I thought that you might like to see what I do at my regular job. I am lucky to work for the sweetest lady (literally and figuratively :) Carrie Biggers of www.carriescakes.com. This past weekend we made a Tangled Tower cake for a very lucky little girl's birthday celebration. I got my inspiration from this post: http://cakecentral.com/gallery/1949965. This was a blast to make. I started off with a center base for the tower made out of krispie treats and icecream cones. Then I covered everything with gumpaste. The fun parts were making the details-windows, casements, roof shingles and flowers. The cake was a raspberry swirl pound cake covered with fondant fresh on that day. My picture didn't turn out very well as the colors were not quite as bright as these appear. The green was a bit more grassy green and the roof tiles were a bit more purple. It was great fun though, and I got to exercise my creativity. Hope the birthday party was a "Tangled Success!"
My wonderful daugher has been at the MTC in Provo, Utah for the past 6 weeks learning Portuguese prior to her departure to the Santa Maria, Brazil Mission. She is full of vim and vigor; she loves the atmosphere there. She loves the learning and challenges that go along with acquiring a new language. She loves the Spirit of Teaching, and most of all the Spirit of Missionaries. I am glad that she loves her life at this time. To celebrate Brazil I made these Brazilian Flag Weecakies for her to share with her fellow Portuguese learning missionaries. They are deep dark chocolate cake dipped in green colored chocolate and topped with a yellow rhombus and blue earth. On the real flag of Brazil the words that are on the white banner are "Ordem e Progresso" (which means "Order and Progress") and little white stars that reflect the night sky over Rio de Janeiro. The constellations are different in the southern hemisphere than they are here. I know that she will be a great missionary. Get ready Brazil....Here she comes!
Weddings are wonderful! The blushing Bride and the grinning Groom standing together, hand in hand, declaring their undying love for each other. What is better than that? So now you are asking "What do Tennis Shoes have to do with weddings?" Well, our good friend Alison is getting married and she has decided to wear Tiffany Blue tennis shoes on her sweet feet. None of this high-heel-spikey-Cinderella-glass-slipper nonsense for her. Alison has decided to go for comfort and whimsey at the same time. How neat is that? So.............. to celebrate her wedding my daughter and I designed these Tiffany Blue Tenni Runner Weecakies. They are hand-formed decadent chocolate cake dipped in specially colored Callebaut Chocolate, tipped in white and then topped with hand-piped dark chocolate laces and bows. There's no rubber here! Tiffany Blue Tenni Runner Weecakies are real chocolate and are guaranteed to melt in your mouth. Thanks Alison for letting us make Weecakies for your special day. ALISON AND JARED ALWAYS AND FOREVER! We love you guys.
