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 :)

Vroom Vroom Gluten and Dairy Free!

I was happy to get a special order for a gluten and dairy free cake. It made me so happy to be able to make a cake for little Kaden, everyone disservice a cake on their day. I was also interested to see how the cake would back, and of course taste. The batter reminded me a bit of red velvet batter as it was a bit oily. The next time I make a G&D cake I will cut back on the oil a bit. It also did not raise during baking as much as other cakes. Dew to being gluten free the cake took on a denser texture. I would compare it to brownie like. Taste was good, not as sweet as other chocolate cakes and not as fluffy but still very moist. I liked it. Even my husband liked it :) I was able to use fondant as I made sure all my ingredients were gluten free, good thing little Kaden can have sugar :)

Love my little Buzz

I started making cakes 4 years ago, I wanted to be able to make fun and memorable cakes for my son. It all started with a baseball cake, 2nd year Elmo, 3rd year bowling ball (this was my one cake wreck, I will tell that story another time) and year 4 Toy Story. I love you T!!!

Classic Pooh

This cake was made for a close friends baby shower. They are expecting their 1st any day now. Can't wait to meet the little pumpkin seen. They did not find out the sex of the baby. I love it that way.

I Crazy

Ahhhh so happy!! Able to post photos, and the best part is I did it myself. I did not have to ask my husband for help. (this is big for me)

So many people LOVE their iPod, iPad, iTouch and let me not forget the beloved IPHONE! When I was asked to make an iPhone cake I giggled a bit and said oh sure I can do that, no problem. I happen to be a lover (most of the time) of my Black Berry and because of that had only a vague idea what an iPhone looked like. I pulled up a photo of an iPhone on my Black Berry as reference and also called a friend asking all kinds of silly questions about what the phone looks like when a message is coming though and such. So this is what I came up with and I have to say it's not that bad. Alex (the iPhone lover the cake was made for) loved it, and in the end that is all that really matters.

Why can I not get photos to show up........................AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm working on it and WILL have this worked out soon. (ihope) :)

hmmmmm

I have two neat cakes to show you........but..........I'm not able to add them to this post for some reason. I'm sure it's me doing something wrong. I am really bad with computers. I think my grandmother is better with her computer them I am with mine. So with that said once I have it figured out (get Rob to help me) I will add photos of a fun IPhone birthday cake and a super cute Classic Pooh and Friends baby shower cake. Thank you :)
