Ivory cake - Louis Vuitton handbag topper

Hello to everyone!

These days have been soo busy for me and it's not over yet! I cannot be any happier ;)
This is the order I have delivered today for a cute blonde girl.

She wanted a Louis Vuitton inspired cake, so I made a nice handbag as topper. Also, some beautiful pale pink roses were added for a splash of color ;)

Hope you like the result as much as I do!

Have a great week happy people!

Cherry Bars

I know autumn is already here and everybody is thinking about pies and pumpkins, but this is a recipe I tried a few months ago and I  really enjoyed it. No more words said, I want to share it with all of you. Of course you can try it with many other fruits of your choice. I think peaches or apricots would be a great substitute ;)

And here is the recipe I found :)


INGREDIENTS:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp almond extract
• 1 1/2 (21 oz) cans cherry pie filling

Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp almond extract
• 2 1/2 - 3 Tbsp half and half

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a medium baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside. 

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. 

Mix in eggs one at a time, then blend in vanilla and almond extracts. 

With mixer set on low speed, slowly add in dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Reserve and set aside 1 1/2 cups batter then spread remaining evenly into prepared baking dish. 

Top with cherry pie filling spreading into an even layer. ( I made my own cherry filling - see the recipe below)

Dollop small spoonfuls of the remaining batter evenly over top.

Bake in preheated oven about 30 - 37 minutes (near lesser time for 15 by 10 baking dish and greater time for 13 by 9). 

Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

For the glaze:
In a small mixing bowl whisk together all glaze ingredients adding enough half and half to reach desired consistency. Pour into a resealable bag, seal bag and cut a small tip from one corner then drizzle over top of cooled bars. Allow glaze to set (to set it quicker chill in freezer) then cut into squares.

Home made cherry filling:

• 2 cups cherries
• 1/4  cup  sugar
• 1/2 cup water

Wash your cherries and take out the seeds.

Put them in a pan along with sugar and water.

Let them boil for 10 minutes or until cherries become soft. If needed, water can be added in small quantities.

Set aside for 10 minutes before use it.

Party Cake - 3D Elephant

Hello cake lovers!

What do you think about this cute cake?
This is my toddler's second cake for his second party.  The idea came from his lovey which is a cute sleeping elephant. I didn't want to make a sleeping elephant on top of a cake, cause nobody would get it.  But I made a nice blue 3D one. I love the idea of a white cake decorated with soft colors .

Among the cake, I made sweets such as muffins and mini cupcakes for the kids. See them as you go.

Sea inspired cake - waves and boat

Guess who's back?

My holiday is officially over and I feel so happy to be back and ready for business. This month is full of events and orders for me and I could not be any happier. Just wait and see!

And to start my busy season, here is one of the cakes I made for my beloved son for his second  anniversary. (I say ''one of the cakes'' cause we had two parties this year, one in Romania with our big family  and one here in Zurich with all our close friends and Thomas's close friends)

And here is my cutie pie blowing in the candles

What inspired me for this cake is his infinite love for water. He could literally stay in water for hours without having any problems. Well, he is not that happy when the skin on his little hands gets all wrinkled and he tries to pull it off :)) He tries so hard and he comes even to me to help him :| I wish I could...

So here is it. Enjoy the rest of the pics ;)

Have a great week, cake lovers!

Soft Blue Floral Cake

Ladies, I present you cake of the week.
I am in love with my last creation made for a special friend of mine for her birthday party. She also loved it ;)
I decided to go for a nice and soft blue color and I decorated with my signature flowers in white.

Inside I made a combination of chocolate cake with  nuts, and cream cheese frosting with a touch of lime for a fresh taste. Deliciousss!

Have a great week! We are for sure going to have the  best one as we are packing for holidays ;) So excited!
