Cake Royalty..

I havent watched the wedding yet, I know, I know. The cake, however, has been the highlight of day in the cake shop. I think its crazyyyy old-school, but traditional. Fruitcake? Ill pass, but I have read that it is very popular in Europe for weddings. BUT, is it the tradition fruitcake we, Americans, cant stand? Or a traditional cake cake that is delicious and moist? Ill research for you all and let you know my outcome.

By the way, we do most of our deliveries on the weekend. Saturday is more popular. So if you think having a 9-5(?) job in the pastry world is all I do, I have to put a lot of gas and miles into it to. This is the downside, but I looove it. :)

Complaints are sucky too. Well heres a pic of the Royal Wedding Cake :) Enjoy!

Rolling in the dough..... kind of.

SO, today was an interesting day in the cake world. I have read up on my wedding material (I am not getting married, it just comes with the industry), and have noticed this ridiculous pose that bridal parties do : The Jump and Smile Pose. I think we need to tuck this back into the NEVER DO AGAIN vault and move on. Im sorry for those of you have have done this or are planning to in the near future. Why the hell do photographers believe this is unique still???

Anyways, a few days ago, I had my photo taking while in "action". Granted, I was trying to act normal, which probably lead to my being awkward in these photos. They should be here soon and Im excited to put them into my profile. I feel like they will make my portfolio say "LOOK AT ME! IM SO NERDY I GOT PICTURES OF ME WORKING!" but I think its funny, so Im going to do it.

I worked on a cake today that was black and teal. Im definitely digging this teal thing. Bring on the teal! I think its a fresh color that hasnt been worn out yet :)

Heres a view of me in all my glory. (Photo credits go to my boss :) )

Eat cake and be merry!

Who actually wants to avoid the sweet tastes of your favorite indulgences over a few inches off of your waist?

Here it is. A cake blog. YES, I SAID CAKE!! I will relay recipes, techniques and favorites to you, my readers, for a simple break from life. Feel free to comment and add tips or advice. Im open to all.

Because one of my passions is writing and my love is food, I figured put the two together. Since Im working in a specialty cake shop now, this blog is focused on cake.

First topic. Bling cakes. I think Im actually liking this theme. Flashy, hot pink, and zebra? Who can resist? If I didnt eat cake almost everyday, I would have just pictured my dream birthday cake. Since I am constantly surrounded by new ideas, I have become fond of feathers and glitz.... which is very off track for me. Maybe I feel edgy? What are your thoughts? I think Im in love.
