Sorry it's been so long since my last post, but these last few months have been absolutely crazy. My hubby and I both came back from an Arizona Thanksgiving being sick with this icky respiratory stuff, and are just now feeling better. So we worked through my busiest catering/cake/cookie December ever, being less than our normal selves and with my catering partner out of town. It was difficult, but somehow we made it through. Still trying to catch up on my rest. Whew!
Every little girl is still into Frozen. I started off the season back in November with another Frozen cake. I love making Olaf... each one has a little different pose, but he's a cute character to design for a cake. Used more isomalt for detail. Oh, did I mention how much I love isomalt? I got creative on some of my wedding cakes with isomalt too, which I will show you a bit later. Love the stuff!
Here's a couple of other birthday cakes I made in November...
Then came the crazy December...
Started off with cookies, lots and lots of cookies... 50 dozen for a PTA function for my grand-daughters' school. I always learn the hard way... will not do that again. Too many cookies for my smaller than commercial kitchen.
And more cookies...
And cinnamon rolls...
And then the annual goodies for the friend and neighbors...
Chocolate covered Ritz peanut butter cookies, chocolate covered brownie bites, and toffee
All packaged and ready for delivery
This is something new I tried... chocolate covered bacon for my bacon loving friend...
It was actually very, very yummy!
At the end of November, I purchased some really fun new decorating tools... anything to make my work easier and a little more fun and creative... and used some of my old tools in a different way. That will be the subject of my next post, but these are some of the finished products...
Cake for my granddaughter's piano recital (which I had to miss by the way because of a catering job :( )
3 wintry wedding cakes, to go along with wedding catering gigs... I really enjoy decorating winter wedding cakes.
Last, but not least... a cute little gender reveal cake... by the way, it was blue inside...
We ended the month with a catering gig for 100 on New Year's Eve afternoon. And no, we didn't celebrate much that night. Just glad to be home on our cozy little couch, watching Back to the Future II to see what 2015 was supposed to be like! Happy New Year!
