Harvest Pumpkin
My take on a Harvest Pumpkin Cake with yummy mandarin orange spice cake inside. Mmmmm...... Fall
Kennedys Black Magic
Gorgeous Kennedy wanted a black, blue and silver wedding..... Yes, it turned out AMAZING. I was thinking 'Uhm, a bruise' but it worked, she had design elements at her reception that I had never seen, it was so fun. This cake has a long story behind it but long story short, I was up all night finishing this cake, I delivered and did my build on site at 5am. What's with the black boxes in this pic.... Yeah, I cant get rid of them right now but I'll have my son fix it .
Simple Caramel Apples
Fall = Caramel Apples Regular ol' caramel apples but I used twigs for sticks for a witchy, Halloween twist.
Fairy Cake
Adorable Fairy Cake for sweet Pey.... I know I say this all the time but this one too was soooo fun to create. Lets face it, Fairy's are pretty much everything.
Witches Cauldron Cake
Worms, spiders and eyeballs Oh My! I absolutely LOVED creating this HALLOWEEN Witches Cauldron Cake. What's Halloween without green gooey Witches brew complete with spooky fog....
Not-So-Scary Frankenstein Cake
I cant even express how much fun I had building this cake! I have video of the marshmallow/spider web application but cant decide if I want to post it.... Embarrassment..... off the charts. I airbrushed the bottom layer in purple then went back and used a little blue disco dust, the result was amazing but its not showing up in pics. Darnit.
Little Livies Halloween Birthday
This is by far one of my faves. Livies face was priceless when she laid eyes on her birthday cake.
Daisy Power
Is there anything better than a sweet Gerbera Daisy paired with a cutest of the cute ladybug? I think not.
Meringue Bites
Meringue Bites 4 egg whites at room temp 1/2 cup granulated sugar (give or take according to your taste) 1/2 tsp lemon juice or cream of tartar 1/4 tsp vanilla or flavoring of choice Set oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit Add egg whites to bowl (I use my KitchenAid) and whip with wire whisk attachment, beat on high until fluffy bubbles form. Slow speed and add lemon juice, beat for around 20 seconds more. Slow speed and slowly add sugar, once incorporated turn mixer back to high and let whip until stiff peaks form (peaks stand on their own and mixture is bright white and shiny) Line cooking sheets with parchment. Place meringue into a piping bag (with the tip of your choice) and pipe meringue bites onto parchment. Place tray into oven, cook for 20 minutes. Lower heat to 150, after 2 hours turn heat off but DO NOT remove trays from oven, allow them to remain in oven until completely cooled. (This is a great recipe to use in the evening and allow...
Homemade Sour Cream
I was mixing up a cake when I realized I didn't have sour cream so I quickly jumped online to see if I could possibly mix some up (really not having a clue what 'sour cream' really is). So, yes, it can be made but it has to sit for 24 hours. While I still had to make a run to the store but thought I'd post this recipe for later use. TOTALLY Homemade Sour Cream 1/4 C (59ml) milk 3/4 tsp white vinegar 1 C whipping cream Combine milk and vinegar in small bowl, cover and let rest in fridge for 10 minutes. Add heavy whipping cream to small mason jar, add milk & vinegar mixture. Cover jar and allow to sit at room temperature for 24 hours. After 24 hours store sour cream in the fridge for up to 1week. It wont be quite as thick as store bought sour cream but other than that, its spot on and totally homemade. Woot!
