Taylor, a lover of all things marshmallow, had a birthday recently.
Since we share an infinity for all things mallow, I decided to make him a S'more cake for his party and surprise him.
Oh how I love surprises....
But only when I get to do the surprising.
Unless of course it's diamonds, or shoes.
But who ever gets surprised with shoes.
No one. And that's too bad....
I wouldn't mind be showered with shoes on my birthday.
Obviously not actually showered, that would really hurt....
Anyway, this very special cake for this very special boy turned out beyond my wildest dreams.
Check it out! Isn't it adorable!!!!
It's chocolate cake with a Jet Puff Marshmallow center that was sprinkled with graham crackers. The cake is topped with buttercream, then fondant.
Yep, this one isn't good for the diet but, it was sooooo worth it!
I personally love how fondant looks on a cake but it doesn't taste half as good as straight buttercream.
After covering the cake. Then rolling out and poking holes in the fondant for the top "graham cracker" I cut Hershey's bars at an angle and used some frosting to keep them in place, as if they were melting right out of the S'more. Yummmmm! Makes me wish I had a campfire right now....
This puppy sure had some WOW factor at the party and all the kiddos wanted to know if it was real.
Well yea! If it looks like a S'more and tastes like a S'more.
It's a S'more.
Then 2 days later I was asked to make a baby shower cake for a precious little girl.
I've always loved cakes that look like packages so.....
White almond cake with almond butter frosting. My specialty!
It was actually humid here that day. Humid doesn't happen very often here in Colorado and of course it was on the day of the baby shower. My bow didn't dry well and wasn't quite as big as I wanted it but everyone was none the wiser! I got so many compliments and everyone wanted my business card.
Yipppeeee!
I have a lot of people requesting cakes now and it's keepin' me busy. It seems I am the new Ace of Cakes around here.
I wish.
~On a side note, today is my 5 year anniversary. The hubs and I are spending the weekend in beautiful Breckenridge, CO and I am super excited. It will be crisp up there and the leaves should be amazing.
Hope you all have a fun filled weekend!
Happy October!
I hope you had a fabulous anniversary! :)
ReplyDeleteYour cakes look AWESOME and yummy! Oh goodness I would gain 10 lbs. if I ever came to visit you! :)
delicous...
ReplyDeletecan't wait to hear about your trip.
xo
You are such an artist!!! I wish I could make cakes like that. I am sure every kid was wishing you were their mom:-)
ReplyDeleteI just realized, while rereading this post, that I used infinity instead of affinity. Oh boy, sometimes I just need to laugh at myself. I do know the difference....
ReplyDeleteOh well...
I've already told you all about this, but DAMN, those cakes are so freaking awesome. I want to have some sort of party just so you can make ME a cake. Isn't next Tuesday, "nancy day"?
