My Brother is getting Married!

So my brother is getting married June 2nd and I am making the cake!  I'm actually nervous about making this cake! After all it is a very special day for them and I everything has to be perfect!  The pressure is on!
I need to learn how to make awesome flowers! get the perfect red velvet cake recipe!! yumm!

We are taking a trip tomorrow with all the girls to look for the wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses and I have put on a few pounds (probably from all the cake tasting)   I probably won't even fit into any of the dresses so that is even more stressful!  I have so much stress and planning and it is not even my wedding!!! 

Well... I'm confident that everything will turn out fine! I will post some pictures of the cake and the actual wedding!  I hope I don't forget to hit the record button this time! :)

Coorsl Light Cake

A co-worker that is a friend of mine asked if it was possible to make a Coors Light Cake for a special ocassion!  and even though I never made one before I went for it because after all that is how I'm learning!  I can honestly say that it is one of the easiest cakes that I have ever made!  I loved the result!  and I don't know if I have ever mentioned this before but I work for a Recycling Company and I have for a long time, so I deffinetly had to put CA CRV on the can!

I made six 10" round Chocolate cakes and stacked them up with Mocha Buttercream Frosting, then I cut a small edge all the way down and laid the cakes down, then I covered with Gray Fondant that I made with a little drop of Black on white Fondant, when cake was all covered.. I brushed on eddible shimmer dust, I didn't have silver dust so I actually used Pearl dust but I liked the result.  I'm learning :)

With every cake I make I learn a new technique!  :0)

Bird Cake

I had a request from a friend to make this cake and even though I thought it was too simple... if I would have added any more detail to it, it would've been too much!

It was for this addorable little girl named Lila that was turning 1

BabyShower

I have a co-worker that is due any minute now actually!  Her last week of work we planned a surprise baby shower for her... I made the cake! and since she is having a girl!

I made the cake on a Sunday and it was supposed to be for Monday! So I usually post the cakes on Facebook as soon as I finish them but I didn't want to post this one because I knew she would see it and immediately know that it was for her (she's the only pregnant one).  The next morning, when I got to work someone told me that Jessica (that's her name) was going to be late so it was perfect... I didn't have to sneak in the cake! :)  everyone like the cake and were taking pictures of it which I enjoyed!  I didn't even think about someone else posting it!  Well they did... and the surprise was ruined!  Well NOT ruined but it was no longer a surprise!

Proposal

Feb 2012.  So my 31 year old brother asks me for a big favor... he wants to know if I can make him a surprise cake for his girlfriend Yohana! I said... "SURE" what theme should I make it??? He said I want it to be a proposal cake with a Ring!!!  After he picked me up from the floor and splashed my face with cold water and I came to my sense... I agreed to do it! Ok, Ok... the passing out part didn't really happen, but I was in Shock!!!

A day before her birthday, my brother came over to help and we started the cake!

This is how it turned out:

and after all that work, guess what she had the nerve to say!!!

She had the Nerve to say...

YES!  :)

Funny and true story but the proposal... we closed the little gift box so that it just liked like a little gift! and it had a little Happy Birthday Sign next to it!  so that when she opened it it she would see the ring and the bottom of the lid said "will you mary me?"

so i had the front seat the best seat.. i had my camera out and started recording early because i didn't want to miss any reaction...  when it wasl all going on (the proposal) i was recording everything and was thinking that i had the best video and that i was going to make my brother beg for it!!!

when it was all over and i stoped recording! My camera STARTED RECORDING!!!!!

It turns out that i never hit Record!   :(  Oh well... I could've showed you guys a video!
