Mustache Cake

The mustache fad is getting pretty big.  My son wanted a mustache cake for his 10th birthday.  It was super simple and I made edible chocolate mustaches to place all over it.

Here is the template I used.  Placed wax paper over the paper and  filled them with melted chocolate.  They came off the wax paper so easily!

It was this simple!

Basketball Cake and cupcakes

This was a fun cake to make.  With my kitchen aid bowl broke in the midst of making the fondant and then my hand mixer broke, it was an interesting night getting this finished.  Thank goodness my mother in law lives a few miles down the road and her mixer came to the rescue!

Happy 10th Birthday Brandon.

This little girl has a special place in my heart.  I was there when she was born and even got to cut her umbilical cord....because if her father did he would have fainted LOL.  Hard to believe she is turning 4.   I made a simple chocolate cake and cupcakes with buttercream frosting along with red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.

Happy 4th Birthday Derin !!!!

Hello Kitty Cake Pops and Cake

My friends daughter Megan turned 5 and wanted a Hello Kitty cake and cake pops.  I usually don't do cakes so I was pretty nervous.  This was my first fondant cake ever.  Of course, I see all the imperfections and wish I could have fixed them, but unfortunately, I just don't know how do fix them.  I was happy to hear that Megan loved them and thought they tasted great so that was all that mattered :)

Edible Image Cake Pops

Here was a fun set of cake pops I made this weekend for a local Judge in our area.  Jen, at Custom Cake Creations http://www.customcakesonline.com/index.html created the edible images and I thought they turned out great.  Thanks Jen!

Busy, Busy, Busy, Busy!

These next few months are going to be CRAZY busy!  Functions, birthdays, weddings.  This business is really taking off and I am beyond excited.

Owl Cake Pops

120 little owls were incredibly time consuming, but turned out absolutely adorable!  Here is a basic step by step breakdown of how to make them.

You will need the following:
Cake rolled into cylinder shapes (see picture)
Chocolate melting discs
Candy necklaces
Candy coated sunflower seeds
Brown mini m&m's
Chocolate chips
Confetti for the feet
Toothpick
Sticks

Each owl consists of 2 eyes, 2 feet, 2 wings, 2 ears and 1 nose.  The eyes are candy necklaces, the feet are confetti I found at Mr. Bulky's in Akron, Ohio, the wings are mini brown m&m's, the ears are chocolate chips and the nose is candy coated sunflower seeds.

Sorry the pic is sideways.  I could not get it to rotate.

Chocolate Cake (see previous post for recipe)
Yes, I am totally aware I have mad cutting skills!
This is perfectly even right?!

Icing (see previous post for recipe)

1 quarter of your cake will make approximately 12 cake pops.
I add 2 scoops of icing

.

This is what your cake should look like.  Roll a ball
to see if they stick together.  If they fall apart, they need
more icing.

Tablespoon usually gives me the perfect size round cake ball 

Roll the cake into a cylinder shape

Dip stick into melted chocolate.  Remember, do not
get your chocolate too hot.  This will cause your
cake pop to crack!

Dip chocolate chips in melted chocolate and stick on top
for ears.  It dries in seconds.

Dip cake into chocolate.  Tap off excess.  Place m & m wings.
The cake pop may dry too fast before you can add
everything so you may want to have a tooth pick handy!
Dip the tooth pick in chocolate and dab where eyes will be.
Repeat process for nose and feet.

Congratulations!  You just made an owl cake pop.
Now wasn't that easy :)
