Looking For Something?

About Me

I am NOT a chef, culinary student, professional pastry chef or any other formally trained food manipulator. I am the co-owner of Crucial Element Productions and CAKE! Dessert Design Studio. I can plan it, cook it, bake it and make it look pretty. Did I mention I love to eat?! If they had a 12 step program for Cakaholism I'd probably need about 15 to kick the habit. Decided to let my addiction become my pastime and eventually my paycheck.

If I Were An Elf Santa would SO Hire Me!

It's been a busy few days for CakeDDS. In the last 3 days we made 6 full cakes, 52 mini cakes and some other misc treats. Now, I'm not complaining in the least, cakin' is something I love. It was a lot of work though. Here's some of the Valentine's Day treats we came up with:


Zebras & Hearts
The "zebra" cakes are chocolate cake with oreo frosting covered in chocolate ganache and white chocolate drizzle.
The "hearts" are chocolate cake with fresh strawberry filling covered in chocolate ganache and eventually topped with a pink champagne heart.




Here are just some of the mini cakes we made. Carrot cakes with cream cheese frosting covered in white chocolate ganache.


An overview of some of the finished products from this marathon baking session. A little of this, a little of that....


A cake "candy box" made of red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. 100% edible including the lid and the candies inside.

All the single ladies! All the single ladies!

Capoeira

For those of you who were chomping at the bit to catch a glimpse of the capoeira cake here it is.

The top layer is chocolate cake with oreo frosting and the bottom layer is yellow cake with strawberry filling and vanilla icing. And of course we make everything from scratch.

Ok, so it didn't turn out as amazing as I had hoped due to some unforseen circumstances but hey it happens. And it still tasted great.

My kids better never say I don't love them lol. There's photographic proof.
