Graduation Cap Cake

I had a request for a graduation cap for a client's boyfriend who graduated this past weekend, here is the end result!

WASC

WASC is also known as white almond sour cream cake. I decided to use this recipe for both cakes I am making this week. Here is the recipe and I will let you know how it turns out! This recipe makes 2-9 inch rounds and one 9x13 sheet cake.

Two Very Different Cakes

This week I will be doing two cakes that couldn't be more different from each other. The first one is for my daughter's Spring Carnival at school for a fundraiser. I have decided to do a designer purse and a matching shoe. All of the donated cakes will be auctioned off at the end of the night. It will be a challenge but really fun to do too!

The second cake is for a client's boyfriend for his surprise graduation party. I will be doing a cake to look like a graduation cap. I love being able to try something new all the time! I will post pictures as soon as I can. Have a great day everyone!

The Craig Family Garden

The whole family joined in to get our garden planted this year. The kids always have a great time digging in the dirt and planting all of the seeds. I think we did most of the planting on Mother's Day and some of the seeds are finally starting to sprout! We never actually have a very productive garden but it is fun to plant new things each year and watch them grow!

Wedding Cakes

These are two wedding cakes (my first ones!) that I made this weekend.  I hope you like them! I also posted a picture of the cakes pops the bride and I made together. She really did a great job of displaying them.

Almost done!

Well the wedding cakes are complete, all that is left is delivery and setup.  Congratulations to the two couples on their big day tomorrow!

Two Wedding Cakes for Two Great Brides

I am over extending myself this week and making 2 wedding cakes!  They are for two great friends so how could I possibly say no?  So far I have baked the cakes, bakes the cupcakes, filled the cakes and covered them in white chocolate ganache.  When this crazy weekend is over I will post some pictures as a sort of play by play on my cake making process.  This is sort of a big deal to me as these are my first traditional wedding cakes!
