Just a few things we did this week. We were busy working on our video, website and ordering the rest of our ingredients and supplies in bulk.
Im going to work on setting up a photo area this week too!! Can't wait to see everyone else's work :)
My little one was off school yesterday so we baked a pumpkin-cream cheese bundt cake. it was delicious, very moist. It was not decorated, though, and she picked off the top of it and ate it. Such a silly girl!
XThis is what I made for my son's 2nd birthday my first attempt at a 3D cake although the minion shape is pretty simple I still had to shape the top into a dome!! He stands over 12 inches tall he's chocolate fudge cake with cookies and cream buttercream and chocolate ganache
Very cute creations this week! Love the little onesies on the shower cake @baycheeks1 and your minion is totally adorable @shellbell181 I made one last year and they are not quite as simple as they look! LOL! @Webake2gether setting up a business is a million little details...hope you find some time for R&R too!

I had so much fun with this cake! All buttercream but the drape and roses down the center (and Mr. and Mrs. Minion). Fun flavors too -- Apple crumb, Dark Chocolate Raspberry, and French Toast Maple Bacon.
@webake2gether your ghost carrying the jack o' lantern is adorable! @shellbell181 your minion is so perfectly accurate! I've been baking but nothing big or complicated. Below is your standard chocolate confetti birthday cake:
Here are some flower cupcakes:
These are Caramel Macchiato cupcakes topped with a chocolate covered coffee bean baked in Starbucks water cups. I did not sell them they were for a dinner I went to.
@Pastrybaglady you can come to my house anytime for dinner if that's what you bring :) I'm a total coffee nut!!! And chocolate is like my cryptonite I get ghirardelli chocolates and swear to you I can eat the whole bag lol.

Here are two projects from this week. Ruffles were a theme for my orders apparently âºï¸
Hi everyone! Working this weekend so haven't had much online time.
@oftheeicing There was no photo attached? Dying to see your cake!
@Norasmom sounds like something I'd eat the top off of too! LOL! YUM!
@Pastrybaglady The coffee freak in me is just dying to try those little "cups" of coffee!!!
@costumeczar Lilies I could actually have at my wedding! That cake is simply lovely. SO elegant!
@jfraelich I LOVE your "C" cake! I particularly love the colors but I think it's the ruffles on the bottom that do it for me! SO cute but in a grown up way!
Glad to see everyone is having a great week! My only baking was apple pie. We went on a pre-K field trip to pick apples and I brought home a bunch and baked them into a pie with a crumble topping. SO good! That was my bit of baking!
This next week I won't bake but there will be cake...MY birthday cake. SO excited..not for cake but for the fact that I get to go whale watching AND see My Fair Lady on the big screen the day of my birthday! Hope everyone has a great week!

I think I have it now, lol . . .

@oftheeicing LOL! That is wonderful! The cake itself is great (the whole half and half thing) but the minions are adorable!

@costumeczar Your cake is gorgeous, the lilies are beautious :)
@jfraelich I love the color combo of the C cake!
@oftheeicing the mash ups are mindbending!
@Webake2gether You know I live minutes from the Ghirardelli distribution center...
Hey everyone! It was Thanksgiving this weekend over here so I didn't take on any orders. Just made some simple cupcakes for the family that was coming over. I decided to try something new: Apple Pie cupcakes with cinnamon frosting. It was DELICIOUS We had a great weekend!
Everyone did a great job this week!
@shellbell181 Adorable Minion cake! I've always wanted to make one
@Pastrybaglady As usual, amazing job! But those Caramel Macchiato cupcakes, WOW & YUMMY. One of my favourite drinks at Starbucks too haha!
@Pastrybaglady I would so steal one of those trucks haha just kidding it would be torture for me to live that close. My husband was eating one of my chocolates the other day and I told him I hope he enjoyed it bc that would be the last time he ate one of my girardhelli chocolates ;)
speaking of chocolate I'll go enjoy one now!!
This was my cake Friday night. It was a surprise cake for a friend, ordered by her sweet husband- unfortunately at 8:30 pm Thursday night he changed the delivery time from Friday evening to Friday morning - no problem! She loved it, but is on a liquid diet pending gall bladder surgery. Told her to take a picture of her with the cake, then quarter it and freeze it.
Spent the rest of the weekend working on 70 mehndi designed sugar cookies favors for a friend's Indian fusion wedding this coming weekend.
