So I didn't make a lot of cakes during the month of June, but I did have two cake tastings. I finally figured out the best way to display samples of my cakes....it only took 3 tastings to do so..... Besides the bass guitar cake featured earlier, I only made one other cake, which was the wedding cake that went along with the bass guitar.
This next month I will be working on my Iowa State Fair entries, one of which will be the Pascal cake I said I was going to make earlier, but never did. For my stacked cake entry I'm thinking of doing an extreme leaning cake that defies gravity. I don't have all of the cakes figured out yet, but they will be pretty awesome, so stay tuned....
So first off, here is a picture of my new style of cake samples. The flavors starting left and moving clockwise were: German Chocolate with raspberry, chocolate ganache, and buttercream; Vanilla with raspberry, chocolate ganache, and buttercream; and Chocolate Mahogany with raspberry, chocolate ganache, and buttercream. These were only the requested flavors, but any of my flavors can be tested during a tasting.

Next is a picture of the wedding cake that went with the bass guitar cake. It is just a fondant covered red velvet cake with ribbon and peacock feathers. Simple, yet elegant...
Well that's all the cakes for June...look forward to next month where I have a DJ cake with lights, moving record, and sound.
