Whip Cream & Strawberries

Gluten free strawberry shortcake take two!  This was an order for a special birthday.  Turning 30 and keeping a strawberry shortcake tradition alive, without the gluten.  We tried a new recipe with this order and can now offer three gluten free flavor options: vanilla, chocolate, and almond.

Cake was gluten free almond with vanilla whip cream and strawberry filling, frosted with vanilla whip cream.  Try a strawberry whip cream cake today, with or without gluten.

Christmas is arguably the most festive time of the year, so why not celebrate twice?  This order channeled the holiday spirit with a fun summer twist.

Strawberry Short Cake

When Felicita's mom asked me to make this birthday cake for my long time friend, I was so excited to be making her cake.  The challenge is that it had to be gluten free.  While it look me a bit to get the recipe just right (2 cakes were involved) she loved the final product with strawberries and cream filling.
Cake is gluten free yellow cake with whipped cream and strawberry filling, buttercream frosting, chocolate hand dipped strawberries and chocolate letters.

Jonas Brothers Cake

Alexandra is my little sister, and in honor of her 12th birthday we threw a surprise party for her, and boy was she surprised.  Hiding a cake this size from your sister who's house you were using to bake and decorate this cake is no easy task.  Luckily, the surprise went on without a hitch and everyone was able to enjoy the Jonas Brothers in cake form.
Cake is marble with buttercream frosting and buttercream fondant.

Give a Gift!

This was my first cake with fondant.  It's what we learned to make in the second Wilton Cakes course.  If you'd like to learn how to decorate cakes, those courses are great for any beginner.  You will probably look at this cake or others and wonder how you'll do it, but it is easier than it looks.  Give the gift of cake and it will be a delicious memory.
This cake is chocolate with buttercream icing and buttercream fondant.

Sunflower Surprise

When I was told it was our neighbor's birthday, I knew I had to make her a cake.  But what to make?  I decided that everyone loves a sunflower and so this idea was born.  I photographed the process step by step, to show how the cake was filled with chocolate ganache.  The recipe was yellow cake with the ganache filling, buttercream frosting and the sunflowers have chocolate ganache centers.
Terry was surprised and that's a good thing!
