Costco-esque



Doesn't it seem like thirty is the real birthday for crossing over to 'adulthood,' more so than eighteen...or is that just me?  Anyway, as part of my birthday present to my husband I promised a "minimal" mess in the kitchen, which let's be honest is 80% of the perk of ordering a cake--no mess! 

But since there wouldn't be any super-dazzlingly-decorated-awesomeness, that meant I had to rock the taste. My husband likes cake as much as the average person but isn't a cake-aholic and since he's tried a lot (probably too many) of mine, it's a big deal when he comments on a good cake. So the only cake I can remember him really really liking, besides mine, was Costco's chocolate cake (although I've got to say the cake itself is pretty dry).

It's really hard to surprise someone with a cake who lives at your house so my husband knew and got to give input on what he wanted.  He likes the Costco cake but the one thing in particular he wanted different was a little lighter icing. So the filling was nice and RICH and fudgy and the icing was a lighter although, still rich chocolate italian meringue buttercream. Chocolate comas were induced!

This cake was fun because one, it was a repeat customer--love that. And reason number two, the woman who ordered it spent a lot of time coming up with things that were significant to her husband, from his alma mater down to the logo of the place they met! I hope it made a special birthday that much more enjoyable. :)

This was a 6" white and an 8" chocolate, both with cookies'n'cream filling.

The Island of Misfit Toys





A good friend asked me to do a cake for her daugther's school fundraiser auction, the fundraiser theme was "The Island of Misfit Toys." My three year old loved watching Rudolph several time while I did my 'research.' :) It was just the thing to get me into holiday mode! It was a 10" chocolate cake with strawberry italian meringue buttercream.
