Bears Cake

So, as usual, my work had a luncheon. I hadn't made a cake in awhile and it happened to be 2 days before the big Bears Vs. Packers game. So being the good Chicagoan I am I made a Bears cake. Did it real fast like since no one is paying me :)

I tried a new recipes on this one caled "White" Velvet. It basically had White chocolate pudding mix, white chocolate mocha coffee creamer and white chocolate chips in it.

The symbol was made with fondant and I was unhappy with the shade of colors I got so I painted them with food coloring.

Halloween Cake!

Work was having a pot luck and I can't cook so I made a cake. It was close enough to Halloween to make a Halloween themed cake. I made a orange velvet cake (just dyed the dough orange) with cream cheese frosting. It is covered in fondant with a tinfoil/toothpick tree convered in fondant.

Ashley's Birthday Cake

My best friend since I was 5, Ashley, is celebrating her 25th birthday this week. I headed back home this past weekend so I decided I would make her a cake and bring it to her a bit early. I wanted to make something very special for her and had a ton of ideas running through my mind. I went to the Pink Cake box website as I do everyday and saw this cake. The top tier caught my eye and I thought that it was something she would really like. I did my cousin's cake this weekend too so I needed something pretty simple so I could finish both.

I made the cake Friday night. I asked Ashley her favorite flavor and like many she said chocolate but she also said she liked any kind so I decided to mix it up a bit. I made her a White Almond Sour Cream cake with buttercream frosting. She is one person who I knew that would appreciate a cake with a less than normal name. I handed it off to her and she loved it and texted me later that night to tell me it was delicious! :)
