Monster Truck Cake

2013-05-16T12:30:48-05:00

Here is the cake i made for christophers bday. He’s 2 tomorrow!

This was a pain in the arse cake. I use the mirette tomboy cake in a 7x3 pan. I thought hmm…divide in 2 or 3…decided 2 would work. Then, i realized it wasn’t tall enough to look like a monstertruck tire with 2 layers only, so i needed to add height. I thought hmm..buddy always add rice krispy treats to his cakes…but i had only fruity pebbles. So i made fruit pebble marshmallow treats and added an extra 2 inches to the height of the cake and covered it with fondant.
ARFH!!
no one will eat this cake but me and my husband and the kids, so i didnt measure the treads like i should of.

Mothers Day Cake

2013-05-14T08:57:40-05:00

Hello Everyone,
I have been MIA for a while now. A LOT has been going on im my little world
My caking days have been a bit simpler and not so much to do, since I have a bun in the oven ( After trying & praying for almost 11 years - we are finally going to have our first baby this Summer) Cant you tell how excited I am?

Anyway, I made quite a bit of Mothers’ Day Cakes for an order. They were all the same, just different colors.

Cake is yellow butter cake
Buttercream filling and frosting and buttercream roses.

Lemon curd and kumquat cheesecake

2013-05-06T03:57:51-05:00

I made this cake for Cinco de Mayo celebration with coworkers and everyone was very impressed! I must say that looking at it makes me very happy—reminds me of the bright flowers of spring.

Candied kumquat and orange blossom water cheesecake; biscuit de Savoie base (soaked with 1/4 c. Frangelico and of course more liquid from the cheesecake), lemon curd topping; candied kumquat, candied lemon, and candied clementine roses garnish. Lavender stems from the garden.

Sorry this is not baking, but I made it :)

This is my very first attempt to make homemade Mozzarella cheese.. it is a lot easier than I thought..

I have room for improvement..

Open-Faced Designer Apple Pie

2013-05-09T11:50:46-05:00

Made this several months ago and haven’t had a chance to post. This is Open-Faced Designer Apple Pie from PPB. It uses Rose’s cream cheese pie crust - my favorite. I also love how pretty this pie. It’s pretty much the only apple pie I made and have made it several times (lost count ). The leaf cutouts are made by hand and it takes a while to do but I love doing it and love the results. I brought it to a gathering at a friend’s house and everyone loved it - as you can see from my friend’s thumbs up .

Deep Choco Passion Cakes and Strawberry Rhubarb Tart

2013-05-05T18:07:09-05:00

Our stores had the first rhubarb of the season this weekend, and it got me so excited about the approaching pie season that I couldn’t resist making a strawberry-rhubarb tart. It had been my favorite of the rhubarb pies that I made last year. This one was made with the cream cheese flaky crust, according to the recipe in the Pie/Pastry Bible.

Cocoa Brownies

2013-05-03T07:01:35-05:00

Hi Rose and all, Tried baking your Cocoa Brownies from Rose’s Christmas Cookies book today. The center of the brownies rise up higher and cracked, and could not bake evenly. The center was baked only after 55 mins (on 160C). By the time the center of the brownies is baked, the sides are over baked. Would you/anyone please help to provide some suggestions?
