here's a recap of a few birthday cake requests I've had since the beginning of the year. I'm more than willing to try something new so love when I get a specific request.
march:
"something with peanut butter and chocolate"
my dear friend mima usually only requests this combo (who could blame her?!) although the cake collapsed a bit while cooling it was easy to hide. Will definitely try this one again!
Barefoot Contessa's Beatty's chocolate cake, peanut butter icing with a chocolate and peanut butter ganache. garnished with bronze edible crunch from Waitrose
may:
while it wasn't a birthday..or a cake I was putting together for this time, it was so much fun prepping these sweet thank yous for the first bachelorette/hen, of the group!
june:
"a large cupcake cake"
for my sweet friend kitty's birthday I made as requested and all i can say is 'phew' when the cake came out of the pan easily! (Grease well with butter then dust lightly with flour)
I mixed the tiniest bit of rose water to the buttercream frosting which complemented the rich chocolate cake and chocolate frosting. I had fun experimenting with different piping techniques and voilà, giant cupcake cake! no arguing over cake for this birthday girl and boy!
july:
"whatever you think!"
busy mom of two is getting ready for the second round of 'first birthdays'. having friends with little ones means i can test out cute character cakes such as this one! can't wait for the next one to turn 4!
hummingbird bakery chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.. chocolate eyes and Cadbury fingers for antlers

august:
i don't even need to ask the august princess-i'll be creating another (but slightly different of course) red velvet treat. stay tuned!
