Mini Christmas Cakes, Take 2 and Other Goodies

On to my 2nd co-worker who decided on 25 chocolate flavoured mini cakes, 2 pans of lemon bars, a pan of salted caramel bars and a "pine cone" cake.

I had just enough gold shimmer spray and red shimmer pen for this order. I sent Mr. T on a mission to get more gold spray. It was no where to be fond at this time of year. I'm not sure what I am going to do for the third order but I will figure that out later on. Ha! The chocolate cakes were a lot harder to cover in a crumb coat than the vanilla. Good grief. They looked like globs of cookies and cream ice cream. I did manage to bring my time down to just over an hour to cover the 25 in fondant.

This cake was an 8" two layer chocolate cake. This went together pretty smoothly. Mr T delivered these out to the west end and of course picked himself up a Slurpee on his way back.

On to the next cake...

80th Birthday Cake and Cupcakes

For this 80th birthday I was asked to make 6" cake and 8 dozen cupcakes. I was told that the birthday girl liked flowers so that's what I went with for the decorating. I absolutely love how this cake turned out. It was a two layer 6" cookies n' cream (this time I didn't forget any ingredients!) cake. I covered it in pale blue fondant, with soft pink and white flowers. I made a large three layer rose the night before with some leaves so they would have enough time to dry out. For "80", I cut out two of each number out so I could hide the cocktail stick between the two layers. I had just enough of the soft pink ribbon to go around the bottom of the cake to finish it off. Now, for the cupcakes I did raspberry cupcake with raspberry mascarpone icing, lemon cupcake with lemon cream cheese icing, caramel cupcake with salted caramel icing topped with caramel sauce and cookies n' cream cupcake with buttercream icing. Two dozen of each went t...

WWE Birthday Cake

To decorate this cake I covered it in vanilla buttercream. The sides I covered in black fondant. To hide the uneven edge of the fondant I added a red border around the top. For the corners of the ring I used red bubble tea straws I had on hand wrapper with some DMC black floss and topped with black fondant. Happy Birthday I cut out with fondant. The WWE logo I printed off and backed it with a laminated piece of red card stock. Tommy was cut out using my Cricut machine. Cake: 10" chocolate layer and vanilla layer with vanilla pudding filling.

60th Jack Daniels Birthday Cake

These types of cakes are so much fun to do. Over the top goodness! Especially, when the original plan was to use airplane size bottles of Jack Daniel's instead of one 300mL bottle. When Mr T went to the LCBO he was told that they longer sell them, at least as this location, due to high theft. The next smallest size available was the 300mL bottle; though I doubt the birthday boy was disappointed! This was a 3 layer chocolate 8" cake with Bailey's buttercream topped off with Hershey pieces, mini chocolate chip cookies, Ferrero Rocher and Whoppers sitting on top of the chocolate ganache.
