STENCILED CAKE

I was teaching the Advanced Professional Baking & Pastry Class at Cooking With Class La Quinta tonight about how to stencil onto a cake.  I just realized I had never posted a picture of this cake.  So here it is, better late than never.
I love stenciling on cakes and cookies, it gives such an elegant touch.
The flavor of this cake was chiffon cake with pastry cream filling.

BABY SHOWER CAKE

I did this cake for a baby shower that was held at an art gallery.  The flavors were white cake with raspberry and lemon fillings.  My inspiration for the cake was the invitation.
Below is a couple of testimonials:

 We loved your edible art.. didn't even want to cut it... but 'boy oh boy' it was so yummmmm !!!!

Pam you are a true artist and your creation fit perfectly in the gallery! Granted the invitation was your inspiration - but there are few people who could create such a memorable (and tasty ) masterpiece

MICHAEL'S BIRTHDAY CAKE

Just a pretty cake for Michael at Thairapy Hair Salon in Palm Desert. Flavor was lemon, his favorite!!  The fresh roses on the cake are from my organic garden and they are edible.  I also made the white chocolate decorations using colored cocoa butter and Callebaut White Chocolate.

RED VELVET WHOOPIE PIES FOR VALENTINE'S DAY

These got rave reviews this year.  Red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and a fondant heart

SALLY'S HOT DOG CAKE

Sally had something to do with Hot Dog's and they wanted some incorporated onto a birthday cake for her.  I decided to do a picnic theme.  Flavors for this cake were chocolate cake with raspberry mousse and fresh raspberries.

AVA'S 5TH BIRTHDAY CAKE

I have make several cakes for Ava's mom so when it was time for Ava's 5th birthday party she wanted me to make her cake.  She was very specific on flavors and design.  She wanted white cake with chocolate fudge filling and the cake had to be a Hello Kitty design with pink as the major color.  I followed her instructions and here is the result.
She is the most adorable little girl and I hope to do many cakes for her in the years to come!!
I received this note from Ava's mom upon her sending me the picture below:

"I was talking with her this evening and said, "so, you think Miss Pam did a good job on your cake?"  Ava says, "Mommy I think she did an excellent job".
