1st Birthday

This week I made a cake for my nephew Jake's first birthday.  My sister was doing the Sesame Street theme.  I made a cake with Elmo, Big Bird and Cookie Monster.  I made the feathers out of fondant.  The beak is made out of rice krispie treats with fondant covering it.

Jake seemed to really like the cake. He was all smiles and at one point went face first into the cake, didn't bother using hands.  It was adorable!

This week I have a cake due for my work.  H.R. approached me for a cake for a company event.  I am honored that they asked, but can not produce the size that they wanted.  They wanted it to feed 300 people.  Living in an apartment and baking that much is impossible. I will just make the display cake and they will get sheet cakes for everyone.  I started it today and have to buy more fondant to finish the blocks tomorrow.  I am super nervous for this cake.  The whole building will see it.  Talk about pressure!

I will let you know how it goes.  Until then, have a great week!
