A Cake Tasting

These cakes were for a cake tasting. The rectangle cake was dark chocolate cake, the round cake was white cake, the crescent cake was milk chocolate. Each cake was filled equally with half raspberry pie filling, half raspberry cream sauce. They were covered with buttercream frosting, and drizzled with the fillings. Mmm! My favorite was the dark chocolate, with raspberry pie filling.

The Surprise Birthday Cake

This family ordered a total of four cakes - two for this past Sunday, and two for today. The husband wanted to order a birthday cake for his wife as a surprise - so I made it! This is a chocolate cake, with buttercream frosting. I hadn't made buttercream roses in a while! Fun times. :o)

The Sunsetty Cake

I just made my family a little cake, and used some leftover colored frosting to frost it. After smoothing it out, it reminded me of a sunset... or a painting.... or something. I had to take a picture. :o)

This was a chocolate/vanilla swirl cake, with buttercream frosting.

Cherie's Surprise 50th Birthday Party Cake

This should have actually been Number Forty-Two, but alas, it was missed. This was a white cake, colored to match the hawaiian luau theme. It was frosted with buttercream frosting, with decorations made of brown sugar, chocolate cookie crumb sprinkles, fondant, and piping gel.

Miguel's 1st Birthday Cake

This was a birthday cake for a boy's first birthday - it's actually one of four cakes! The theme was construction. This was a chocolate cake, with buttercream frosting. The "dirt" is brown sugar and cookie crumble sprinkles.
