Dad's Bday

By -
I try to personalize if possible birthday cakes. My dad enjoys beer so here you go. We had gone to the Leinie's brewery last fall, and picked up some items in their gift shop. We gave him a Leinie's bucket with some plastic cups and coasters too. 





I wanted to add a little something extra, so I went for a small Smirinoff. Too bad it ruined the Leinie's theme though...

Baptism Cake

 A have a new Goddaughter! She is such a beautiful baby. So she deserved a cross cake, of course!  It has been quite a while since I wrote on here. It took a long time for me to get logged in because I didn't remember what email and password I used on here last 😂. Anyway... on to the cake!  I have had a cross shaped cake pan forever and have never used it! Whenever I had a baby, I was too exhausted to bake my own kid's Baptism cake :) One of the first things I did was make the buttercream. Of course, the first step is to cream that all up and add in the sifted powdered sugar! And wallah! I've got frosting.  Then I made some roses. I like putting them in the freezer to harden up, so then I can paint them with edible pearly dust when they're hardened up. After the cake was baked and cooled, I was so excited to try out a new piping tip. It's more of a large tip that spreads the frosting out smooth, ah, can't think of what it is really called. Oh well! That was rea...

Castle Cake

Our church had a Cana Dinner event and they had a Renaissance theme. I thought a castle would be neat to make.   The first thing I worked on was the tops of the towers. I tinted some white fondant with purple food coloring and rolled it out. Then cut out a shape to place over some cones. There were 12 of them!!! Of course it would be cool to have flags on the tops of them. I made different sizes that corresponded to the different sizes of the cones. I attached them white white fondant. I baked 6" and 10" cakes, and dirty iced them. Then I had my strong handsome husband :) roll out the white fondant for them. Might as well put him to good use. We used powdered sugar in place of the flour. Then I wanted to put some detail on the towers. I outlined the windows in purple icing and sprinkled on some silver sprinkles.  I had gotten molds for a stone look, and wanted to use that on the sidewalk thing in front of the door. I pressed the ...

Birthday Christmas Cake!

Happy Birthday to me! I had planned on my birthday cake this year to be from Carlo's Bakery at the Mall of America. I went to the mall today for Toddler Tuesday with the kids and of course stopped at the bakery. Since my birthday is in a couple days this was great timing for me to get my cake. I had just asked for a vanilla cake with fudge frosting. I actually didn't know how it was decorated until I opened the box at home. I was happy. It is a 7" round. The cake was so moist and dense. Yum. And the frosting was so thick. The cake itself was super heavy.  The green frosting was buttercream and was fabulous.
