Once again I am way behind!

I promise that I will try and keep up with my posts!!  It just kinda gets a little overwhelming trying to keep up with everything!  You know, the mom thing, the wife thing, the cake decorator thing......etc...  Anywho!!  I have a new laptop and not all the pics of the cakes I have done since the cute minnie mouse one are on here, but I will post the ones that I have done and put on this blog!!  Here ya go!  enjoy!  And as always if you have any questions about what something is or just want to order a cake or cupcakes from me, let me know!!  You can message me on FB www.facebook.com/sweetelisecakes,  OR you can email me at either one of two email addresses jerrobelibaby@gmail.com OR sweetelisecakes@gmail.com.

I have been thinking about doing some type of video tutorial.... would anyone like to see what I do when I make one of your cakes?

I am SOOOOO behind!!

I really need to set a reminder on my phone to update this blog more!  My last post was about working at a commercial bakery and I forgot to post some pics of the cakes that I had made there.  So that's what I will do here in this post as well as cakes I have done since I have been back at home.   Here they are!  Enjoy! And as always, please think of me for your next event!!

Foray into the commercial baking world

Last fall I was hired to work at a brand new bakery!  Boy was I excited!!  Due to some late deliveries and things just not being just right to open, we didn't open until January of this year!  Because I was working for them, I was not able to do cakes out of my home like in the past.  It was a great experience to be able to use other peoples stuff!!  The best thing of all was that they had a sheeter!!!  For those of you who don't know what a sheeter is, its a machine that rolls the fondant out for you!!! Its SO amazing!!!  Its definitely one of the things I will miss the most!  hmmmmmm maybe I will have to save up my cake profits and get one for my home!!  lol  Well things didn't work out with me working there, so I will now be working towards doing cakes out of my own home again!!!  yay!!  So if you need a cake, think of me for your next event!

Oops! One more!

I was going through my regular digital camera and realize that I have a cake on there that I haven't put on even my Facebook page yet!  I know I say this about every cake, but man I love this cake!!  It is a casino night themed cake for the mom of some of my repeat clients.  I would have to say that my chocolate cake with the peanut butter buttercream with the pb cups in it is by far my most popular cake and this is what this cake was!  So they were doing a casino night theme, but she also loves bubble baths so I made a little figurine sitting in a bubble bath of the birthday girl!!  They sent me a picture of her reaction when she opened her eyes and saw that cake and man was it priceless!! oh and a big shout out to my friend Amiee Erickson who painted the symbols and numbers on the playing cards for me!! 

Pregnant bellies, Hello Kitty and wedding cakes?

I did forget a few other cakes that I haven't posted on here yet.  This first one was for a baby shower and was a cute pregnant belly cake with a zebra stripe pattern.  The next one is a Hello Kitty cake.  This was done for a little girl I did a Dora cake for last year!  Thanks for the repeat business guys!  The last one is a super important cake for me.  It was my little brothers wedding cake!!  I cannot believe that he finally did it!  he got married and I was the lucky one to be able to make his cake for him!  Enjoy!!

Sorry about the not so hot picture.  I totally forgot to take a good picture of it before they got to the house. This cake was a chocolate and white marble cake with raspberry filling.

This was a really special cake!  I have never done a cake like this one before.  It is a chocolate cake with a strawberry and banana filling!  I decided to go for a fresh filling instead of doing any sort of cream so it would taste as good as it can! They said that it turned out just amazing!!

This is my masterpiece!!  I put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this cake........ok well not blood but a whole lot of sweat and tears!!  The bottom three cakes were strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream filling, the middle two cakes were white cake with vanilla buttercream filling and the top three cakes were chocolate with peppermint buttercream filling.  This was definitely a labor of love and I think it turned out super duper amazing!!
