HOLIDAY GOODIES FROM GRANDMA HERB

Hello Dearies,

Here is a list of many of Grandma's tasty Holiday Treats. Please let Grandma know if you need anything.

Happy Holidays to you all!

ROAD KILL CAKE

Hello my Sweets,

Grandma had great fun whipping up this ROAD KILL CAKE, (poor little Raccoon) for a White Trash party in NYC. Grannie really didn't run him over, those tire tracks are just tasty frosting.

Let your Grandma know if you ever need a special cake for any occasion.

Kisses,

Grandma

GLUTEN FREE PUMPKIN CHEESE CAKE

Hello my dearies,

Gandma has made a lovely Autumnal dessert for you.

It is a Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheese Cake.

If you'd like to try it, the sweet people over at BISTANGO Restaurant, who feature Gluten Free cuisine, use Grandma's recipe.

Enjoy this beautiful Fall weather and let Grandma know if you need any treats.

LIGHT BOARD CAKE

Hello my dears,

Grandma has gone high tech with her sweet LIGHTING BOARD CAKE. This yummy confection was made for the birthday of a young lighting designer, traveling with a dance company. Though it does not plug in, it did light up this boy's special day. Here's what he had to say:

"This cake was, and still continues to be D-lish! Thank you, thank you Grandma Herb for making my birthday so wonderful."

Such a nice young man.

TROPICAL FISH CAKE

Hello my little muffins,

Grandma put on her Calypso Records to get inspired while making this TROPICAL FISH BIRTHDAY CAKE. The birthday girl has an unusual collection of colorful fishies all around her home, including one large fellow who watches her in the shower. Oh My!

The cake was WILD BERRY, a mix of fresh whole Blueberries and pureed Strawberries. The frosting was assorted brightly colored vanilla. YUM!

Enjoy your summer my dears.

Love Grandma

VIDEO TAPE CAKE

Hello my dears. Grandma had fun making this little dandy of a birthday cake. The birthday boy has quite an extensive collection of Video Cassette Tapes. So Grandma Herb created a Four Stack Video Tape Cake. The black frosting made for a realistic plastic cassette and the rich chocolate cake made it yummy!

This is what the lovely people had to say about it:

"The cake was delicious and so creative! Everyone loved it."

"What a remarkable cake. A surprise for him, delicious for all of us. It was a hit!!! Thank you so much."

FIREMAN'S HELMET CAKE

Hello my dearies, Grandma was lucky enough to make a specialty cake for a young man's graduation. He happens to be a volunteer fireman as well. His graduation cake was a replica of his actual helmet. Lesson learned: Helmets and Cake will keep you happy and safe.

Enjoy your summers and let Grandma know if you need anything.

Loaf you lots!

GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE & EGG FREE LEMON CHIFFON PIE

Hello my little dearies. Grandma was asked to create a scrumptious dessert that is Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free & Egg-Free. I almost had to serve them a shoe! But luckily, Grandma was able to whip up a wonderful LEMON CHIFFON PIE. It mimics a traditional Lemon Meringue Pie but is free of all the icky things listed above.

Do take a peek at Grandma's special treat.

GLUTEN & DAIRY FREE LEMON SQUARES

Hello my dears! Grandma has been keeping very busy with some new GLUTEN FREE goodies. One of the latest are some sweet and tart Gluten-Free and Milk Free Lemon Squares... YUMMY!

These refreshing citrus treats are great for the warmer weather, yet satisfy ant sweet tooth.

Lemony kisses from your Grandma!

SPECIALTY FOOT CAKE

What kind of Specialty Birthday Cake do you make for a Podiatrist?

A GIANT FOOT CAKE of course!

I had the pleasure of creating this tasty toe-topped confection for a Dr. of Podiatric Medicine in Connecticut.

The double layered cake (top layer classic vanilla, bottom was chocolate sour cherry) was iced with traditional frosting. (I prefer it to fondant for flavor, though it's more difficult to sculpt.)

I was told the toe nails were "Sweet!"

POST VALENTINE / FASHION WEEK PARTY

Mint Chocolate

Cupcakes, YUM!

Smile and say

"CUPCAKES"

Cherries,

Love Bunnies

and

Sugar Glitter

Grandma had the pleasure of baking goodies for a wonderful Post-Valentine / Post-Fashion Week Party at OLIPHANT STUDIOS in NYC. This amazing Painted Backdrop Studio hosted a great annual event for its friends, clients, employees and their kids.

Among the baked morsels were: Mint Chocolate Cupcakes, Assorted Cupcakes enlivened with gleaming sugars, Marshmallow Love Bunnies and Juicy Cherries, Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies and Assorted Gluten-Free Almond Tarts topped with Apples, Chocolate, Black Raspberry and Maple Cream.

Thank you Sarah, for a terrific time!
