So last night was the Roller Derby Holiday Party. One of the best times I’ve had out lately. I also got to surprise everyone with the Skate Cake I made for the occasion. Everyone seemed to love it. Went into detail on the derby skate, made the logo made sure the wheels were even edible etc. I love how it came out and I felt really proud and accomplished presenting this and seeing everyone’s reactions. I was really happy that not only did they love how it looked but also how it tasted!

So my friend’s girlfriend asked me to please make her boyfriend a cake for his 26th birthday. He’s a very big football fan so she wanted a football cake for him. Originally she was going to buy a cake mold for it but I told her I knew how to make it without a mold.

I am really happy with the outcome of the cake. I really felt acomplished being able to carve the cake myself and not need a mold to give it the shape. Also the board came out really nice; made it part of a football field and even put a pylon at the goal line. We even wrote his name in the endzone.

I didn’t get to see him at the party since I was at practice ( i finished making the cake, delivered it then went to practice for derby), But from what I hear he really really drunkenly loved the pylon.

So I realised I never posted pictures of the cupcakes I made for my sister’s birthday. I decided to make owl cupcakes and they were a blast. I loved making them and they tasted great. Here is a picture of them. Tonight I have to start baking my football cake and I’ll carve/ice/decorate it tomorrow before I deliver it. Should be fun and I’m going unmold so let’s test my carving talents a bit shall we!

So my logo is finished and I have to just say thank you so much to Rei for helping me and creating this and the other picture for me (both are going to be used on the webpage).

I feel like i’m becoming such a professional now and that I really have a business. I’m not just some chick who bakes in her home for her friends.

So in a couple of weeks I have a cake due for the Long Island Roller Rebels Awards Dinner. Very excited I’m making a Roller Derby skate cake. I also think I’m going to make cupcakes to go with it since the cake might not feed everyone. The cupcakes will also have the logo on them.

Otherwise I found a great site where I can buy my supplies wholesale and not spend all the profit. I found that going to like AC Moore or Michaels has been doing this to me since it’s very costly since I need alot of things such as fondant, stands, tools etc.  I’m also hoping that I have my business cards done by the party so that I can hand those out as well. I’m also planning on sponcering the team and perhaps getting more orders from the girls and their family and friends. I love roller derby and I’ve been on the team for 3 months now. So if free please click on teh link for the long island roller rebels and see what we’re all about please.

So I was asked recently to make a Mario theme cake and decided to go with the Mario Mushroom. I used rice crispies for the top and cake for the rest. I covered the entire cake in fondant. I really had a blast with this cake and apparently the people who orderered the cake loved it so much they asked that next year I make the Mario Bomb for them.

So for my niece’s 1st Birthday I made her a cake that looked like a duck. Originally I wanted to make a 3-D cake however the recipe that I used in the mold was too dense and therefore didn’t rise enough to get both sides of the duck. So i thought ok i’ll make another duck and just put the two together, well the other cake recipe (which from now on i’m using for wedding cakes and have used in the past). Both cakes tasted good mind you but the other had more rise so I used that for the one sided ducky cake (it was also bigger). Melissa and Iacopo loved the cake, in fact everyone loved it. Here is a pic of the cake and also one of the birthday girl
