The "More" of My Cakes and More...

  • Mood:

I'm really excited about some of the new things I've gotten into lately.  I've started doing cookie bouquets and decorated cookies and cookie cakes on a regular basis.

Also, just yesterday I completed a couple of "sweets trays" for a local event.  The trays contained chocolate chip cookies drizzled with chocolate, chocolate cake truffles drizzled with white chocolate, chocolate dipped strawberries, vanilla and strawberry cake squares (think "petit fours") and sugar cookies with "Sweet Annie's" cookie icing.  It was long hours and a lot of work but it was just a lot of fun for me to do such a different variety of things!  I'm hoping that I will have the opportunity to do more of these type of things on a regular basis as well.

 
 
 
Labor Day weekend I did my first wedding cake for Mexico.  The reception was outside and the bride and I had talked quite a bit about the concern for the heat and the cake being outside.  Well, we were blessed in having a cloudy day and slightly cooler temps but the humidity was so high... and then it started to pour down rain!  I stayed with the cake until the bride arrived for the reception and was told by a friend that the cake stayed just fine throughout the entire cutting!  It was definitely an experience that I won't soon forget! 
 

Next week I'm back out to South Padre Island for another wedding!  I love Island weddings!
