Princess Crown Cake

Made simple..

After a day of looking around on how to make a princess crown cake, I couldn't find one that I loved or even would think about making. They were either to complicated or just plain boring. (nothing against the great bakers out there) I need something that a average baker could do and one that would be perfect for a little girl. So I am making it up as I go.

Here is what I have so far.

I took 2 cake recipes for chocolate cake. Just your basic cake recipe nothing over the top or fancy.
I poured one into a 9x9 square pan.
Next I poured one a bunt pan.

I am going to make the square pan the pillow and the bunt pan will be transformed into a crown. I will place the bunt pan on top of the square pan and decorate it.

My new desert creation

I don't have a name of it as it has many things in it.
I'll list all the ingredients and maybe some of you can come up with a good name for it.
2- 8 inch chocolate round cakes
1 crust less cheese cake
4 sliced strawberries
butter cream frosting
chocolate dipped strawberries
and hard chocolate shell

So I started out with on of the chocolate rounds on the bottom. I place a little butter cream down on top of that layer. I then took the cheesecake and placed it on top of that. I then sliced the strawberries and placed them on top of the cheesecake and the place a little butter cream on the top of that.I then placed the second round on top of that,gave it a crumb coat of frosting.Placed it in the freezer for a bit and then covered with a clean coat of butter cream. I used a bakers dipping chocolate to dip the strawberries. I used the same chocolate to top the cake with. After pouring the chocolate on the cake I placed the dipped strawberries on a pillow of butter cream to hold them in place. I then placed the cake in the freezer to firm up the chocolate and to keep it all together. After about 10 minutes in the freeze I kept in the refrigerator until time to serve.

Ben 10 Omnitrix Cake

Logan wanted an Ben 10 cake and after thinking about all the ways I could make the cake. I decided that it would be easier to make him the watch the boy wears to turn into the aliens.

So here it is start to finish.
This is a layer of milk chocolate cake and simple vanilla cake layer,iced together with plain white icing. Then I started the center of the dial for the top of the watch.



I added the black to finish the dial on the top of the cake.


Here I am frosting the outer edge of the cake. (sorry about the poor looks it was 1am)

I added to pieces of cake to make the wrist band. One is milk chocolate and the other is simple vanilla cake.


Here I am working on icing the wristband. And then what they look like before I add the details to them.



All the details are done, and I am getting ready to write on the cake. (this is the part I still need to work really hard on)


The lettering is all done and here is the finish cake.



I loved making this cake for him. It may not be my best work but it was fun. I worked on this cake until 3am and it was worth every minute of it.

Tropical Storm Fay

And it's aftermath. Although the storm is not our of area completely and we are still unsure of how much more of the storm is going to hit us. I wanted to share some of the pictures of what is going on around us. Right now Flooding is a big problem as well as power outages due to trees being on the lines or the lines just being on the ground.
