Holy Sneaker

Maybe LeBron James will see this and decide to buy an edible version of his shoe from us.
I think it's a pretty good idea.

The Collapsing Slot Machine

Ok so the title of this post is "The Collapsing Slot Machine." This my friends is not a good thing. The cake was made for thanksgiving night for my dear friend Jen. She ordered it for her mom's birthday that they were celebrating on Thanksgiving. Now, Mandy my wonderful baking partner left me to go see her family for the holidays. This cake was top heavy. We never had a cake that had to stand up like this before and I did not build the structure correctly. My mom helped me do it Thanksgiving eve and we were up until 3am. I got a phone call at 8am her screaming into my ear that the cake collapsed. NOT GOOD! Jen was on her way to pick it up in a couple of hours. I had my whole family trying to figure out a way to fix the cake and it was just not happening. I had to give it to her lying on its back. Big disappointment. It was a terrible feeling. We learned so much from this cake. 
i hope this never happens again!
Lessons! 
-Allow more time to decorate a cake! 
-Make sure we can build a solid structure before agreeing to a client! 
-Move on and learn from the experience!
-Make a spectacular cake for Jennifer's 25th birthday that will make her forget about this one! BAH!

Sweet 13!

For this cake we actually didn't come up with the design. Our client gave us a picture of what her daughter wanted for her birthday. The 13 is covered in edible glitter! We also couldn't resist adding the diamonds to the cake! The girls loved it! You can see the icing on the top layer, we have learned to keep the cakes in the fridge instead of having them out the whole time we are working on them. This keeps the icing hard and stops it from bulging out of the fondant and making indents. No good!!

Sugar leaves & chocolate cake!

This cake was made for one our co-workers aunts.
We used the airbrush machine to color the gumpaste leaves.
We finally got to use it, they sent the thing without a part. They were pretty quick about sending it to us. It works awesome! If your looking for a beginner kit here is the link!   airbrush kit
