I'm at work right now but as soon as I get home I'll post a photo of my hubby's birthday cake!

Ok, home at last. So I made my hubby a honey-vanilla cake filled with vanilla buttercream and reeses peanut butter cups. Then I covered it in ganache and finished it with whipped ganache and more Reeses. It thought it was a bit dense but everyone raved over it.[postimage id="5759" thumb="900"]
Wow that looks wonderful and sounds delicious. I am making a small three tier cake for my niece. I will post a picture tomorrow. I am going to put it together when I to my sisters.
Looking forward to see what every one else is doing.
Have a great weekend.
chocolate and ganache must be in the air! I am making a cake for my MIL's birthday. Not a very spectacular kind - we have had some tough times here with my husband's health, and I had to put many cake-making and elaborate designs on hold, but just to celebrate. Mine is a chocolate fudge cake, with whipped raspberry ganache, and it will have various chocolates on it, as well, as a decoration. I will post photo maybe next time.
Meantime, made some cupcakes for a pre-Thanksgiving occasion. Nothing new again here, a tried and true design, big with the kids (it was for a daycare center). Simple vanilla or chocolate, with a flavored buttercream and ganache.

[postimage id="5761" thumb="900"]@LelekBolek I so want one of those turkey cupcakes.
This is my 3 tier emoji cake for my niece. She loved the cake and plans on eating the top tier by herself at least it was only 3 inches.
@catlharper Your cake looks yummy!
@LelekBolek those turkey cupcakes are really cute! Sorry to hear your husband us having health troubles.
@Marian64 fun cake! I've been wanting to do emoji cookies or cake pops but haven't gotten to it yet.
No cakes for me this week but will be busy in the coming weeks. Tomorrow we are having a student pottery sale so fingers crossed for a successful day. We provide refreshments for the shoppers and I almost always make some sort of cookie. I had some extra sugar cookies in the freezer so just had to make the chocolate toppers for them. Same idea as the Halloween ones I did. Gave me a chance to try the mold out before Christmas.
Hope to see more creations :-)
Hi everyone!
Well, the cake was VERY popular...the family is now arguing about who gets this same cake for their birthday! LOL!
@LelekBolek Those turkey cupcakes are hysterical! Simply love them! Sorry to hear that your hubby is ill. I do hope life lightens up soon!
@Marian64 Love the emoji's....especially the right one on the top!
@kstevens Those are my favorite type of Christmas cookie! I have to be honest and admit that I never thought to make them myself! LOL! SO cute!
For those of you in America, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving week. We will be OFF this upcoming Friday due to the holiday so I'll catch you back up on Friday the 2nd!
Cat
Thank you for your well wishes.
I made another dozen of cupcakes fir my son's soccer team post-tournament treat. they are playing second day today (8 year olds but 23 year-old-wanna-bes))) Chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, with orange vanilla swirl.
@kstevens i love those kind of cookies. they make me think of skiing, as in some ski resorts they are given out on some random days up on the mountain!

This is a Birthday cake my wife Zoe made for a friends son last night. I also made a time lapse of her making it.
@Mralexmunday just wow the cake is amazing. I bet he loved it. I also got a kick out of watching the video she makes it look so easy.
Here is my chocolate-everything cake, for my MIL's birthday. She loved it. We all did - we had it at Thanksgiving dinner for dessert, and everyone said the flavor was delicious (choco-fudge with raspberry whipped ganache filling, and chocolate cream for different texture and switch of flavors, and more chocolate everywhere, chocolate-covered raisins and coffee beans, etc).
I made the 75 out of chocolate, too.

@LelekBolek let me tell you there is nothing about that cake looks last minute and you have my mouth watering. I am going to have to google this whipped raspberry ganache it sounds like the perfect combination with chocolate.
what happened to this week's FNCC? It's pretty much the only thing I check here regularly ))))
@Marian64 Thank you. I strained raspberry coulis-like concoction to rid of seeds, and mixed into whipped ganache. It was definitely a great combination. I also think it added moisture to the filling, and once in the cake, it made the cake also very tender. I recommend to serve this kind of cake after 2+ hours at room temperature. It was so smooth and creamy, but not greasy at all!
@LelekBolek I think Cat mentioned not doing it this week because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
This is the cake I made for my great niece's first birthday. Not perfect but she will enjoy it.

@LelekBolek as mentioned by @Marian64 , Cat took the week off from FNCC due to it being Thanksgiving in the US. i was goiung to take over for the week but I was too busy working on a cake for yesterday morning. I'll post it later on.
Hope eveyone had a great week!
These were my little turkey cupcakes for both of my daughter's classes for their Thanksgiving parties. I did simple vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. I found these cuties on YouTube and my kiddos had to have them. lol

So these were from my orders last week but November has been ridiculously busy so only posting now. More fresh flowers on semi-nakeds and a little puppy dog cake too.

Hi everyone,
The website is acting REALLY weird! I log in and then go to start a conversation thread and another website wants me to log in again! Too weird for me. Hope everyone's week was great!
