I can hardly believe it is already June, where has the first half of the year gone?  I thought by now I would have many more posts of cakes but I don't and there aren't many more likely to come with weather in the 90-100's.  We have a house rule, well we have several house rules but one that specifically applies to cakes.  No oven time when it is over 90 outside.  Sometimes I have to break this rule as I did on June 4, 2016.  My first "wedding cake" for the season.  This was not only a wedding cake but a graduation cake.  You figure out the imagery on this one :)

This set of "cakes" at least did not come out of the oven but are sandwich cakes.  My first attempt at these was earlier in the year but this go around I varied the contents, one was smoked salmon, capers, red onion, cucumbers and radishes all sandwiched between bread and a cream cheese/sour cream frosting.  The second one was vegetarian with similar contents only sub the salmon for boiled egg and finally the square cake was a ham salad version filled with avocado, bacon and ham salad.  Yum!

The vision for this cake creation has been in my thoughts for about three months.  In July we spent a week on the Oregon coast with our dear friends including their soon to be two year old adorable boy.  He was all about the fish.  Fish in the ocean, fish at the aquarium, fish in the souvenir shops, fishy, fishy fishy.  The cake was vanilla with my stand-by favorite buttercream frosting.  All of the embellishments were edible, that is if you like sugar candy!  Super fun cake to make and share.  The two year old's comment? "Whoa...."  "Fishy"

"All the World is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much." George Harrison

I wish when I had turned 21 I was as composed as the young young lady is!       In Boise on Spring Break from Cal Poly she came to celebrate with her elders.  Not only is she beautiful but she's smart!  One of three students a warded the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) in STEM Undergraduate Research Scholarship for Summer 2018.    It was a true honor to create this cake for her to celebrate her coming of age party.   Happy Birthday Miranda!!

From Miss to Mrs.

This cake was a challenge.  I typically make my cakes the day OF the party.  I know they will be fresh, the decorations will be "just so" and if they aren't I can tweak them at the party.....not the case with this one.  I would not be there AND it had to be done a day and a half before the event.....the pressure!  This is exactly why I don't sell cakes for money, though I heard this one was a success even disguised as a gluten free chocolate delight!
