For those of you new to the old blog, I make cakes. I make cakes for money. And pleasure, sometimes. Yesterday was one of those days. Pleasure and money, a cake for a sweet young lady and her equally sweet mama.
SOOOO cute! you are a woman of many talents and i am jealous!! did you know my "dream job" would be to be a fabulous baker/cake decorator? of course, i can't cook, bake, and am not too artistically inclined so not sure it would ever work out :)
Seriously, how do you get the sprinkles on? I picture you turning the whole cake on it's side and rolling it through a trail of sprinkles, but that seems rather impractical.
I am learning about macaroons, not from my mother in my childhood but from other women and their blogs..I am not even sure I am right but I think I am learning that they are macaroons....(after seeing the beautiful colored cookies pictured on 3 "mother blogs" in one week.).. how beautiful they appear, ..... but I showed the cookbook labelled "macaroons" at TJMAX to my daughter and she responded ...yeah, but yuk... do... they... taste... good? Are they inherently deceptive?
The cake looks delicious! Looks like it's bowl-licking time in your kitchen.

ReplyDeleteGoodness -- how do your cakes leave the house intact?
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
Cake making is gratifying but very, very messy.

ReplyDeleteBy the way, it looks amazing!

ReplyDeletethe word aftermath is a cool one ... especially since you were NOT doing math (well maybe you were - with all that measuring :)
