We celebrated with a dinner party at our house for our favorite moms. It was a squeeze but a tonne of fun! #smallhousebigparty!<br />
<br />
I am a huge Kate Spade fan, and decided that mothers day is a great time to celebrate all things girly!<br />
<br />
I had a great time crafting for the party, my favourite craft was the mini balloon letter cake toppers! check these out...<br />

The cake turned out pretty good too! It was a classic sponge cake (super easy, 8 eggs, 1 1/4 cup sugar and 1 1/4cup flour, beat the sugar and eggs till frothy then fold in the flour. Bake at 350 for 25-30 mins) with buttercream and fresh fruit. I also made a sweet cream and raspberry icecream to go with it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another super easy, and cheap craft with high impact is the tissue paper tassels that you see pretty much everywhere. </div>

<br />
I choose light pink (since that was the table cloth I had on hand.. read: borrowed from my Mom) and added in the bold black and white graphic prints and then tried my hand at the mixed metal trend. I have a few copper things on hand, brass candle sticks and my china has a silver on it. The table runner? wrapping paper from the dollar store! same with the paper on buffet!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also printed out a few Kate Spade quotes and put them in dollar store frames that I painted silver/copper and gold. They said things like "She leaves a trail of glitter wherever she goes" and added a cute talking point at the table.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Instead of buying two bouquets for the Mom's, I split up a few little bouquets and put the flowers in my copper mugs that I got for Christmas from my MIL and a few beer bottles that I spray painted silver. Overall it really added to the girly-ness of the table.<br />
<br />
But my favorite part.... the bow napkins!<br />

The second cool grooms cake for the week! This will be a short post, but a neat one! My cousin got married last April (almost a year ago! Happy Almost 1 year Anniversary!) and she asked for a grooms cake that looked like her now husbands car!<br />

She sent me a picture and I did my best! I think it turned out pretty good... but the next time I make a car cake I'm going to do it more like the Millennium Falcon, I would build a wood base and decorate the car around it, so it looks more like the wheels are supporting the car.<br />

It has been a crazy, busy and wonderful year! I got married last summer, and although that in no way makes up for my terrible (lack) of blogging efforts, it was a whole bunch of fun! I spend most of my time before the wedding preparing for the wedding. Some people don't like planning their wedding. I LOVED it! Every minute of it. Even though this is a cake blog, indulge me by letting me show a few pictures of all the wedding projects. (although i'll try to keep the craft posts short and sweet!) But today is looking at wedding cakes, more specifically, my wedding cakes!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I made both my cakes before the wedding... some tips if you are making your own wedding cake make it out of Styrofoam. I made the cake the week before, but it settled during the week and got kind of lumpy looking. (forgive me.... when I'm making someone elses wedding cake I do it the day before but this wasn't an option this time!)<br />

I made all the flowers on the cake out of gum paste and the MR & MRS sign was an Easter weekend well spent!<br />
<br />
All the work I did on the wedding cake and the sign was almost (not quite, but almost) pointless... because everyone LOVED the grooms cake! My husband is a pretty big starwars fan so as a surprise I made him a Millennium Falcon grooms cake! It took my mom and I a full weekend (the bachelor party weekend as a matter of fact) to make the cake. We even got to have a bit of an adventure with a jig saw! All in the name of making the great cake!<br />

I ordered the figures on Amazon.... I think the seller was shocked that i was going to take them out of the original packaging! (don't worry.. they aren't collectibles... they were less than 5 bucks each!)<br />

Honestly I LOVE zebra cakes. Love everything about them! big statement and they are not super difficult to make! I used my airbrush a LOT on this cake. It really helped add texture to the red ribbon and made the reds a nice deep red that can take so long to kneed into fondant.<br />

This month I was lucky enough to get to make a wedding cake for a friend from University! Her wedding colours were Navy blue and lime green (so awesome!) and she picked a really cute cake design! </div>

I loved this cake, I got a chance to practice making fondant roses (my poor BF had to listen to "does this look like a rose?" about 100 times) I think they turned out quite well!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This cake was a bit of a challange due to the size of the cake. It had to be assembled on site (I could hardly think the whole drive over I was so worried about the cake!) It was supported using the wilton layer plates and candy sticks as dowels. Each layer had 6 dowels that were measured to the height of the cake, so the cake plates balanced on the dowels. Overall it worked really well. Next layer cake I make I'll take pics of the process and post a tutorial. (I was too focused making the darn thing stay up to take photos!)<br />
<br />
Anyway, That's all for now, Happy baking!Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05243407386006750534noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-981672808353957097.post-23884405576497067802012-09-03T19:33:00.001-07:002012-09-03T19:37:42.736-07:00BLACKJACK! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Phew; Summer is winding down and I finally have a free moment to sit and write out a quick post! (I have a few saved up from the summer that I will get around to this month!) Even as I'm sitting here the dog is whining at the door wanting a walk, so this will just be a quick taste of a really cute cake! </div>

