Tried a new coconut cake recipe tonight cant wait to try it on my family....getting ready to make some milk chocolate ganache to fill it. As soon as I can pull myself away from CC!!!
I got nothing going on - just BORED out of my mind!! would be a good night to practice some things, but I'm just hanging out instead...
I'm working on a two tier Batman cake for my son's 4th birthday party! Cakes are baked...just working on icing...and getting down to decorating!
We had a bonfire to attend tonight so I had to get all my stuff done beforehand...have three cakes in the fridge, two for pickup and one for delivery. Just finished making some stars on wires to put on the one for delivery...will add the topper and stars in site (hope I get to set it up, hate when the kitchen takes it!).
Made a two tiered autumn cake...a two tiered baby shower cake...and a two tiered motorcycle cake...hard to describe that one.
I'm working on a 3 tier 50th anniversary cake for delivery tomorrow afternoon. I have already finished and delivered 6 dozens cookies and a baby shower sheet cake.
But MOB (mother of the bride) fatigue hit today with a vengence and I am having a really hard time focusing and staying on my feet to get everything accomplished! If the 3 tier anniversary cake had not been for the grandparents of my 'hope-to-be daughter-in-law one of these days' -- I never would have taken the order. Of course - I never would have dreamed they would want something that could be considered a wedding cake anyway!!
So I will be here for a while . . . . I will check back in. If anyone has any extra energy they can send my way I would appreciate it!!

Heh!
I have a cupcake wedding tomorrow. Just waiting for the last to bake, will ice and trim in the morning (BCs all made - hope there's enough!).
Still need to finish flowers on the 6" cutting cake.

It was kinda planned. Daughter and her husband left for a 10th anniversary cruise yesterday. We were scheduled to keep the 2 grandkids, so I kept this weekend open. Then his parents decided it would be a good time for them to spend time with the kids so they drove in from New Jersey to spend a few days with their grandkids! What a great time they are going to have, since they don't get to see their grandkids but about twice a year!
So that leaves me with a free weekend. I'm heading over there tomorrow to make sure everything is ok .... plus I just LOVE spending time with my daughter's mother-in-law. She's the only person I know who can talk more than ME!
Finished for the night, made desserts for a bridal shower tomorrow. brownie petite fours, cake balls , bourbon cayenne truffles, marshmallow pops, and chocolate cups to be filled with cheese cake tomorrow. Goodnight!
Made a new recipe today, white cake with lime, lime curd, and whipped cream frosting. Also has blueberries between the three layers and on top. Can't wait for my company to arrive tomorrow to cut it!
Making brownies, too.
No caking tonight...watched the Wedding Cake Wars show that I missed when it was on a couple weeks ago.
Delivered a 10" Tiffany Gift Box cake this afternoon. I am icing a sheet cake then decorating as a Driver's License for a boy turning 16 tomorrow. My hubby's birthday is Sunday so I am taking the remainder of the weekend off!
Could someone please help me? 
I am doing a small two tier cake (8 &6 ") iced in buttercream. I've only done fondant covered stacked cakes before. Do i just stack the top tier on the bottom one with just the cake board under it? Will it get yucky sitting directly on the BC? I've got some dowels in the bottom layer already.
Thanks, any advice helps!
blah...nothing going on this week. I have an order of 36 mini cupcakes for Sunday so no rush tonight. I did just sign my first wedding cake contract today, so that was kind of exciting
chelseak, I'm not an expert by any means. But the two bc tiered cakes that I have done were both just the cake boards. I know that a lot of people on CC use the sps system, but I'm still using the traditional cake boards.
Good luck!
Evening, folks.
I usually do my lurking on Sat. morning because I can't keep my eyes open this late, but I have been baking my buns off tonight so I thought I would join in.
Only had one decorated cake for a friend's baby's baptism, but I have been baking items for a bake sale tomorrow. 3-layer Blackberry Jam Cake with caramel icing, Stack pies with caramel icing (LOVE that caramel icing!) , apple cake, pecan pie and brown sugar chess pie. Didn't get started until about 8 after I delivered the baptism cake, so I've still got some work to do.
I might learn to like this night life.
Hey, I just realized it's after midnight. It's my birthday.
