So I made some Valentine Cruffles! They are really called Cake Balls - but I just don't like the term. So someone coined the phrase Cruffles (since they are cake and similar to truffles). So yep - we are sticking with cruffles!
Here's the Valentine's Day cake that I made. I originally made it for my friends - I was supposed to have a weekend away with them. Unfortunately, Parker is really sick and there was bad weather on the way - so yep, you guessed it, we canceled this weekend. So guess who's going to eat the cake now? Hehehehe...
Well - as it happens, every year Chad gets older, while I get younger. (Ok - maybe I'm dreaming). But anyway, he just had a birthday, so here's his b-day cake. His dream car is a Dodge Viper (yes, he is the dreamer this time). But I thought I'd surprise him anyway.
It's chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and vanilla buttercream. There are some car pictures with a windshield and some without.
I'm teaching Wilton course 3 this month and so I had to teach them how to put fondant on their cake. I just changed the cake in Lesson 2, to make it look more Christmas-y! And then I gave it to Hobby Lobby to eat! It's crazy, because the class graduates in a couple of days and then I'll be done teaching cake decorating classes. =o(
I thought making turkey pops would be cute for Thanksgiving. I also thought they would be easy. LOL. They weren't as easy as I thought, but they were cute! And next time, I know what to do.
They are brownies dipped in chocolate and decorated with Royal Icing. Yummy! (Yes, they taste great!)
Kaelyn turned 17 in October. I couldn't make her b-day cake though because we were in a car wreck and my neck was messed up for a few weeks. Anyway, I finally had time to make her cake. Here it is!
I have been so busy teaching Wilton cake classes that I haven't had a lot of time to make cakes. I finally got to make one for a couple that are about to become missionaries for our church.
