WALTER THE FARTING DOG

Based on a series of Children's books, Walter the Farting dog makes his appearance in thousands of people's homes. So when I was asked to do a farting dog, my first reaction was..To laugh of course.I have to say, Walter is more than a dog to me, he was my friend during this process!  Here is the final product. Walter's Head is made out of Rice Krispies Treats and covered in fondant. His Body is Pound cake and caramel icing in between 6 Layers. He was about 2 feet tall and weighed what I thought was  TON. Below are some pictures that my customer sent along with a rave review on how good a dog he was. They also kept his Head and froze it  for a future appearance at next years Christmas celebration.

Here is what my customer had to say about her experience with Walter.

"There were 19 of us at the party and Walter made his appearance as everyone was finishing Lunch.......He was a huge hit. Everyone wanted their picture with him!!! After the pictures were taken, Walter was analyzed to see how he should be ...eaten.......this took awhile. We also had to say a few words about him before the moment of carving.......All I have to say is that he tasted wonderful and everyone took a layer of him home. My in-laws were so impressed with the creatation they decided to freeze the top of the cake to make it`s re-appearance at next years party. Thank-you Sherry for making our idea come to life!!!!!!!!"

BRIDAL TASTING EVENT

Our Very First Bridal tasting Event on October 17th Was a Huge Hit. We had about 56 people come in and taste our selections that consisted of :
White Almond Cake with White Almond Buttercream
Vanilla Cake with Vanilla Buttercream
Chocolate Cake with Caramel and Chocolate Ganache
Lemon Cake with Raspberry buttercream
Vanilla Cake with Vanilla Buttercream and Raspberry Mousse
Marble Cake with Chocolate buttercream
and our Delcious Red velvet Cupcakes

Photography was done by Randi Gallant who displayed her beautiful work for the bride's to see and the Event was co-ordinated and decorated by Red Hot Events. The Venue was at the Red Whale who was extremely co-operative with the friendliest Staff. Thank you for Letting us use your beautiful space. During the event, Brides had to Rate the cake flavours using a score card from 1-6 and the most popular flavour turned out to be my Chocolate cake with Chocolate Ganache and Caramel. A Close second was White Almond with White Almond Buttercream. The Reviews were more than I anticipated and I look forward to doing this again.

I also created a dislay cake to match the decor which was Red, Black and White.

I absolutely loved doing this and Can't wait till the next one.

BAKING IN THE HEAT!

Today is one of the HOTTEST days in the area and the Humidity is extreme. I don't honestly feel like baking but I have no choice. The fan is running at the window so maybe I can get some breeze even though the heat of the oven takes over and the room suddenly becomes hotter than it normally is. Wishing that a sudden burst of cold maybe some Winter weather will come today. Wishful thinking. Who needs to bake the cakes in the oven when its this hot and they could probably bake out on the counter.

How I get to the final Product

So unless someone gives me a picture of exactly what they want, I usually have my own ideas in my head. I never sketch it out as in the past I have and it doesn't turn out that way. I always end up changing things as I go along because I feel some things work and some don't. I try to make a cake that pops out. Something that people will remember and see from across the room and say "WOW". That is when I know I did my job as a cake artist.  Usually people don't want to cut the cake. It gives me Great pleasure to cut a cake because to me , the inside matters just as much as the outside.

The Most Special 1st Birthday Cake!

So my son absolutely loves Dr.Seuss, Or I should say my husband does. So I decided to make this cake as it was only fitting. He absolutely loves books and so this was fun. The Cupcake on top was all his and he knew that. He was wired  by the end of the night. Poor thing had to have been sick , I know I would be.  An extra special cake for an extra special kid.

A Cake Made for me!

My hubby made this one for my 30th. I thought it was quite thoughtful. However I must admit , I didnt trust his abilities to decorate, much less bake a cake for me. He proved me wrong. I guess he watches me way more than he should be. It was delicious as well as sentimental.

The Toothbrush !

This I will never forget, one of the most memorable, most fun and HEAVIEST cakes I have done. It was 4 Feet long . ordered for a grand opening of a dental clinic. This one put me on the Front Page of the Local Paper. It was an honour. I thought it was quite ironic that a dental clinic was ordering this for an opening . Possibly looking for new cavities as a result of all this sugar?
