50th Anniversary Cake

I celebrated my 10th wedding anniversary last week.  While that's wonderful, it pales in comparison to celebrating 50 years!  Today I had the pleasure of creating a 50th Anniversary cake adorned with gold lace. 

This 3 tier cake was a vanilla bean cake with vanilla pastry cream. 

Edible Figures

I don't get requests very often to put figurines on a cake, so I took the liberty of trying one out when I did the garden cake for the Loveland Wedding Professionals meeting.  She's a bit heavy on eye make-up, but I had fun making her!  There is a wonderful book at the library on fairy tale type cakes (by Debbie Brown) and she has great figurines.  Can't wait to try more!

In the news...

Got a fun article today in the Food Section of the Longmont Times-Call.  This is a section featuring a particular person and a recipe with a story usually.  I was honored to have them call me to ask about my cakes!  http://www.timescall.com/food/food_story.asp?id=22179

Great American Bakesale Fundraiser

Today was the big day over at Cayenne Kitchen in Longmont.  They have a terrific customer base - many of which donated their very own baked goods to raise money for Share Our Strength.


Slice was happy to be a part of the event, giving away some cake truffles, and we donated this teacup cake (the flavor was Chai of course!).
