SB 1070.. Why Arizona! WHY!?

Recently we've seen changes in Arizona state law.. i'm sure you all know what i'm talking about, SB 1070. I do find it kind of funny that even though we are trying to fight immigration, grocery stores are doing just the opposite. Stores like Fry's food, and Albertson's LLC are catering to the mexican's now more than ever before. Behold the tres leche cake and it's triumphant return to all Albertson's stores near you!

Tres Leche directly translates to "three milk", obviously named for the content of the cake. If you've never had a tres leche cake, it is a spongecake doused with a sweet cream, filled with Bavarian cream, and iced with whip cream. It's an extremely rich and moist cake and i'm sure that you will love it. The picture above and below are examples of the tres leche cake that I made.

If the cakes weren't enough, we now have a new racial profiling section in our store. Pinata's, religious candles, pinto beans and rice bins, hot sauce, etc...

Fry's food has just begun their second renovation to turn one of their 30 million dollar stores into a Fry's Marcado which will cater to Mexican families. The store will feature groceries, prepared foods, seven shops that will sell clothing, shoes, hats, bridal gowns, cd's, jewelry, a restaurant, and a medical clinic. Oh yay.. it's like a Mexican Wal*Mart...

Don't mess with the Mexican buying power haha!

I am flying to Maryland tomorrow morning for a pre-moving visit where I hopefully land a job. I also plan on having a great 4 day weekend with that amazing guy!! On that note, there might not be a blog on Monday but only time will tell. Have a great weekend everyone, see you next Thursday.

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.

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

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
