My husband's Aunt asked me to help her with a "Holiday Open House" in her home this weekend. She requested I make a red velvet cake for her guests. This cake was 6 layers, all made from scratch, with cream cheese icing, decorated with silk poinsettias. The guests were thrilled to have a slice of cake that took up the whole plate. Needless to say, this cake, along with the chocolate fondue fountain, was a big "wow" factor. The Open House was a huge success. I wish you happy holidays!
I've never been a real big fan of Halloween, so we've always celebrated Harvest instead. I made this Harvest Pumpkin for my kids to enjoy during the season. It's two made from scratch vanilla bundt cakes with strawberry filling, iced with buttercream. The stem is an iced ice cream cone inverted to sit on top. It's not perfect, but the kids enjoyed it.
My daughter turned 18 and since she loves horses and is learning to barrel race, I figured that would be the theme for her cake. Bottom is a full sheet cake, with a 10" round white cake filled with homemade strawberry preserves. All frosted with Buttercream. Horseshoes, the numbers, and "Happy Birthday" is molded chocolate covered with mohagany luster dust. She LOVED it!
My husband's Aunt turned 75 this past weekend, and she had never had a birthday party in her life. Needless to say, when I heard that, the party plans began. She absolutely loves sunflowers, so this is the design that I came up with in my sleep! The whole cake is made from scratch. Double Chocolate cake on top, and an old family recipe pound cake for the bottom. Cake was iced with Buttercream and decorated with silk flowers. She loved the cake.
Made for a young fellow that just lost his dad a few days ago. I thought this might make his birthday a little better since he loves Teddy Bears. All Buttercream. Bear is chocolate/chocolate and basket is french vanilla cake with Buttercream. He really loved the cake. His mom said that was the first time he had smiled since his dad died.
I'm taking Course 1 and have an awesome teacher. She did a demonstration last Saturday and I stood over her shoulder and watched every move she made for two hours. I went home and this is what I came up with. Nowhere near the quality of hers, but gettin there....
