Video's, Recipes, and Cake's oh my!

Some new stuff is in the works still... although i'm not sure exactly when i'm going to start them.  I guess it would have been easier just to say that i'm going to start making video's.  Who knows exactly when it's all gonna start to work together.  

In the past couple of weeks since I last blogged it has been incredibly slow at the shop.. well kind of.  We attended an event called "Annapalooza" where Palate Pleasers was one of six food vendors.  We offered good food at the regular markup prices at an event...  Sadly we walked away with a lot of food that hadn't been used.  On the dessert side of the event we had only two varieties of cupcakes, chocolate and carrot, and only three choices of icing.  


Overpriced, or possibly just a lack of hungry people kept them from buying a lot of our 1,000 cupcakes.  By the time people did finally start to get hungry it was so late in the evening that there just wasn't enough time to push the remaining 800.  Oh well, we still had a great time... saw some really amazing local bands that I never knew existed.  When I say local band, i'm not talking about high school kids who want to try and make it big..  but real bands that are trying to make a name for themselves.


On a final note, I just want to put it out there that i'm finding it hard to meet a specific goal for blogging on select days.. so i'm just gonna blog when I have something to write about.  Otherwise it feels like a homework assignment from a teacher.

Have a great labor day weekend, be safe!

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
