- How many guests are you expecting?
- Will you be serving right after dinner or later in the evening?
- Are you having other desserts?
- Do you have any specail dietary needs for family members?

Alex's Graduation Cake
Alex’s was celebrating his graduation with two of his cousins (girls). They each chose fancy cakes for themselves and told me ”he doesn’t care what he gets. Just frost a cake for him”.
No way. I put his announcement with a tassel on a cake with his school colors. Not as fancy as theirs, but guys are not fancy.
Congrats Alex!

- Abbie and Matthew’s Wedding Cake
Abbie had last minute complications with her plans on getting a wedding cake. She called me and needed one for her wedding in 8 days. Thankfully I had an open spot and I was able to create this lovely cake for her.
The cake was all butter white and frosted with my butter-cream frosting created with butter and whipping cream.

- Calvin and KOTR 70th Anniversary Cake
I received a request to make a cake for the Knights of the Road MC Detroit. They wanted it to match the patch on their vests exactly and be the same size. Well, I took the challenge and this picture shows I did it. And it was butter-cream not fondant.

Perfect Chocolate Glaze
Monday, July 5th, 2010
Want to cover your bundt cake with a chocolate glaze? Here’s an easy, great tasting chocolate glaze.
Melt 6 oz semisweet chocolate chips, stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream. Microwave on medium 15 seconds, stir. Let cool 5 minutes before spooning over cake and guiding down sides with a metal offset spatula. Makes enough to coat an 8″ to 10″ cake.
Note: The key to remember when melting chocolate is that chocolate can burn easily and once it burns, there’s no way to fix it. To melt chocolate, break it into pieces in a glass bowl and microwave on medium at 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until it just becomes liquid.
We can not afford an reception, now what?
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010
Money is tight, and we really can’t afford a reception. Can we invite guests to the ceremony and just serve cake and coffee afterwards?
You sure can. A lot of brides are taking similar nontraditional routes. Here’s the catch: You have to make this clear on the invites “Please join us as we say our vows, dessert will be served immediately after”. Guest will then know what to expect.
