Celebration Events

Hi,

We did a number of events recently that explored some other talents that we have. While our business is known for it's chocolates and cakes, we do create other items, such as desserts and sculptures for special events for our clients.

We recently did a chocolate amenity for Food Fight to be featured on CBS 47 during a lunchtime newscast to promote the event. We also did 50 creme brulee for a client who wanted them as individual desserts for his son's graduation party.

In the next few weeks we are going to be launching a line of "Desserts to Go" featuring tarts, parfaits, sorbets, cookies, cupcakes, frozen fruit drinks, chocolate strawberries, and creme brulee to sell through other vendors as a four star dessert to take home or enjoy on the go.

We'll take photos and feature them when they start!

Hello Everybody!

We did a great event this past week called Food Fight by Lutheran Social Services. We gave aways tons of free chocolate (Matcha Green Tea, Caribbean Cocktail with Rum, Dark Chocolate, Passion Fruit, and Coffee) and cake(Yellow Cake with Champagne or Raspberry Buttercream), got great feedback, made a few contacts with some great vendors!

Here are the pics!

Another week....hence...more cakes!

Laura's Birthday Cake!

Hello,

Over the weekend we did a birthday cake for Laura, the daughter of one of our best customers. We baked a chocolate cake with cookies and cream buttercream covered in white fondant which we air brushed the base with purple to create a slightly misty effect and then two hand made butterflies made out of sugarpaste and painted by hand in the colors of purple, pink, and gold.

After the cake was picked up at our boutique, we got this awesome email in response to our efforts from the Mother.

Judy and Jaycel,

WOW! You outdid yourselves with the cake!!! The flavor - incredible. The icing - amazing. The fondant - I can now say I actually LOVE the stuff now! (I want the recipe!!!)

3 girls attended the party and they LOVED the cake. They were very interested in the fondant and enjoyed the fact that they could lay their face...yes - they put their faces on the fondant - and it didn't get on their skin. (Yes - the girls are crazy!). We ended up putting sparklers on her cake for her candles and it really set the cake off nicely.

Now Langston can't wait for his!

Thank you both so very much for making Laura's birthday so memorable.

Happy Baking

Cake Week

Hello,

This was a cake week for us....

Our first cake was a surprise anniversary cake for one of our chocolate customers.

Our second cake was cool, it was a birthday cake for Hurley Haywood, a race car driver who is famous for winning Le Mans races. We took the logo from his race car and turned it into a cake. The key I think to alot of cakes like this is the question of going for either sculpted cake or a traditional looking cake. We went for the traditional shape because I have found that sculpted cakes are definitely more for show than for eating. The servings are difficult to plan out and the ratio of actual cake to buttercream is too high for what I think to be a pleasant eating experience.

Our third cake was a Birthday Cake for a young boy who is a fan of Transformers...specially Optimus Prime! Not...BumbleBee...OPTIMUS PRIME!!

Our final cake was a baby shower cake for a client who wanted the theme to be about boats and the sea. Hence the stencils of sea gulls, pier posts, and sail boats. I like these cakes, because less is more. We have a few weddings this summer, where the design of the cake is very extravagant, but they are very cool, because it coheres with the theme, rather than being a bunch of stuff just put onto a cake.

Best wishes to everyone!