A friend of the Family is turning 21 this weekend and to celebrate he is taking a trip to Sin City with some Friends, we decided that a blackjack cake was the perfect fit for his poker tournament birthday! </div>

<br />
I used edible markers and gum paste to make the cards and the poker chips, drawing out the queen was the funnest part of the cake for me! I had three decks of cards all lined up trying to decide on the most classic looking Queen. (Needless to say my M&M cards with the blue M&M wearing a crown, or the Star Wars, Princess Leia decks didn't make the cut!)<br />

The backs of the cards were decorated with the Birthday boys favourite website, "The Chive" I got quite a few questions from the older generation what the Chive was, my response: "It's like Pinterest for Men, more humor, way less weddings"<br />
<br />
Anyway I've got a really big project coming up this week so its back to the kitchen to bake!<br />

This weeks cake is pretty special to me, it's an engagement cake for a good friend of mine! These love birds met a bar called 'The Billiard Club' so for an engagement cake we thought that a billiard theme cake would be perfect! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsAj6GkKekh0BhHvpwHPpfUpBvx5Yu6EZpMcJQZAyBy-FnXozCmGtj0HFqbmFV99MZfzVen_1dnBpiLuO3oXJP9N2DqYfwIjdB8FRL-um3NdsNSR1lYFwtgrlZKjpCmDMn3g-BtYbs3Nw/s1600/IMG_8036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsAj6GkKekh0BhHvpwHPpfUpBvx5Yu6EZpMcJQZAyBy-FnXozCmGtj0HFqbmFV99MZfzVen_1dnBpiLuO3oXJP9N2DqYfwIjdB8FRL-um3NdsNSR1lYFwtgrlZKjpCmDMn3g-BtYbs3Nw/s640/IMG_8036.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This cake is a Guinness chocolate cake with whipped Baileys frosting and a <a href="http://cakengineer.blogspot.ca/2012/03/chocolate-ganache-tutorial.html">chocolate gnache</a> filling, Yum!<br />
<br />
To make it stand my awesome guy built me a little stand! Here is the base uncovered! (Don't worry... I wrapped it in saran wrap before putting the cake on it!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYIdvNenl-UNPMxFHSmEKlYPO6TH8VwAY4mLdR1JFm8ANHbuyOGbT69E9IxU0JEy6zVMoW8If7bTnCBC9Y3Bt8GAezZM_w2nh1c_Ta0x0IiuYOuSfseviDkmiZw-ZQPDdcUy-q3gm0sj0/s1600/IMG_8026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYIdvNenl-UNPMxFHSmEKlYPO6TH8VwAY4mLdR1JFm8ANHbuyOGbT69E9IxU0JEy6zVMoW8If7bTnCBC9Y3Bt8GAezZM_w2nh1c_Ta0x0IiuYOuSfseviDkmiZw-ZQPDdcUy-q3gm0sj0/s640/IMG_8026.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
I then trimmed the cake and smothered it in bailey frosting!<br />

