Brian's 40th Birthday

Brian's celebrating his 40th Birthday, and his wife Jamie asked if I could make a cake and some cupcakes for the occasion.

Brian really likes music and really enjoys The AVETT Brothers music. Jamie and I decided on a 10 inch square chocolate cake made to look like one of The AVETT Brothers CD's. The cupcakes are also chocolate that are topped with butter cream and fondant decorations.

Happy 40th Birthday Brian!

Thanks Jamie!

Rob's "Rob"

Yes it's that time again...Rob's birthday, so here it is, chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and of course chocolate shavings.

Thanks again Kelly!

Michele's Chocolate Fudge Raspberry Cake with Ganache

I think the title pretty much sums it up, but that is just what I made for Michele's Birthday.

The cake is a Chocolate Fudge cake that has a layer of Raspberry filling. The entire cake is topped with a chocolate buttercream and then the top and what ran down the sides are topped with ganache.

Happy Birthday Michele!

Thanks Sue!

"Rob" for Poms

I had the opportunity to make this "Rob" for the Pomeroy's. I think that a few members of the family have been dreaming of this cake since I first made the original Rob in January. So here it is in all its chocolate glory. (Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream topped with chocolate shavings)

Enjoy!

Chocolate Cake AKA the Rob

A few years ago when we moved from Nebraska to God’s Country my parents and their dear friends started an annual trip to Door County.  Last year due to unforeseen circumstances it didn’t happen that my parents were here, but their friends came and they brought their daughter and new grandson.  Their daughter just happened to be one of my dearest friends from elementary school.  Well this year the tradition continued and my parents and their friends are here with their daughter and grandson. 

It happened to be my dear friend Alison’s birthday on the 27^th so we celebrated tonight with a “Rob”.  If you aren’t familiar with the “Rob” it is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and then chocolate shavings on top…only for those who truly love chocolate. 

Happy Birthday Alison! 

Thanks MaryBeth! 

Enjoy!
