Dear Mario

"Dear Mario: Please come to the castle. I've baked a cake for you. Yours truly-- Princess Toadstool, Peach."

Super Mario Bro's! Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 30 years, you would know that the Super Mario Brother's are a household name. Starting from before I was born on the popular video game "Donkey Kong" to his most awesome new game "Super Mario Bro's Wii", Mario has made quite the name for himself and for some odd reason he still hasn't made his way to a DecoPack cake kit. So for now i'll have to rely on making my own

Today was the day that the Super Mario Bro's 1UP mushroom made a comeback, and not just by himself, he also came back with some red health mushrooms and some mini blue cupcakes. He was two layers white cake, two layers chocolate with buttercream icing all around. A pretty basic cake you might say, but it's for a kid's birthday so i'm sure that they are happy just to have an awesome looking cake. I didn't take a picture of the mini blue mushrooms, but if you have a good imagination then you will know what they look like.

This is my fail mario cake... It's not horrible, but it's not nearly as awesome as the new one was. This cake may have been way more stable in size but it also weighed a ton. The little boy that got this cake for his birthday was totally excited, even if it didn't look exactly like the in-game mushrooms. I am looking forward to seeing the customer's facial expression tomorrow when they pick up this new one.

The last of my Mario creations... This one was quite simple to make, a basic half sheet cake designed to look like a Super Mario Bro's World. The toys were provided by the customer, so the only real work I had to do was the design. All of these cakes were priced no higher than $35 dollars... quite the bargain if you ask me. High end cake shops would charge an arm and a leg for something so basic as any of these.

I tell all of our customers to Imagine the impossible and then talk to me, because i'll make it happen for you!

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
