Look at My Fancy Balls!

Expecting something different? Dirty minds... 

Anyways, although I didn't post the next day, I did make these the day after my last post... Just had a hectic schedule and no time to post :( 


Check out my balls! Cake balls, that is. I used the leftover pieces of the french vanilla cake and my leftover strawberry cake (since there wasn't enough french vanilla cake...) and mixed them with some dulce de leche. Rolled them into balls, rolled them in unsweetened coconut flakes and put them in the fridge to harden (side note: every time I read the word "harden", I think of.... METAPOD! :P )


The sauce that goes with my cake balls is a mango and pineapple puree. I took fresh mango and pineapple, chopped them up, then blended them. Then I put the blended mix through a strainer so I didn't end up with any chunks. Mixed the puree with some lime juice for a bit of zest and to soften up the puree, and voila! Coconut covered cake balls with mango/pineapple puree :) 

Very simple and something to do with all my leftover cake! 

I should have another post up this weekend, so look forward to it!! :)

MUDKIPZ!

Image
You read that title right. This cake is going to be a Mudkip from Pokemon. If you don't know what it is, then here is a picture of it below.  Look, a Mudkipz! So for this lovable little guy, I started off with Funfetti Cake Mix :)  Then I shaped the larger cake into the main head of Mudkip and the smaller cake into the head-fin thingie... Of course, I was told this looks more like a turtle with a huge head...  Add the blue fondant for the skin tone.  Then I rolled out my orange and pink fondant for his mouth and his.. umm... cheek flaps? Hehe, it looks like he's drooling... Why it looks like that is because I use water to stick the fondant to the fondant. Very easy and water is definitely edible :)  Now because of limitations on time, I was sleepy and I was babysitting while baking this, I just used black frosting for the details and marshmallows pieces for the white eye part... I'm tired, so my vocabulary is very limited right now.

Sopheria's 2nd Birthday!

Image
My baby is already 2 years old!!! T_T Where does the time go??? Anyways, for the theme of this party, I picked Sophie's favorite character at the moment (besides Elsa, I'm so over Frozen right now...) ....MICKEY & MINNIE! Who doesn't love a Disney birthday??  Since her actual birthday was a week before her birthday party, I made her two cakes (she is two years old after all!). I'm experimenting with the mirror glaze frosting (gelatin chocolate mix) and decorated one cake with candy balls and the other with food spray to see how it works with the glaze.  They both came out pretty cute I think :) A very easy, fast and neat way to cover a cake, I must admit.  There's the birthday girl!  Still blowing out those candles hehe Now time for the birthday party!  Sophie had gone apple & pumpkin picking with her daycare, so I decorated her little pumpkin for her :)  And the back!  I didn't really have too much time to

Birthday Cake Time! YAY!

Image
So there are birthdays today and as requested by my coworkers, I baked a cake for one of my other coworkers. She happens to share a birthday with one of the coolest peoples I know, BCD! So in dedication to them both, I made this cake. Sadly, only my coworker will be able to taste it since BCD is so far away!! :(  The cake is devil's food. Mmmmmm, chocolate... topped with vanilla frosting.  So the green frosting is to represent grass I guess.... if you're curious as to what the heck is in the middle, it's a plate with a salad on top and fruit snacks. Why? Well, it's well known at my work that this particular coworkers HATES fruits in salads. She thinks it's weird. So like the nice person I am, I put it on her cake so she's forced to eat it!! BWAHAHA!!  These are my little cupcake animals. Now, from the size of the plate, these animals are actually the size of mini cupcakes. That white blob over there is supposed to be a sheep. When I cut the ma
