Once again, I overcommitted myself and somehow agreed to make 3 cakes and 48 cupcakes for Friday pickups! I continually find myself saying I am going to cut back but I never say no!
The first cake I made was a chocolate strawberry truffle cake-- I was asked to make a cake for a chocoholic so I thought I would combine my homemade bittersweet chocolate truffles rolled in cocoa powder with some dark chocolate dipped strawberries on top of a chocolate layer cake iced with chocolate buttercream icing. I also promised to make someone else a small truffle cake so I kind of killed two birds with one stone.
My third project was 48 puppy cupcakes. I got a lot of practice making these last weekend but they are still time consuming! It took several hours to make them all but they are SO cute!
My last project was a Rock Star cake for Gracen... I made her cake last year and it was a circus theme. Gracen is anything BUT ordinary so this year she decided on a rock star theme... her mom sent me pictures of a cake they liked and I decided to try to improve on that. First, I wanted to give it three tiers but they didn't need so much cake so I made them smaller. I also ordered some candy molds from a website to make the guitars and music notes but the molds had not come in the mail by Thursday so I panicked! I asked my friend Katie to make some guitars and musical notes while I made a skull out of black fondant... I have to say that it turned out really awesome! Katie did SUCH a great job-- I might have to make this cake for MY birthday!
