I swear I can make a cake that isn't pink! :) Here are some pictures of the finished Luau Cake! It was really fun to make. The cake was a black and white cake; half chocolate, half vanilla. The chocolate layers were filled with a rich chocolate ganache and the vanilla layers were filled with a yummy vanilla mousse.

Gum Paste Flowers for Luau Cake


Here are some pictures of gumpaste flowers I just finished for a Luau Birthday cake I have coming up. These flowers are completely edible (except for the wire holding them together), made of gumpaste, a type of sugar dough. After they are made and dried, they can be brushed with edible powder or airbrushed with edible paint. I airbrushed these today. These are going on a fabulous 2 tier birthday cake I am making in bit; I will for sure post the pictures of the finished cake!

The BEST Chocolate Cookie in the world

Here is a picture of some cookies I made the other day. This is probably my favorite kind of cookie: Chocolate Thumbprints. It is actually a "Godiva" recipe, taught to me by Chef Diane Fallis, my Pastry Chef instructor when I was in culinary school. These are soooo good! It is a chocolate shortbread cookie dipped in pecans, then finished off with some smooth chocolate ganache. YUM!
