Pyramid Cake
While there maybe some debate as to who, how, and why the original Pyramids were created I can assured I made all three of these pyramids for a 40th birthday bash this weekend. Each Pyramid is a different flavor (Chocolate, Yellow, and Carrot Cake...all with butter cream frosting.)
My husband says this is the best cake I've ever made...mainly because there was a lot of cake carved off to make the pyramids which is now residing in his belly!

Tiki God...praying for rain in CT
One of my first cakes I posted onto this blog was a Tiki Cake I did a few years ago. Here is an updated version I just made for a big 40th birthday bash this weekend. I made this new version a little more 3D and used fondant for some of the detailing work (vs. all butter cream in the previous version.)

Happy Retirement Linda and Liz!
My husbands mother is retiring after 40+ years in nursing. She spent the last portion of that as a school nurse in Schenectady, NY. Last weekend we went to a party for her and another wonderful teacher, Liz, who was retiring as well. The party was at Mallozzi's which was a beautiful venue.
I pulled together this cake trying to represent nursing and Liz's focus, reading.

Golf cake...that's a terrible lie
One of my husbands best friends had a surprise party for his 30th birthday at Golf Quest here in Southington, CT. Excellent venue if you are looking to throw a party for the golfer in your life.
I was very happy to have the opportunity to make this golf cake for the party...I would hate to look down at my ball and see that lie!
