CUT Anniversary/Wedding cake

Hey there out there blog followers!

This is shortshortshort post about two of the cakes I have worked on this week. I'm currently finishing up the 3rd cake and baking the 4th. The 4th cake is the wedding cake that we'll be traveling to Las Vegas with!

This cake was made for Charlie Tango for their yearly anniversary celebration. I think it's the 12th year -- I might be wrong on that though. I know this is the third anniversary cake I have made for them!

It's have milk chocolate, half vanilla with vanilla buttercream and fondant accents!




This wedding cake was made for a friend of the family. They wanted a red velvet cake covered in white buttercream with a simple border! Voila!



Hopefully I will have time to update with the 3rd cake and I'll definitely take a lot of pictures and give a detailed account of how we transported the 3 tiered wedding cake!

Over the Hill

This cake was made for a guy that just turned 40!

His fiance wanted an "over the hill" cake that sort of depicted his profession, he's a semi-truck driver.

This is a 1/4 sheet cake with the wonder cake mold on top as the mountain. They are all chocolate fudge cakes with french vanilla filling and vanilla buttercream.

The trees are made from pretzel twists, fondant and royal icing. The "road" is a piece of fondant, the rocks are raisinettes, the truck is real and the signs are paper.

This was a fun cake to make and I have to say that it looks pretty good for a cake that I DROPPED. Yes. I dropped this cake. Only one part was unsalvageable and we cut off the end of the front (where it hit) to give it a sloped look. I have never been more mortified in my life! And I just want to reiterate that only one part of this cake actually touched the ground and that part was cut off completely. I'm kind of glad it happened though - I think it turned out pretty great!

Because I can never choose between the pictures...
