Poker Party Dessert Table

I'm just getting around to posting photos from this amazing dessert table that I did for an amazing person's 90th birthday.  It really turned out great and everyone seemed to enjoy the goodies!

  I had a few major design elements to work on for this one, I redesigned the way I am doing my backgrounds, which should make them a little easier to move around from now on.  They are 8 feet long and can get really heavy!  I also designed the reusable cupcake stand to be adjustable and I able to decorate it with custom colors to match the event.  My husband and I were getting the kinks out of that right up until the last minute!

There are four different flavor combinations of cupcakes...and each flavor is identifiable by the "suit".  I piped the diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs out of royal icing.  I was concerned with the taste of those, because very red and very black frosting usually does not taste the best, but I tweaked my royal icing recipe, and these were actually good.

 

The cake pops were done in matching colors, of course!  Birthday Cake, Red Velvet, Pumpkin, and Snickerdoodle.

 I had lots of matching candy on this table as well.  There was red and black licorice, red and black gum balls, candy coated peanuts (Boston Baked Beans), wrapped cinnamon hard candy, mints, red raspberries and blackberries, and red Peanut M&M's.  I ate a lot of those raspberries while I was working on this table!  There are some great websites out there that list candy by color when you are trying to do a table like this. 

 I also made chocolate dipped pretzel sticks in two different colors.

 These truffles are Oreo Cookie flavored.  Looking so nice in their little rows!
 

Thank you to everyone for all of your compliments at the party!  The party was a big success and hopefully I'll get to do a 100th birthday in ten years!

Pink Champagne Cake Truffles for Valentine's Day!

Well, after several attempts at testing recipes and tweaking, I've got the Pink Champagne flavor figured out! 

We will offer these for Valentine's Day as a specialty flavor that you can choose from.

You can order Pink Champagne the rest of the year as well for a custom order, as long as you order at least three dozen of them.  It would be a really great flavor for weddings!

Happy 40th Birthday!

The custom cake truffles that I made for a 40th Birthday surprise party a few weeks ago turned out great!  They were a hit at the party and really looked great on display. There were three different flavors for the birthday girl: Birthday Cake, Ambrosia, and Oreo. 

My original idea was that it would be cute if the "chocolate" ones looked black, but I had to add so much black color to the chocolate to make them look black, that the taste was not good.  You know how bitter it tastes when you have really bright black or red frosting on a decorated cake?  Well same thing.  I am not willing to sacrifice taste for looks!  They still looked great though!

If anyone is interested in ordering custom truffles similar to this, the cost would work out like this....

8 dozen @ $24 per dozen, for custom colors is $192.

To add birthday candles is $1 per candle if I buy them or $.50 per candle if you supply them to me....so in this case, $40 for 40 candles.
So, the grand total would be $232 for 8 dozen Custom Cake Truffles.

Another question that I get a lot is...How many should I order?  This is hard for me to say, I think you know your crowd better.  Are they dessert eaters?  It is hard to stop at one, especially when you want to try different flavors.  But, there are some people out there with good self control (this is not me!).  They are a very rich and decadent desert and two per person is the maximum that you need to order, in my opinion.

For this party, there were 60 people, I figured 1.5 cake truffles per person because there was lots of food.  There were some left over, but that way the birthday girl got to take some home....Yea!

Here is another picture of how they are decorated......

These little balls of CAKERY goodness are delicious and cute too!

Amaretto Cake Truffles

Amaretto is one of my newest flavors.  So new, that these aren't on my menu cards.  I guess I am going to have to redesign my cards soon!

Amaretto Cake Truffles are made with a rich amaretto cake with an amaretto liqueur buttercream frosting that enhances their sweet, creamy, almond flavor.

If you get a chance, try one (or two) they are really delicious!

Amborsia Cake Truffles

Ambrosia is one of my newer flavors...so, those of you who have tasted or ordered my Cake Truffles in the past probably have not tried this one. 

I have to say, it is one of the best!  I am a coconut fan, so if you are too, you will love these.  They are made from a moist coconut cake with a glaze added in that has got orange, crushed pineapple, and bit of coconut rum.  SO GOOD!

Baby Shower Party Favors

I did these really cute boxes for an "It's a Boy!" baby shower recently....congratulations to the proud parents!  The cake truffles looked so great nestled in their little boxes!  The double stripes in two different blue colors really popped.  There are so many different types of individual boxes available, it is hard for me not to order them all in.  These were just plain white ones with a custom label on the front with a matching bow.  They are great for weddings too!

Working on my WEBSITE!

I haven't been posting much lately, because I am spending all of my spare time making Cake Truffles and designing my website.  NO time for POSTING!

You may have noticed that the blog colors have changed, that is because I am trying to get the blog to match the website more.  I have made really good headway with the website, but there is still a lot to go.  Here is a pic of what the design looks like (so far)!

MENU CARD flavors

I have printed some business cards with my "menu" on the back.  This way, when you have an assortment tin, you can tell which flavors are inside.  Good idea, right?!?!

You know when you get a box of chocolates and you have to bite into it to see what is inside??  I hate that!  I want to know what is in there so I can pick which one I want.  So, that is what I have done with my cake truffles and cake pops.  Unless you order custom colors, or perhaps special decorations for a holiday, my flavors are always decorated the same way depending on what flavor it is inside.

Here is what it looks like....

Back Porch Tea House

There is a great little shop in Willard called The Back Porch Tea House.  It has a store in the front with flowers, antiques and gifts.  In the back, you can eat lunch most days and they just started having dinner on the weekends.  They have started carrying my Cake Truffles!  So, if you are in Willard, stop by for something to eat and try a new flavor of Jean Marie's Cake Truffles!

Here is their website:  http://www.villageflowersandmercantile.com

If you are looking for a gift for someone, I will have Halloween and Fall assortments available from me anytime, and you will be able to go into the Tea House and get them too!  I will post a pic of my Halloween boxes soon....they are so cute!
