Signs for Muffins

So today I was feeling some what creative so I made a new sign for my muffins. Here are some pictures.

More Cake!

So the other day I got a coconut from the store. I did not know its plans for it yet but I knew I wanted to do something yummy. I decided to make a coconut cake with fresh coconut. First, it's strained of the coconut water, then it's placed in the oven to bake and then cracked open. Shredding the coconut meat reminded me of when I was young and my grandfather used to spend hours in the kitchen shredding coconut and making many, many of his infamous holiday rice puddings for the whole entire family. I watched him and helped him that one time and I was like WOW.

 So, here are the pictures. The cake was delicious and went fast. Funny because it reminded of wedding cake. The fresh coconut was so good and such a difference from using store bought, pre-packaged stuff. The cake was dense and the frosting used was a 7-minute frosting which was super easy to ice. i still have to perfect my cake icing skills but this one looked better than the carrot cake, appearance wise. They will soon be available to the public. Enjoy the pictures.

CAKES!

Ok so the other day I went to the kitchen supply store to buy some cake pans to attempt cakes...layer cakes. I haven't done a layer cake since I was younger and it was only for fun and I remember icing it was sometimes a huge ordeal but I was doing it for fun. Sometimes the cake wouldn't come out of the pan completely and I had to "glue" it together with icing. Wonder if I had any pictures of my first cakes...hmmmmm. Anyway, I tried doing a layer cake (with all the nightmares in my head of OMG I am going to make a huge mess in my kitchen and oven lol) and the cake popped out of the pan fine but icing was another story. I should have iced the middle and placed it in the refrig but I attempted to ice the whole cake in a really hot kitchen...no good. So before I keep writing and this become a novel, here are some pictures. I made my mother's famous holiday carrot cake and it tasted yummy. Presentation....I have to work on.

After some more practice these 8" double layer cakes will be part of our rotation.

Thank you to Libby for letting us be a part of your wedding 10-8-11!
