The Tasty Cake

I made this cake just for taste, not one of my pretty, stressful cakes. I was in Texas this christmas and I was showing my grandpa my cakes. He said that he would love a german chocolate cake. I went to the store and got the stuff and we made an awesome, three tier german chocolate cake. I put cherrys on top and it looked just as good as it tasted. I enjoyed getting to make a cake just for him, since I don't get to see him much. I think that he would have liked it no matter what it looked or tasted like. I think that this was one of my favorite cakes, just becasue I got to make it for my wonderful grandpa. Love Ya Grandad Joe!

ButterSCREAM!

This is Mylee with the cake!

This was my first buttercream cake and I do have to say that it was one of the hardest that I did. I have heard people say that the fondant is so much harder. I must have to say that I disagree. I think that the fondant is a piece of cake, HAHAHA get it! Anyway enough of my lame jokes. I made this cake as a sale also. It was for my friend Rikki's baby Mylee. She is so cute and this cake was perfect for her. It was a monkey cake and after it was done I was very glad that I had done it. It was great experience for me to have, it helped me with my pipping skills. Needless to say they weren't that great and they still aren't, I am really practicing. At first I thought that they cake was going to be a complete failure, but the further I worked on the cake the cutter it became. I ended up loving this cake, though many things in the process went wrong. This cake was truly a learning experience and I hope that I have many more oppurtunities to make buttercream cakes. I do have to say that I will be sticking mostly with the fondant thing, but at least I will know how to make the buttercream. If you like monkeys than you will love this cake. I think that it was a wonderful idea.

P.S. Thank You Rikki for the pictures, I forgot to get some with my camera so I only have them on my phone!

A CAKE MADE BY ME, FOR ME!

I made this cake for . . . my birthday. Yes I know that it is kinda wierd that you would make your own birthday cake, but I knew just what I wanted for a cake and I knew that I would be able to make it. I made it really fast acctually. I just covered it with the white fondant and them cut the black stripes and made the pink bow. The black was hard to color, but there wasn't much needed so it wasn't too bad. The pink went fast and the bow was one of the best that I have made for my cakes. I loved the cake and if you know me then you know that I love the zebra stripes. The middle was just a mix with simple frosting so I won't say that it was the best tasting, but that is becase my party was on a Friday and I had to go to school so I wasn't able to make it the best that I could, but I still just loved the cake. And for my mom I wanted to make the cake so that it would be just what I wanted, even though she tried to get me to just let her make the cake. I do want to thank her though she was tons of help, as she always is when I make a cake. By the way be ready I am about to attempt to make a pig cake, so we will see if it is good or if I make a fool of myself. If any of you would like a cake you can just email me or call me at 243-2944 and I will try and work it out. Just give me a couple weeks notice and until school gets out I will have to only do cakes on the weekends. Thanks!!
