BLIZZARD OF 2010 CAKE





























Hello my dears,
Grandma had so much fun making a birthday cake for a group of Winter 2010 Birthday Guests. he theme seemed to fit: "The BLIZZARD OF 2010". Grandma layered Dutch Chocolate and French Vanilla cake, covered by Vanilla Buttercream Frosting. Crystalized White Sugar and Sweet Coconut gave the feel of a snowy terrain, along with a stranded WHITE SUV. Just add the marshmallow snowman and "ta-da".
Fun and Tasty always brings many smiles to the guests.
Happy New YEar darlings!

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