Anyway... On to the tutorial!<br />
<br />
Here are the things you need:<br />
<br />
8 Ounces Semi Sweet Chocolate<br />
2/3 Cup Cream<br />
2 Tbsp Butter<br />
<br />
Start with your 8 oz of chocolate....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQdCkiV0UUPkdZuvT0Ym0HdZyr0TsJAmloKRn9F7gbsPTMxF2MeSRYqsjDJhGm8OKmOzBQI3wCwSj_2xd4HkY7EDTHjJFXZz26TH5IzpjUilnS6vxF0uxB2TPTlDIPCNIDl5UzRvDimfw/s1600/IMG_7740.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQdCkiV0UUPkdZuvT0Ym0HdZyr0TsJAmloKRn9F7gbsPTMxF2MeSRYqsjDJhGm8OKmOzBQI3wCwSj_2xd4HkY7EDTHjJFXZz26TH5IzpjUilnS6vxF0uxB2TPTlDIPCNIDl5UzRvDimfw/s400/IMG_7740.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> Chop the chocolate finely and put it in a heat proof bowl. (I use my measuring cup... works like a charm!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwN7rqpZP0FNLLmG2jsHf0DlKNui6QrVmexovMEaWpgniDTZOiFDaTYWJUgVK9HbfbfLp9Qk1_qmJjMbDwsVchgbbmLegpI1UwUzoDVXOm0ZnGwyBrIF8ETh8tO-isRAKzm5WBYVMYUs0/s1600/IMG_7741.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwN7rqpZP0FNLLmG2jsHf0DlKNui6QrVmexovMEaWpgniDTZOiFDaTYWJUgVK9HbfbfLp9Qk1_qmJjMbDwsVchgbbmLegpI1UwUzoDVXOm0ZnGwyBrIF8ETh8tO-isRAKzm5WBYVMYUs0/s400/IMG_7741.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> Next heat the cream on medium until it begins to simmer... be careful to not over cook the cream, it will not taste good and the pot will be almost impossible to clean!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiWBpjtsfAjLwGV8aZt9_5ZAvB4OkvksM0OT5Puu1f1a57jrKcXNyupRpPy1KaCxu-7gSZXmD8EY02pU7gM4M5SlGYWXfvTqC3OLS5LWicodyIzSCTRZLlE9mEwl7ING-Q2MLAITEJUwA/s1600/IMG_7743.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiWBpjtsfAjLwGV8aZt9_5ZAvB4OkvksM0OT5Puu1f1a57jrKcXNyupRpPy1KaCxu-7gSZXmD8EY02pU7gM4M5SlGYWXfvTqC3OLS5LWicodyIzSCTRZLlE9mEwl7ING-Q2MLAITEJUwA/s400/IMG_7743.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Once the cream is heated, pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let the cream/chocolate mixture sit for one full minute.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlVXzCJLd4yx3eQyfQUiDB9fwNLqZ-uLTRr-ONTx9loG15idKhp5diCrnSs2YkDjzc4Y_pozYZRC0NMl5KFrXO_MY5ErdlgwcoJAVHRzM-HwfCM_7VUUuvz69R1nVlaLP-KlFyA5B3-ao/s1600/IMG_7744_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlVXzCJLd4yx3eQyfQUiDB9fwNLqZ-uLTRr-ONTx9loG15idKhp5diCrnSs2YkDjzc4Y_pozYZRC0NMl5KFrXO_MY5ErdlgwcoJAVHRzM-HwfCM_7VUUuvz69R1nVlaLP-KlFyA5B3-ao/s400/IMG_7744_2.jpg" width="266" /></a></div> After a minute stir the chocolate and cream until all the chocolate melts. (If you still have some chocolate chunks heat it in the microwave for a couple seconds but watch it closely!)<br />
<br />
Next add you butter and stir to combine...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfj4maC979MHa_wJ3A0OxJy3TtnKPq3UGF0PovZCEhh4LDGOjwHOfpYdiSVoWdpdRpqKMvIyZUo1_YCazDgEMqE1D8PJHao5tpQkTdxtQVXVkx1_NpNkcuQTxbmIXOMYOGoX75RjX4iUY/s1600/IMG_7747_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfj4maC979MHa_wJ3A0OxJy3TtnKPq3UGF0PovZCEhh4LDGOjwHOfpYdiSVoWdpdRpqKMvIyZUo1_YCazDgEMqE1D8PJHao5tpQkTdxtQVXVkx1_NpNkcuQTxbmIXOMYOGoX75RjX4iUY/s400/IMG_7747_2.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br />
Yum... licking the spoon is the best part!<br />

(Oh and some vodka...) it was awesome, I will be making it again for sure.<br />

Last parting party shot... My roommate and his lightsaber attacking my desert table. (We had a good time taking photos with the light saber and the ewok... the poor ewok got stabbed half way thru the night...)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thats no moon.... Its a cake! This cake was a huge challenge for me! I have never made a ball cake before and I think I know how to do it better now, always learning! I think next time I have to use stiffer fondant, my apartment is 1000 degrees so the fondant (and the cake) were melting. The MMF I use was just not up to the job! Next time I'll use gum paste or modeling chocolate and make a candy shell and sit the cake in it. All I have to do now is think up a reason to make another ball cake (Possibly a Snitch for the HP premier?!) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway... back to the Death Star! I wanted to give it the allusion that it was floating so I put it on an upside down clear martini glass! It worked pretty well and I think the photo's turned out well! </div><br />

This cake is almost fondant free, it uses the left over fondant from the girl guides cake. (So I didn't have to make more fondant, YAY!!!)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">DAY 2! Darth Vader Cookies! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So last year I was on a business trip in the states and stumbled upon these cookie cutters at <a href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/star-wars-cookie-cutter/">Williams Sonoma</a>. I loved them and had to have them, they didn't fit in my suitcase but that didn't stop me! I carried them on as my hand luggage! I went back to Williams Sonoma this spring and bought more Star Wars goodies, but more on that later...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Put icing sugar on the counter to prevent the dough from sticking and cut out your cookies! Cook according to your recipe and let cool. Now the fun part... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used royal icing, but buttercream would work as well.

In case you had a hard time figuring that out thats the Star Wars theme song! (read it again while humming the theme... go ahead, I'll wait.... )<br />
<br />
So exciting news! It is STAR WARS WEEK on my blog. no where else. but anyway... I am having a star wars party at my new(ish) apartment and therefore need to bake some star wars sweets! The party is on June 24th. (which, after a quick google search, that is the date of the 34 anniversary of the release of 'A New Hope' in Canada!) so lets get started on Star Wars Week!<br />
<br />
DAY 1.<br />
<br />
Since I am at girl guide camp today and posting this from my tent (wooden cabin) in the rain, lets start with a previously made Star Wars Treat.<br />
<br />
<br />
R2D2! This was made for a school bake sale, since I was in Engineering and 98% of the student body are nerds this was a popular cake! ( we raffled it off as a fundraiser. I then gave a 'technical' talk on making the cake the next semester!)<br />
<br />
I did the making of R2D2 in a previous post, but i'll show it again!<br />
<br />
