Facebook

Hello Friends,
So, many of you don't know that My Favorite Cake Place has a facebook page too.  If you are a facebook participant, please go to my page and LIKE it, so I can stay in closer contact with you.  I often have extra cupcakes or cake pops after I fill an order and I will offer them super cheap.  It's usually easiest if I can just put a post on facebook and get the info out.  The link is: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/My-Favorite-Cake-Place/125139477513344
I know there are lots of people out there checking out my blog and I don't know who you are.  It would be fun to see your face on My Favorite Cake Place- Facebook Edition!

THANKS!

Class 3

 These are the cakes that 3 of my students made.  Class 3 was all about fondant covering practice and bow making.  I think they left with some beautiful cakes.  We decided we haven't had enough fun yet, so they are going to come back for a 4th class this Saturday.  We'll be having MORE practice, plus an airbrushing demonstration from my brother and I'll have my Cricut cake out for some experimenting. 

This is Eric's finished cake...

 This is Cami's cake...

And this is Ashley's cake...

Not too shabby if I say so myself.  I am so proud of them!

The 80's ROCK

So, I love making cakes, but every once in awhile someone comes to me with a cake idea that I get really excited about.  I am a child of the 80's, so of course I was excited about this one!  It made me nostalgic for my layered neon socks and my pegged jeans.  This is a 7" red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting filling.

A Beautiful Cake

My mom asked for a cake for a friend of hers.  "She deserves something beautiful," she said.  Of course that led me to flowers.  I initially just planned on doing daisies, but as the cake progressed, I thought I'd try out some of my new lily cutters.  This was a 7" chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling.

Class 2

I snapped a few quick pictures at the end of the second fondant class.  I am actually very proud of my "students".  They are learning lots and left with some pretty decent cakes.  I can't wait to see what happens next week!

Nook by Barnes&Noble

This is my cake rendition of the Barnes & Noble's Nook.  I made it for a friend's dad's 60th Birthday, along with a few cupcakes.  There's a few things I'd do differently if I were to make this cake again, but just little things like use different pans (with sharper corners).  It's too bad I can't put a digital touch pad in a cake. 

Last Weekend

 

Business is starting to pick up, which is really nice!  This past weekend I was very busy.  I got to make this really adorable lighthouse cake for a 50th birthday.  They are hard to see, but there are reeds coming out of the cake, and it was just so fun (if I do say so myself).  It's ALL sugar, except for the reeds and the wire on the fence.  

Editors Note:  I just got this from the lovely lady who ordered the lighthouse cake.

Mandy, you are so talented!! The lighthouse cake and cupcakes were a huge hit. Everyone at the party was taking photos of the cake..they couldn't stop talking about it. I have shared your blog address with my friends. That's the best carrot cake we have ever had and those lemon curd cupcakes are my favorite. Thank you so much for moving to Utah. I'll be contacting you again soon for a graduation cake.                  --Vicky

I LOVE feeling the LOVE!

My sister asked me to make this crocheting cake for her good friend.  I love a challenge!  Those balls of yarn weren't easy, but I love the outcome.

The final project for the weekend was 150 cupcakes to celebrate Aurora's 16th birthday, or the final production of Sleeping Beauty at the Lehi Arts Center.  It was a darling production that my family and I were privileged to attend.
