Another Treasured Cakes creation...a cake for my friend, Lisa, to take with her to her new husband's family's Thankgiving dinner. It's not incredibly fancy, but I'm betting it was pretty darn tasty. Her only request was that it be a chocolate cake and the rest was up to us. It's an 11" x 15" sheet cake w/buttercream icing. I wanted to put 'Happy Thanksgiving' on it with fondant letters but Ashley thought that would be a little cheesy so I didn't. I did like the colors though and I do think it turned out well given the time constraints. I think I'll go ahead and purchase the letter molds for future cakes but for this one, I think I'm satisfied that it came out as well as it did. Check it out and see what you think.
A big FYI to all. The Treasured Cake webite is up and running. Obviously it's a work in progress and will be as long as we're adding cakes to it. Check it out at www.treasuredcakes.com and send your friends there as well. And remember, if you're looking for a cake for a special someone, ask us and we'll try to accomdate you. We don't have the price list up yet, but stay tuned and it'll be up soon as well.
....for a real live person (meaning it wasn't a practice cake for class). This particular cake was created especially for a terrific lady and my good friend Cathy, to celebrate her recent birthday. It was designed to represent a gift box with bow and name tag. As I hear it, it was a hit and quite delicious.
I am a mom of 2, a grandmom of 7, a daughter, a niece, a big sister, a cousin and a friend to many. I love to cook and my newest passion has become baking and decorating cakes. I also love to travel. I get to do more cooking than traveling but have included some of both here along with lots of other stuff. This blog is about sharing some of the things I do and those that I do it with with family and friends. I appreciate you checking in and hope you will feel free to share your comments with me.
