United States Navy Chief Celebration Cake
Just two weeks after I made my first cake I decided to try another for a former sailor of mine who had made chief. I was very proud of him and wanted to give him something unique. The trouble is, there are no molds for the chief's symbol. So I got the food grade silicone and the no stick clay for this work and made my own mold. The cake is 3 two inch layers with Godiva dark chocolate ganache filling on one, fresh raspberry stewed puree on the second then topped with more dark Godiva ganache and a very tasty buttercream. No fondant. The molds are dark and milk chocolate chief symbols with edible silver dust accents. My second cake!!!

First Birthday Cake...and First Cake I Made!
This is the first cake I made that I attempted to make look nice. My normal cake chef had a family emergency a week before my niece's first birthday. This is my attempt to make a slightly less elaborate version of what we'd designed. It was huge but super delish. I thought it turned out okay for a first timer. The frosting is a tasty buttercream and the decorations are made of fondant and chocolate. And I was instantly addicted!
