School Bake Sale Sampler

I baked the whole day yesterday - that's when you wish you had two of the Kitchen aids and large ovens! I created 10 boxes of Caketivity samplers consisting of 4 different cupcakes; Mocha Java, Choco Marshmalloreo, Simply Vanilla and Peanut Butter chocolate. Always scratch baked...never out of the box! Hopefully those who buy have enjoyed them!

Just a note

I would like to thank all my family, friends and all my "tasters" for the lovely words and encouragement that you have provided to me in the past few weeks. Keep it up...LOL...it provides me with the boost I need. I suppose my next step would be to go out and market my product...just waiting for my business cards to come in.

Hurray...I just got my first order!

I got my first order for 2 cakes - an 8" 4 layer and a 6" 2 layer - Chocolate Raspberry Ganache. Basically the cake was chocolate with consecutive layers of raspberry whipped cream, whipped chocolate gancahe and then all covered with ganache. The leftover batter I made into cupcakes...once again I love making cupcakes...chocolate cupcake with whipped raspberry cream filling and a decorative star of chocolate ganache (hehehe...thats all I had left, therefore I had to use sparingly).

Sports cake

Hurray, I got my grass tip! The birthday cake for the boys is complete. They have not seen it, so I look forward to their reaction. Yellow cake with buttercream icing. This design was inspired by the paper products I bought for the party.

without a tip

It's 10.32pm and I just got done with the birthday cake for the boys....well I am not quite done as I could not find my grass tip! I really want the grass tip and not other tips (ofcourse I could have done something else), so now I will be off to the cake supply store or craft store to purchase one (what I mean is tomorrow...duh) and then get that finished with so i can take a picture and upload to this site. One tip though: for a nice smooth finish of your icing use a VIVA paper towel...amazing what this product can do!

Flowers in a pot!

I am not satisfied with this totally and will work on making this look better. I made teeny cupcakes with some leftover batter, and therefore I had to make something with them!!! This will most probably go to Jamila's theatre art teacher as she will be tired by this weekend from the production that is taking place in her school (btw - she got a part in the play). Cheers to the teacher as she has to bloom a lot of flowers in her pot!!
