Two cakes in one day! This one was vanilla with mango filling on the top two layers, chocolate with strawberry filling on the bottome. Hope it was tasty! I'll post a pic of the other cake later, I didn't take one and have to wait to bum one from someone who was at the wedding =)

Dia de los Muertos style:

Bottom layer is lemon sponge cake with organic strawberry filling, top is vanilla cake with peanut butter filling - ALWAYS a hit. Completely enrobed in white chocolate ganache - mmmm.

200 individual cheesecakes + a 10" cheesecake for the wedding party (so the b&g had something to slice).
A topping bar was also included, Ghirardelli chocolate ganache, strawberry sauce, apricot sauce and fresh whipped cream. Delish!

This is enough cake to feed almost 300 people! It was humongous, weighing in at over 60 lbs! That means 60 lbs of flour, sugar and eggs. Insane. It was also my first fondant cake at this size, and I am quite happy with the way it turned out. Four layers, four flavors - bottom, 16" is vanilla bean cake with clementine marmalade (from my neighbors tree! A seperate project in itself =)) Second from bottom (14") is dark chocolate cake with strawberry filling, third (12") is vanilla bean cake with spicy peanut butter filling and the top (10") is carrot cake with cream cheese filling. YUM!

Here is the cake that I made last week for the JCS dance - feeds 100 people, bottom cake is vanilla-cinnamon with dulce de leche filling. Top cake is vegan chocolate with chocolate fudge frosting. The whole thing is iced with "real" buttercream - hence the buttery hue.

for good measure

Thought I should throw this one up there - This was the first cake I ever made! It was a lemon-strawberry chiffon cake on the top two layers and the bottom layer is carrot cake. The bottom is vegan and the top two are NOT at all, tons of eggs and buttercream. I swear, I make the best vegan carrot cake EVER, though, so your guests would never know the difference...

I really need to get better about TAKING PICTURES and posting them!

Mmmm. This was an excellent choice of cake - an eggless spicey-spice cake (I threw some cayenne pepper in there for some extra kick) with an anise cream cheese filling. The bottom layer is a white chocolate cake with passion fruit filling (this one has eggs) and there is a white chocolate ganache over the entire cake. SUPER YUMMY and unique. I think it came out quite nice, too!

i make cake. i really like cake. i mean, i really like foods of all types. i really like cooking and creating. i think that i really like cake because on top of cooking, creating and experimenting there is a whole art to decorating it and making it beautiful. it is an extreme challenge to not only make it taste phenomenal, but to create a real piece of art for all of the senses. i like to use good, random, off-the-wall ingredients and combinations to make a unique and taste-worthy cake creation. you can manifest anything on cake. cake is my current artistic medium of choice, so to speak. i will use this blog to post pictures, recipes whatever is on my mind at the time and just to keep a rolling diary of what is going on in my cake world. please comment, inquire, whatever. thanks for reading! Above is and eggless chocolate-raspberry cake with raspberry fruit filling, covered with dark and white chocolate ganache. organic.
