Medellin-Garcia Wedding Cake

My first official Wedding Cake! May 16, 2009

The bride chose a classic cake. This was a four tier cake with two different flavors, Classic Yellow and French Vanilla, with pineapple filling and strawberry filling. Iced with Wedding White buttercream, all four tiers were decorated with pearl drops and cascading red rose pedals. A bouquet of fresh red roses topped the cake.

This was definitely a learning experience, from the prep work to delivery.....which by the way was during a horrible rain storm. Thank goodness the reception had a covered carport!

Veronica Medellin's Wedding Shower Cake

I made this for a wedding shower in May 2009. The bride had very simple and elegant taste, so the shower hostess requested a very simply decorated chocolate cake. We decided on a "gift wrapped" present with a ribbon and bow to match her wedding color.

This is My Double Decadent Chocolate Cake chocolate buttercream icing. White Fondant is layer over the top. The ribbon and bow are made of a fondant gum paste mix.

Hayc County Food Bank - Logo Cake

My first Corporate Logo cake!

My Boss sits on the board of the Hays County Food Bank. In April, of 2009, the food bank unveiled a new logo. I was asked to donate a couple of cakes to help celebrate the new logo at an event in downtown San Marcos.

I made a stencil and cut the logo out of fondant. Next time I will try air-brushing. Cutting all the letter detail was quite difficult.

Girls Night In Cake

Back in April, I threw a "Girls Night In" pre-bachelorette party for a good friend. The guest of honor is very stylish so I decided to do a fun, champagne and high heels theme.

This cake is a very simple Chocolate Fudge cake layered with chocolate butter cream. White fondant is rolled over the top for the base color and I added a hot pink ribbon and shoe platform to match the fun fringe. Unfortunately, I did not have time to mold the shoe. The black heel on top of the cake is a wooden decor piece.

So they are not really cops!

This was an interesting cake I did back in March '09.....yep....that far behind on my posts. On of my co-workers needed a cake to celebrate her co-workers birthday's. Not sure what promoted this idea, but it was funny and different. I wish I'd asked why one of the guys had a Fu Manchu hat and mustache. Oh well. It was fun to make.

Oh, you can't see this, since it's iced, but I actually baked it as half french vanilla and half triple chocolate fudge. All I did was cut a divider down to size and hold it upright while I poured in the batter. The biggest issue I had was the batters bake to different heights. Nothing a little leveling didn't fix.

Bad Blogger, Bad!

Okay......so I am a bad blogger. Actually, I just have trouble balancing life, other activities, with my need for a "Day Job". The real problem is that my day job is getting in the way of my fun job. I basically make the time to fill cake orders....and I do manage to take pictures of the cakes. I just don't give myself anytime for "administrative" stuff. I am working on it.

In the mean time, over the next week, I am going to update my blog with some of the cakes I've done in the last three months. I hope you enjoy! ~
