Hoilday Shopping Extravaganza

Thank you so much to everyone that stopped by Cakes by Carrie tonight. It was a great night. It is humbling to hear such nice comments about my work. I truly love baking and decorating. I have so much to be thankful for.

For tonight's event made a 2 tiered cake decorated in Christmas colors. Chocolate with candy cane filling and vanilla with raspberry filling. They were both super yummy but I think candy cane butter cream is my new favorite filling. Wow the cake pops were a hit!
It has been a busy week for CBC, thank you to my fans for that :) I had an order this week for a soccer ball cake. I have made other soccer ball cakes in the past, however this time I used fondant and was amazed how real the ball looked.

Have been playing with more gluten free recipes. People are surprised when they find out I offer gluten free. Not going to lie the 1st time I tried it I was worried. Only because I had no idea what I would end up with. To my surprise all turned out well. So often you hear people are gluten free for a verify of reasons and I love the idea of being able to provide everyone with yummy cakes. :)

My amazing husband celebrated his birthday this week. He is having the guys over for poker and the UFC fight on Sat. Have a fun poker cake idea I will whip up for that. He told me "Oh, Carrie don't worry about it a simple cake is fine". I just can't do it, I go all out on everyone else's cake. I would feel like I was cheating if I didn't do the same for him.

Thank you again to all of you I met tonight and a very big thank you to Kim and Stacey for hosting such a great event. I look forward to working with all of you soon :)
