New Flavors

So, I'm trying to expand beyond the traditional vanilla, chocolate, or red velvet cake flavors!  This past weekend, I made 3 new flavors!

Raspberry lemonade: it's a lemonade cake (made from scratch) with a fresh raspberry pure'e frosting.

White chocoalte raspberry: vanilla cake with raspberry pure'e filling with a white chocolate buttercream, drizzled with raspberry pure'e.

"Butterbeer": Inspired by Harry Potter.  I cannot take credit for this recipe...but it's delicious!  It's a butter cake made with Cream Soda with a butterscotch ganache, topped with butterscotch buttercream, drizzled with more ganache! 

All 3 flavors were made into cupcakes, but could be adapted for full cakes.  Not sure how well it would turn out with cake balls, but could probably tweak it!!!

Love is in the air!

Now is the time to shower your loved ones with gifts!!!  What a better way than delicious confections!  I can do chocolate dipped strawberries, in addition to my famous cake balls!  Now, here's the fun part  - in the spirit, I am going to share the "love" as well!  I am offering the Valentiene's special occasion cake balls at a discount!  The cake balls are only $12.00 per dozen! The dipped strawberries are only $14.00 per dozen!  SO get your orders in NOW!  Love is in the air!

Welcome Home Elder Wilburn!

So, I've done a farewell cake, this is a Homecoming cake - even bigger!  Hey, he deserves it!  He served in the Colombia Bogota Norte Mission.  The picture given to me to model this cake after had only two sides showing...so I had to improvise the the other 2 sides. It also had roses...which I changed.  I did a little research on Bogota Colombia and found what the National Flag looked like, as well as what the National flower - which is Orchids.  Well...enough said....take a look!

P.S. I did not make the orchids....they are silk...
