Cookie Cutters

                                               I have a whole Bunch of Cookie Cutters! =)

This is all of them, there is a container in the back of cookie cutters, I just bought them, but took them back. I found a set with more for the same price at a different store.

Hi!
I posted a few pics on Cake Central's web site. So far I have posted the Wonder Pets cakes, the Frogs, and Purple Elmo. =) Maybe people will add my pics to their Fav's!

More Rolls!

I made 10 pumpkin Rolls in 3 hours today. I feel like a factory hahaha. They smell SO good! I hope I get to the rest of what I want to do today. I made sugar cookie dough Friday, and would like to try out my new cookie cutters I got. Hubby wants a HoHo roll too, that should be easy tho, I just have to go get the insides. Plus I have a few stops to make! I better get crackin!!

Apple Cake

My friend's mom gave me a recipe for apple cake, mmmm. I thought I bought Gala apples, but when I got home all 4 were Red Delicious. It's very moist!

Happy Birthday Sis in Law

Her B-day was November 13th. She wanted another Elmo cake. Hubby and I thought it would be cool if we made him in her favorite color...purple! (It looks blueish, but it really was purple)

And now I'm back to having excess frosting! lol

New cookie decorations

                                            Hubby bought me new sprinkles for cookies!!

                     I am looking on CopperGifts.com at all the fun decorating supplies they carry.

New Cookies

                        We went to Clarksburg, West Virginia in September for their Annual Italian Festival:

They were selling these cookies that looked like waffles. (My cousin had them at her wedding in August)

My Aunt said they are called Galettes. So her sister gave me the recipe. They were not as good as they were when we had them at the wedding, so I'll have to retry them.

                                               See they really do look like small waffles.

still more xtra frosting

So after the Wedding, and after Rachel's house, I STILL had more frosting. So I made cupcakes for Hubby to take to work.

It's all gone...for now.

xtra frosting- Rachel's House

After the wedding cake, I had a ton of frosting left. So I made cupcakes for a jewelry party I went to on Nov 7th. The hostest mixed my cupcakes with hers on this Nifty cupcake stand she had. I only have pics of mine before I left for her house. I told her they were not fancy and she laughed at me...lol. All I did was fill a bag and put a star tip on it.

Christmas Music in Cleveland

Just in case anyone was wondering, WMVX 106.5 in Cleveland is already playing Christmas Music and has been for a WEEK. Not just a few songs, continuous...I think they are trying to beat out WDOK 102.0 because they too play continuous Christmas Music, but not til the week of Thanksgiving usually. Just thought I'd let you know...

Finally!!!

I know, I made everyone wait in suspense for these pics to post. Enjoy!!
They weren't as level as I would have hoped for, but I don't make them often. I don't have a picture of it fully assembled because we were worried about the cake falling over, we didn't want any disasters!

My work room

Hubby cleaned up the spare bedroom upstairs for me to be able to work on this cake and have lots of space. We found a 6 foot folding table on sale, too.  =)  Thanks Hubby!! You are the bestest!

Roses for Wedding Cake

 

There were a total of about 18 roses, not all were put on the cake, that I am aware of, but I sent them all with Joyce when she picked up the cake on 11/05/2010.

First Birthday cake

I used the Jumbo Wilton Cupcake Pan for this 1st Birthday cake.

Big Wilton Pumpkin Pan

I had an extra box of Dark Chocolate Cake mix so I thought I'd use it for this cake...you can't even tell I didn't color in the eyes, nose or mouth!! LOL You can also Make a Jell-O pumpkin. Maybe next year...

November 9th

Happy Birthday to me!!


Yes, I used a whole post just to say it was my Birthday...just because I can.  :)

Small Pumpkin Cakes

 This was one of the Wilton pans I got in West Virginia for super cheap. The Wilton Pumpkin Pan indents the face into the cake, not that you can really tell in these pics, so I added some eyes on a few.

5 pumpkin rolls

I finally made my next batch of Pumpkin Rolls! I figured I better because I already have 5 to make for Thanksgiving! That's only for 2 people! =)

Halloween Meat Pies

Here was dinner the week of Halloween. I got the recipe from Taste of Home Magazine.



Look! They are little pumpkins!





I made one that looks like Shrek!



It's delivered!

Well not quite delivered, Joyce and her hubby came and picked up the cake. I had to send it in 2 pieces because the top was wobbly and I didn't want there to be any disasters. I told them how to plop the top onto the bottom. I also sent extra roses...just in case.

The best part is that I might be making Cassata cakes for them now too!!! =) Love it!!

Check back for pics soon!!

I wish I had a picture of it all put together...maybe I can photo shop the pics that I have...too bad I don't know how to, lol.

It's Done!!

=)
So I finished my Checklist. The cake will be picked up tonight. The only thing left is to stack the two smaller tiers onto the large one, then add roses to the middle tier. I hope to get pics up this weekend! =) Let me just tell you...I'm SO glad we get an extra hour of sleep this weekend!!!

Wait til you see my workshop! I feel like Santa lol.

Tier Cake

Status Check:
*Only did 2 more roses...the piping bags keep blowing out on me.
*Baked the bottom tier
*Filled and Frosted the top 2 tiers

Next Steps:
Hopefully make more flowers
Fill and Frost the bottom tier
Construct internal structures
Make boarders around the bottoms of all tiers

Since all of the baking is complete, I should be able to complete these tasks...especially if I get out of work again by 4:30...that was sweet!

Almost done....I think

Tier Cake

I still only have 9 roses...got home late...what else is new. I hope to get more done tomorrow because I won't have to worry about dinner. I did however get the first 2 tiers baked and cooled. This way I will be able to torte and frost them tomorrow while I am baking the bottom tier. I also made the butter cream frosting for in between the tiers. Done for right now!

Tier Cake

All the pans are prepped. (parchment is cut out and ready to be sprayed)
Nine roses are made, however they aren't fondant, they are icing. I couldnt get the right color and it kept drying out and cracking. That's about it for right now...keep checking back for updates.

Tier Cake all over again

I'm getting ready at my second attempt at a 3-tier wedding cake...Wish me luck!! We are cleaning and making room tonight. I will hopefully be practicing making flowers after dinner. The color is a fall orange. I can't remember which tiers I used last time. I think it was a 12-8-6 in round. I sure hope so! I have a 10 inch round but the paper is still in it...so one would assume I did NOT use that one. I'll keep you posted!

October 2010 Vacation

I was on vacation and I baked, go figure. I made a few new recipes. These came from the 2009

Taste of Home Best Loved Cookies and Bars Magazine.

On the left are the Apricot Cream Cheese Drops, page 25

On the right are Thumbprint cookies, page 53, I can see where these would be very pretty for the Holidays

Both were very yummy!
