Everyone loves a little blue box....

ENGAGEMENT CAKE

This one was a special request for an engagement. It turned out great. I was so pleased with the color. The groom wanted to put the ring in the cake but it got too much cake on the ring. So we decided against it. I think I have solved that issue for future cakes. Can't wait to make another one.

HOT DOG-GET YOUR HOT DOG

HOT DOG!

It is all cake. The hotdog is made from cake scraps, nuts and honey and color all blended in a food processor and then shaped accordingly. The bun is a pound cake. Super easy.

I took one to an opening day party and people loved it. Although it took awhile before anyone would cut into it. It looks a little bit too real.

YUMMMMMM

This is our family favorite for generations. It is a fluffy semi sweet chocolate cake with seven minute icing. The icing is sort of half way between a meringue and marshmallow. The chocolate on top is bitter sweet which really plays well with the super sweet icing.

Our big debate is always the extract flavor in the icing. I prefer almond but peppermint is good as well. We usually let the birthday person decide thier preference but have been know to flip a coin.

The only problem is that it does not hold well. It is best eaten really fresh and still warm. BUMMER EH!
