Cake Endeavours

For Mr. T's birthday as long as it's chocolate he's not picky about the decoration and extra flavour.  I had red icing left over from yesterday's cake so I added peanut butter to it as I know he loves peanut butter and chocolate combined.  I sent Miss down to the store to buy buttercups and whatever else she could find to add to the cake; she found Crispy Crunch which was a perfect pairing. This was a two layer 6" chocolate cake with peanut butter icing and filling.  I also added broken buttercups and Crispy Crunch between the layers.  For extra chocolate I added some ganache.  Cutest helpers to lick the beaters.  Even found candles to put on the cake, and matches! Miss E captured this picture perfectly for me. The cake was also enjoyed for breakfast the next morning by everyone. 

I haven't done two cakes in one day in a long time!  After finishing this cake I was TIRED!  I left the kitchen a mess and went and had a nice nap! :) The instructions for this cake was red velvet, Happy Birthday Gaelen, and film themed as she's studying film at Ryerson. This was an 8" 2 layer red velvet with buttercream filling.  I had fun with the decorations, making the film reel for the top.  Don't look too closely at the circle cut outs.  They are a little wonky!  There was a gap between the reel and the film strip so I dyed the left over icing red and piped on a border to cover the gap.

This was a last minute request that I was happy to oblige!  Always love doing a cake for Tessia. This cake was an 8" 2 layer chocolate cake with light pink buttercream filling and icing.  The light doesn't capture the colour quite right as it looks more peach than pink, but it was a really nice shade of pale pink, I swear! Happy 29th Tee! :)
