Crazy and Insane!

Well, it has been a while since I have updated my blog! I got on a couple of weeks ago to start posting and got distracted...I have been sooo busy with the cake orders, building the bakery, and life in general! Hmm..that bakery...things are still at a standstill as we try to find used equipment to fill the space!! Anyways, this post will be to kinda get ya'll up to speed on a few of the cakes Confections has put out the door recently! I hope ya'll like them!

White and coral squares

Modern style wedding cake in a beautiful garden! The cake was white almond with torted layers filled with cream cheese and pinapples, and strawberry filling! I got lost for 30 minutes trying to find the venue LOL! Talk about nerve wracking!!

Tackle box and fish

This cake was a lot of fun to make! The cake parts are the tackle box and fish. The board is fondant made to look like wood planks and the tackle are made of fondant too! Marble cake, buttercream icing.

Spongebob Squarepants

I am loving this cake! LOL I watch SB just as much as my kids! Anyways, I decided to do this cake in all buttercream. The scene is Jellyfish Fields. I first airbrushed the hills with yellow (yellow+blue=green!) so I could get that light green color. Then, I piped on the outline of the hills with green buttercream and used a wet paint brush to swipe it upwards giving it the effect of a grassy field :D Used the leaf tip for the seaweed, and free handed the flowers, jellyfish and bubbles! The figurines are licensed cake toppers.

Another Kitchen update!!

Whoohooo!!!! Plumbing and electrical has been installed, the drywall hung and sanded!! Its a bit dusty still, but if all goes well, I will start painting in the morning!!! I still have quite a bit left to buy in terms of the tables, shelves, sinks....okay, so all I really have so far is an oven LOL! BUT ITS ALMOST DONE!!!! Excited doesn't even touch how I feel right now!!! Now...pink walls, green walls....pink, green, pink green...that is the choice I have to make TODAY!! So, now I am off to obsess over paint swatches...I hope I pick something I can live with a long time, I sure don't want to be repainting anytime soon!!

Sweet 5th

So sweet! I am just tickled to death over how this cake turned out!!! The mom asked for the colors, then stripes on bottom, and maybe polka dots on top...SOO I did that, but added a little more interest with some Gerber Daises and butterflys!!

Sail Boat Baby Shower

This cake was a vanilla cake, strawberry filling, and cream cheese icing decorated with fondant! The design was changed just days before the cake was due, so I had to put the sail boat on the side of the cake because of the lack of drying time :( Still, cute cake! The customer used a sail boat she had at home for a topper :D

Saints Birthday Cake!!

YUMMMY Cake!! This cake was inspired by the Doberge cake from Gambino's bakery in New Orleans, LA. Check out the Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doberge_cake. If you are ever in New Orleans, make the effort to get a slice of this cake!! My cake, although not the original, was still very yummy! French Vanilla cake, chocolate pudding filling (yes, REAL PUDDING!) covered in a layer of chocolate buttercream, poured chocolate ganache, and then decorated with fondant!!! This cake was HEAVY!!

I love me some sparkle :D There is also white sanding sugar on the main part of the cake as well to add some sparkle on the entire cake!
