So Long Christopher Walter


Christopher A. Walter is leaving for Zambia May, 8th, 2012 - I was asked to do a farewell cake and this is what was requested! Still working on different mediums for writing - never been my favorite! I like the whole flower, border, thing a lot more! It's all part of it though!


It's pages burn with the truth eternal and destroy it we never can! I will never leave you nor forsake you. When you saw only one set of footprints - it was then that I carried you my dear child!

Chris,
You'll be missed

Gum Paste Flowers


This is a supplement course that I took while at Wilton. I was so thankful for the opportunity to take it and look forward to using these on future cakes!
Sorry for the late post!

Frozen Mocha Chocolate

We had a family over the other night so I thought it was a perfect opportunity to try out a new cake! I regretfully didn't take any pictures, but it was kind of yummy!
I found the recipe Epicurious.com. It was a frozen mocha chocolate cake with a chocolate Ganache icing. A bottom layer of cake 1/8" thick then a layer of cafe mouse with another layer of 1/8" of cake then covered with the Ganache - a lot of steps and an expensive cake to make, but it was worth it! Another good thing about it as well is that you can cut the cake into small pieces and no one will complain! I made an 8x4" round cake and was able to cut it into about 20 pcs opposed to the 8-10 recommended online. It is such a rich cake - but really yummy!

I've been tempted to make a Good Friday Cake! We'll see!!
