Hi!
Anyone ever made a coffee flavored filling for a cake?? The customers want a chocolate cake w/coffee-flavored filling....and I don't know that I've ever seen that kind of filling flavor!

Oh my goodness - I"m in the same boat! Except it's our worship pastor's bday, etc. We have a fairly large church, so I plan on making them a big cake in general. But now I have to figure out what t ...

How many people will be at each table?? If there's only 8, an 8" cake will be a lot of cake. I'd do 6". I only mention that becuz I just had someone talk to me about that sort of thing. Even with ...

Having done this before (years ago, but still!) - I did over 100 of them. I used poured fondant, etc. Problem is - I DID NOT charge enuf!!! I think AT LEAST $10 each, if not a little more. What th ...

I do sheet cakes ALL THE TIME. Around here, it's just easier and what shall I say - more accepted?? I look at them as a blank canvas, the bigger the area, the more I have to work with. Occasionally ...

I have to submit ...

Hang in there, dear! I've had those nights, too. If anything, it teaches us time management for the next time!
Can't wait to see the pics!

Ok all you great, CCer's! I need to enlist your help with picking out a cake pic to possible submit for an upcoming Birthday Cake challenge. I am also debating making a cake just for the occassion a ...

I'd ask the person before you posted their pic. Make sure you give credit where credit is due, and you should be fine!
You have permission on mine! Smile

Here's another little tip I got from my "aunt-in-law" - before you flip out the 2nd cake onto the cake board - sprinkle it with granulated sugar (not a ton, just enuf to give a light coating) and then ...
