Cake Giveaway #9

Lime and Coconut Cake

I am not a big fan of lime in dessert especially key lime pie or lime custard. But i am a big fan of coconut, so when i saw this recipe in party cakes book I just had to try the combination. Oh boy this cake is all so good. You get a sweet, coconutty, tangy taste all with crusty texture from the toasted coconut. Not my favorite cake but definitely a keeper!

Cake Giveaway #8

This is a cake I made for twin Chet and Bailey. They love everything cowboy. The top tier is a cake wrap in bandana fondant and the bottom is a cowboy pants.  It look so simple but a lot of effort and mess came with it. I told my husband I am going to quit decorating cakes. But after seeing this, it's all worth it.

Playing around with Calla Lilly

I  have been practicing how to make calla lilly and this one is my first try. Not too bad. Now I only need a cake to put it on. So i made a chocolate cake covered in ganache. The contrast between the glossy dark brown ganache and the white calla lilly really brings out the dramatic colors.
