The biggest cookie you've ever seen!?

Ta. da! 


So today was all about having just random fun at work.  I honestly didn't have the get up and go mentality to decorate today.  After all it is the day after "Cinco De Mayo"!  For those of you who aren't a white people minority in your state, Cinco De Mayo is the day that Mexico celebrated it's independance.  It's also a day that allows all of us to drink alcohol to our heart's content.  Here in Arizona we all take part, even if were not mexican.  Anyways, lets continue with the cake.


Not really cake, but omg is that not the biggest brownie you've ever seen?  I had to ice 5 of these suckers today, my hands were hurting by the time I was done.  The brownies were soo awesome though!  If you live here in Arizona I would highly suggest you go buy a brownie single serve!!  



And for the icing on the cake, so to speak...  We had a customer come in right around noon asking for a wedding cake to be made.  We let her see the book and talk prices and when we were done discussing the options, she asked "So do you need 24 hours notice for a wedding cake?"  Haha I almost died.. I was giving the lady the "are you serious!?" look


Sure enough we ended up making the cake for the lady.. the cake is unfilled and as basic as a cake can get.  For $150 and 45 minutes of labor, I think Albertson's made out like a bandit when they robbed this lady.  Or I guess Albertson's robbed the state of Arizona since she paid for the cake with Food Stamps  :D

Have a great weekend!!! See you monday

Mission Impossible:CAKE IMPOSSIBLE!

When did it become okay to order a cake at last minute? Did I miss the memo?!?! In the past 3 days I have completed nine last minute cake orders.. most of them to be completed within 10-20 minutes. I almost feel like Robert Irvine in "Dinner Impossible" when he's trying to complete an amazing event in an impossible amount of time. I've had customers ask for a few rediculous cake orders, one for example was a customer who wanted a 3-tier Fairytopia cake and they wanted the cake in 2 hours.  Even if I didn't have that much to do, I still would have told the customer no, and in fact I did tell the customer no.  I hate to turn down the extra money, but I just can't decorate under intense pressure like that.  In my last blog I talked about my ability to decorate cakes fast, but those cakes are just so basic that even 4-5 minutes for a basic double layer cake isn't unheard of. Now for the icing on the cake (so to speak): I had a customer come in yes

Vanilla Ice Ice Baby

Who says your birthday cake has to be warm?  Last time I checked it's just starting to heat up, and that generally means everything must be cold...  Iced tea, iced soda, cold showers, and cold cake?  Psssh, why not just go with the new American fad, the ice cream cake. Sure you could always go with a basic crappy Carvel ice cream cake, but why not take it up a notch and get an awesome cake from Cold Stone Creamery.  I try not to be the advertising guru for them, but they really deserve the attention.  Cold stone has a variety of ice cream, everything from the basic Vanilla to the Cake batter ice cream. If you haven't tried the cake batter ice cream, then I suggest you find the nearest cold stone and sample it.  mmmm yum I know that Ice Cream isn't really a cake product, but it's definitely earned its right to be called that at cold stone creamery.  For the hefty price tag of almost double a grocery store's prices you too can have a tasty birthday treat.

5 Minutes to sugar heaven

I totally spaced my monday blog...  I'll make it quick and fun :) Cupcake porn? The almighty cupcake makes it's return to the blog scene.. I've been playing around with some new flavors of cupcakes, flavor combinations like Chocolate strawberry decadence (chocolate cupcake filled with strawberry filling topped off with a poured dark chocolate).  I also have the White cupcake filled with strawberry filling, a layer of thin sliced banana's all topped off with whip cream and coconut shavings.  I've had a really hard time finding a name for that last one, so if you can come up with something... by all means let me know  :D   Pictures soon to come!!!  It's strawberry season so lets experiment
