3 mini cakes for friends. They celebrated birthdays this month too!
Baby cakes!
The birthday girls loved it!
If anyone is interested in making fondant, let me know and I'll make a tutorial!
Do you watch any cake shows? Which ones?
Great job Joanna! So talented!
