Here are a couple of pictures of the cakes that I spent last week working on.  There were pretty simple, but I loved doing them!  There is something about the non-fussiness of a buttercream covered cake, that calls my name.  I think that as soon as you start involving fondant, your game has to be ON.  With a buttercream cake, it’s just you and your piping bag, and I let mine go where it wants to take me.

I needed a refresher on some simple buttercream borders, so I went to YouTube to check some out.  I will be posting my own Simple Border Video soon, so make sure you take a minute and subscribe to our YouTube Channel, here.

This was the Root Beer birthday surprise cake for “Weiny”.  It is a Root Beer cake base, with a Root Beer Buttercream icing.  Mmmm!

This cake was for a lady who’s colleague was leaving and wanted to wish her Good Luck.  It is a Vanilla Cake, with Pink Vanilla Buttercream.

This is cake was for my Dad’s hockey team.  I made it for them to enjoy after their final game of the season.  Word on the street was the “guys” loved it.  I love how my dad talks with hockey player speak, as if he is 20. It’s so cute!   This cake is a Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream.  Doesn’t get more Classic than that.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about, click here.

Like I said, these cakes were all pretty simple, but fun to make.  This week coming up we’ve got some more intense creations on the list: Monster Trucks cake for a 6 year old’s birthday, and a Truck replica cake for a client’s brother in law’s 25th birthday.  How is that men like the same things st 6 and 25? Ha ha!  Should be interesting!  These are right up Paul’s alley.
