how do YOU get to work?

Fancy motorcycle perhaps?

Monster trucks?

Personally, I favor my submarine.

My yellow submarine.

Where we all live :)

the variety cake show

Here's a couple of cakes that were ordered for various parties, a wedding, a wedding shower...you get the idea. Nice sophisticated cakes suitable for any event really...

All three are very different as well. The first is finished in chocolate ganache. Ganache is some nice dark chocolate, melted and whisked with whip cream. You let it set up in the cooler then when you are ready to use it you whip it up.

So divine....

The second and third are both done in fondant, the first showing off some spectacular gum paste roses, the last showing off some lacy cutouts.

prettiness

Just a quick blog today, must get down to Toad Hall to get something for my darling daughters birthday (5!!). Wowza. Nothing like kids growing to make you feel old...

Anyway, nice party cake, swirls, flowers, I believe it was for a wedding shower. Very sophisticated :)

yes, that's a cockroach.....

I am still kind of surprised that I am posting this picture.
Cockroaches.
On a cake.
Made from icing....
I have always wanted to be featured on cakewrecks, but on their Sunday Sweets posts, not on their everyday wrecks...I'm afraid this may come to haunt me.

In my defense, it's only what the customer asked for. This cake was for a retirement, and we wanted to encompass all the aspects of the career she was retiring from. Being in Community Health, Environmental Services, and bylaws, it drew up some interesting ideas.
Like cockroaches.
I had to google an image, as honestly, I've never seen a cockroach before, not in person anyway. I couldn't handle seeing the image on the screen. Gave me the willies every time I looked at it. Couldn't get it done quickly enough.
