Crazy Cake Idea

Awhile back, I was asked by the mother of one of my best friends if I could create a cake for two of her children's wedding celebrations, I said sure.  I asked her to decide what she wanted the cake to look like and let me know.  When she called to tell me about the cake design I thought she was crazy.  She said "I just love trees so I thought a cake that looks like an aspen tree would be just perfect.  Well it shouldn't look like an actual tree, just the trunk of the tree."  I politely responded "That sounds great, I am sure I can do that" and when I hung up I shook my head thinking, huh how on earth am I going to do that?  Well you know this little thing called google images?  Yea, just like that I came up with this idea.  I have to admit, it was one of the easiest (and most fun) cakes I have made in awhile!  Thanks Katy for the inspiration.

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"

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!
