busy as a bee

We've been busy the last couple of weeks, making cheesecakes and red velvet cakes.  we made a few specialty items.  we have a couple of pictures. 

these cookes were made for a retiring artist. I think they came out great.  our client loved them too. 

The other was a cupcake pull apart cake for a dance school.  The theme was that's entertainment.    I think this came out great for being a last minute decision.  This was one of those endeavors where nothing seems to work out right.  It was supposed to be a complet square  (like a stage) with a marquee in the middle of "That's Entertainment" (we discovered that the food coloring started to bleed into the rest of the colors, then we had little pieces of pastiage with stars and film and camera's and megaphones and movie tickets.  thos made it.  After we started and it didn't quite work out the way we wanted it to. Chef joe said hey why don't we make the cake like on giant Clapper Board. so we did and it worked out damn good.

 this last picture is the extra cupcake that was presented to the Owner of the Dance school. (she's made out of modeling chocolate).  We were very happy that the chocolate held up so well.  ( the temperature was in the high 80's to low 90's with a lot of humidity).

We can't wait to fill the next order, because we love showing off our stuff.  Until then, we're trying to stay cool while our ovens stay hot.
