Whiskey Bottle Cake

Around here many of our guys drink Lord Calvert whiskey. It is relatively cheap but still tastes like they want.


My friend ordered her husband a Lord Calvert cake. This is how we delivered it!


One full yellow cake recipe, two batches of cream cheese icing, and a little fondant later.
Ta-dah!

Canadians spell it "whisky," but I didn't want to have to explain myself all night about why it was spelled funny. So I corrected it for my mock label.

Happy 41st Birthday Glenn!


Luckily my friends at the local liquor store were happy to help me out with an appropriate box!

A "Little Layer" Cake

My family calls these "13 layer" cakes, but for me it turned out to only make 10 layers.
A pretty big feat for my first attempt, and I decided to change the name of my recipe, this is from now on a "Little Layer" cake. That way I can end up with however many layers I get, and not feel like the count is off!


So yellow cake "little layers," and my Nana's cooked fudge icing.


I actually got to eat some of this one, it is very rich, but SUPER yummy!
Hope I get to do another of these soon.

A Special Surprise Cake

This is a birthday cake with a special surprise.


I had never done an orange (colored) cake before, I found the white to be a nice compliment.


White (homemade marshmallow) fondant flowers and piped design to give the sides "flair."

Had an unfortunate piping accident with the exclamation points, covered that up with flowers.


A marshmallow fondant rose to complete the design...


And, surprise!
This is a FL Gators cake for the birthday girl,
blue velvet cake and orange (colored) cream cheese icing.
Yum!

Cookie Cake

My first ever cookie cake!


Chocolate chip cookie, & cream cheese icing.
The birthday girl prefers frozen margaritas, with no salt on the rim.
Party on!
