Time to get your orders in for Christmas Cake Pop and Cake Truffles! Our flavors this year are: Birthday Cake, Snickerdoodle, Wedding Cake, Chocolate Brownie Mint, Pumpkin, & Red Velvet! A very delicious assortment of flavors!!
Shown in this picture are: a Dozen Box of Cake Pops, One Dozen Cake Pops in an Arrangement, Cake Truffles by the Dozen (on the stand) great for serving at holiday parties, and an 18 Cake Pop Party Pack.
I was fortunate enough to be invited to this birthday party, so I got to eat one of these teacup cupcakes. Might I just say that they were delicious! White wedding cake, raspberry filling and vanilla pastry cream filling with buttercream frosting *sigh*.
It was not only the birthday girl's first birthday, but the first time she had eaten any cake! I am not sure how she can be a relative of mine and this be a possibility. The poor baby girl was not too happy about getting this strange frosting stuff all over her. I am hoping that in later years she will come to appreciate my baking ;)
With the 2012 Olympics coming up, my niece decided to do her daughter's first birthday with an Olympics theme. I didn't do the table here, just the cupcakes and cake. She and her sister did the rest and when it all came together, it was very cute!
These two pics aren't great (I took them with my phone), but I may add more pics later when I ever get around to getting the good ones off of my camera (so what I am saying here is don't hold your breath!).
I know, I know....if you have ever asked me to make a cake, and I said "I don't make cakes", I am sorry! I should say that I don't like to make big cakes and try to avoid it at all costs!! I make exceptions now and then, and that is good for me, because it reminds me of the reasons why I should always tell people that "I don't make cakes". ☺
Cake pops that look like cupcakes!! These are so great for a special birthday party. The bottom "cake" is made of rice cereal/marshmallow treats, covered with buttercream frosting, covered with homemade fondant. DELICIOUS!
Cake Pops in the cupcake shape are 1/2 again as big as our normal size cake pop or cake truffle. There are 24 cake pops on this "cake".
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!
Halloween Cake Truffles! I love these boxes! AND the truffle papers match....how cute is that? The flavors in the assortment are....Birthday Cake, Mocha, Snickerdoodle, Pumpkin and Chocolate Brownie Mint.
I've got a limited supply of these Halloween boxes for those of you who are interested. I am taking orders now, so if you are interested in ordering a dozen (or two, or three) assorted Cake Truffles for Halloween, email me and get on the list! They are $25 for a dozen wrapped up like you see above.
Here is another picture of how they are decorated......
These little balls of CAKERY goodness are delicious and cute too!
This is an order of custom Birthday Cake Truffles. Besides being delicious, they look so great on a platter for a birthday party! These aren't all Birthday Cake flavor though. There is a row each of Birthday Cake, Orange Dream, and Very Berry. Happy Birthday Michelle!
So, since I posted Paige's cake, I thought, to be fair, I should post Jessica's too. This is the cake I made for her birthday this year. We redid her room and she moved on from the pink and purple flowers look to a more grown-up blue, brown, and tan. Her cake matches her room!
Paige just had her 4th Birthday, time really does fly! I had an entirely different cake planned for her birthday. Then, just a few weeks before her BD, she informs me that she wants a Scooby Doo birthday.....so, here is how it turned out! I like it OK, not my best work, but she loved it, i guess that is all that matters!
I have been spending A LOT of time lately trying to perfect my recipes. There are so many great flavors to choose from!
BUT, I really need to get them narrowed down to the best ones to streamline my production. Soooo, here is the latest list of flavors that I feel are ones that most everyone will love!
Regular flavors......Chocolate Chocolate, Red Velvet, Very Berry, Birthday Cake, Wedding Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, German Chocolate, and Mocha.
Mocha is the newest one here, and let me just say....IT IS SO GOOD!
