Grad Cake Pop Basket

Been very busy this week getting all the grads their baskets, but it has been a blast!  Each basket has a dozen cake pops in Chocolate and Vanilla cake. They are dipped in chocolate in the color their choice (school colors, favorite colors, or open for me to choose). They are hand decorated for each occasion and in this case its graduation!
Congratulations Christian!!!
Remember there is a good reason they call these ceremonies 'commencement exercises'. Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning..by: Orrin Hatch! 

I wish you much success in your next journey!  =)

Hoppy Frog Birthday Cake for Caleb!

This weekend was interesting… This cake was for a customer who was celebrating her son’s first birthday. She saw this cake on Cake Central. (Best place to get tips, help, and idea for a cake). The Original Sugar Artist had a great vision on this piece and my customer wanted to share it with friends and family.

 Here is the frog cake requested.


To keep cost down, I used 5 boxes of Cake Mixes instead of doing it from scratch. The entire cake was filled with Strawberry Filling. Used star tip # 17; a 12” Round Pan (2 Chocolate Cake Mixes), a 10” Square Pan for the legs (2 Vanilla Cake Mixes), ½ of Vanilla Cake Mix to make 4 Jumbo Cupcakes (2 extra’s just in case), and the other ½ on a 6” Smash Cake for the Birthday boy which I free hand the frog and alternated the colors.  All covered in Vanilla Butter Cream.  Total of 5 boxes, I had to go up in size do to the count of people attending. Original Cake called for 8” and a 9”. This was fun and a very long project. The worse part of this project was, I did it in 95 ̊̊weather, with NO air conditioning… not fun!
 Love to hear what you guys think…    Happy Baking!
