Chocolate Lovers Wedding cake

Here's my very first wedding cake. I've often said that I wouldn't do a wedding cake but this bride was AMAZING to work with. If all brides were like her, and if most weddings were to serve 50 or so people, I'd FOR SURE do more wedding cakes.

 

 

A little chocolate anyone?

Chocolate cake, chocolate buttercream, chocolate, chocolate chocolate. For a chocolate lover of course!!!!

This one was made for a small lunchtime baby shower. Easy to bring and share with friends. No fork needed!!!

Something so simple but oh so good!

So, for those who read this, and don't know me, or my husband, my husband LOVES chocolate chip cookies. Honestly, my quest since we've been married has been to make him the ultimate cookie. The one that he talks about. Lucky for me I found a recipe a few weeks ago that he LOVED. It then gave me an idea. Maybe other people LOVE cookies. Maybe they aren't cake people? Why not make GIANT decorated cookies??? So, last night I tried my first GIANT cookie. While I don't have pictures, because I was doing it more to test, it's the one cookie that my husband is talking about. I'm not sure he'll ever want another cake again.

30th Birthday Cake

It was my husbands birthday this weekend and I wanted to do a cake for him. He LOVES chocolate chip cookies, and white cake with chocolate frosting. So I did just that, with a top layer of chocolate cake and vanilla frosting. I don't often get to eat my cakes so it was a treat to have some, and it was GOOD!

 

Balloons!

I'm so SUPER pleased with this cake. I did do something I said I would never do, but at the end of the day, it doesn't even bother me! A lady wanted a gender neutral cake for her granddaughters first birthday. Apparently she loves balls and balloons so she wanted that theme somehow carried through. I figured since the 1 year old would be eating some of this cake that I wanted to keep it simple using only buttercream. I also wanted to have some balloons "popping out" of the cake and didn't want to waste fondant for that. (I just wasn't charging enough to make them out of fondant) So...that's when I tapped back into my scrapbooking self, and called upon my lovely friend, Mr. Cricut. I asked him for some balloons and sure enough, he cut them out for me. I think it turned out really fun, and I'm very excited for the client to see it! I also added 3 more balloons on the top tier with the Happy Birthday greeting.

Thanks for looking!

Eiffel Tower

It really urks me when the picture in my head doesn't turn out in "cake"... Of course, I'm still learning and with every cake I learn something new. Which is why I still really enjoy doing cakes. At the end of the day, this cake is "cute" but it's my first cake for my new coworkers and can't help but feel it's a little below average. The cake is for a "man shower" we were having for a coworker who's getting married next month. He and his future wife are going to France for their honeymoon. I also made a few mini cupcakes and decorated with red, white and blue icing and mini flags of France... no pics of those.

At the end of the day the cake will taste ok... and that's all that really matters!
