Drapes and Rhinestones

     Isn't this a beautiful cake?  We had a great time figuring out how to make the drapes even, deep and pretty.  The cake was a challenge, but we did it :)  at Carrie's Cakes in Sandy, Utah.  Hooray!!!!  Hope the Bride and Groom loved it as much as we did!

Princess and the Pea Weecakies

     




     Do you know the story of the Princess and the Pea?  It is an Anderson fairy tale-as in Hans Christian.  I love fairy tales.  Anyway, the story tells of a Prince who was looking for a true Princess to marry. He looked high and low, and left and right and, well, you can read the complete story for yourself at: http://childhoodreading.com/?p=5.  The true Princess was actually kept awake all night by a silly little pea under a stack of fluffy mattresses and feather beds!  So, a couple of weeks ago a sweet young mother contacted me needing Princess and the Pea-head Weecakies for her daughter's first birthday celebration and this is what I came up with.  Aren't they cute?  I actually had a couple of sleepless nights myself thinking of ways to make a pea-head cute.  These Weecakies are deep chocolate cake truffles dipped in green Callebaut chocolate, topped with a green chocolate hat, chocolate tendril and a white flower.  Happy piped faces and rosy cheeks round out the design.  What a fun theme for a child's birthday party.  Happy Happy birthday little Princess!

Happy Bees Weecakie CakePops

  


 Its Spring and the bees are humming in their hives.  They are humming because there are fresh blossoms to be found everywhere.  My fruit trees have exploded into full bloom.  Spring is truly a new beginning...and getting back to the bees, well, they are happy to be humming and buzzing.  I was remembering that when a bee finds a good source of nectar, they return to the hive and do a dance to tell their companions where to find the new cache of food.  How happy is that?  My Happy Weecakie Bees are made with an almond flavored cake truffle (although they could be any flavor of your choice) 
 dipped in yellow chocolate.  Then I add white chocolate molded wings, pipe on the eyes and antenna draw the stripes with an edible marking pen and give them a kiss of blush.  We could all learn something from bees.  As Mary Poppins sings:
     "The honeybees that fetch the nectar
     From the flower to the comb
     Never tire of ever buzzing to and fro
     Because they take a little nip
     From every flower that they sip
     And hence..They find...Their task is not a grind"

We too can go about our various jobs with joy, humming with happiness and and dancing when we find success.  Have a Happy Spring!  :)

Love,

Weecakies
