Valentine's Cakes For Two

 I decided this year, that no one is going to have a Valentine's Day party. It's not what Valentine's Day's about anyway. What you really want is a romantic Valentine's Day with your significant other. So, it's time to make some small Valentine's Day cakes for two.

 So, I started out with some pumpkin spice cupcakes. I placed two on a cake board. 

I frosted the tops of the cupcakes.
And stacked another one on top.
Then I frosted one of them as if it were a layer cake. Just cover it with frosting. Smooth it and clean up the cake board.
Then I pressed some pink sprinkles all over the cake.
I cleaned up the excess sprinkles and frosted the second cake.

I pressed some gold sanding sugar into the second cake.

Then I put some white buttercream in a piping bag with a small star tip.
And I piped some tall swirls around the bottom of the pink cake.
As well as on top of the cake.
I piped a tall shell border around the gold cake.
And piped a reverse shell border around the top of the cake.

Then I placed a pink heart-shaped sprinkle in the top of each swirl on the pink cake.
And white heart-shaped sprinkles on top of the gold cake.
But how cute are these two mini cakes?
Perfect to share with someone you love.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Dress up a Sheet Cake: White on White Wedding Cake

Image
I've been thinking about all the things that have been cancelled because of Covid19 and I think the saddest is the weddings. So much expense, planning, excitement... gone. Now, I know most of you who had to reschedule your wedding will eventually have them. But I don't know how much money you would have lost because of the cancellation of your first planned wedding. So, I thought some of you might need to save money on your future wedding. So, I thought I would share with you a way you could make your own wedding cake out of a regular, plain sheet cake. I started out with a frosted sheet cake. You can frost it yourself or buy it frosted.  Then I thought I would use all of these tips, but I only ended up using the small round tip and the medium star tip. The petal tip and leaf tip weren't needed for this design.  Using a skewer, I traced two interlocking hearts as well as the monograms of the couple. In this case, T and C.  Then I traced over the letters with ...

Dairy-Free Swiss Meringue Buttercream

Image
After going through the effort of making my vanilla cake gluten free, dairy free and soy free, I needed a dairy free frosting. American buttercream is easy to make dairy free. But the family I'm making the cake for prefers Swiss meringue buttercream. I googled how to make dairy free Swiss meringue buttercream, and basically every blog I found said that it wasn't possible. They all said you have to use butter. I am not willing to accept that answer. So, I decided to experiment a bit until I found a ratio that works. So, first off, here's the recipe: Dairy-free Swiss Meringue Buttercream: 7 egg whites 2 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups dairy-free margarine 1/2 cup shortening pinch of salt 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp vanilla sugar 1 tsp butter vanilla flavoring (optional, if omitting, double amount of vanilla flavoring)  I'm using a stand mixer today with a whisk attachment.  I first whisk the egg whites, sugar and vanilla sugar, if using vanilla sugar. Then I h...

Tutorial: How to Make a 2D Simba Cake Topper

Image
 I tried to make this character 3D. I really did. But it was so terrible I just couldn't bring myself to use it.  I eventually decided to try making a 2D figure. Then I could use a template. So first, here's the image I used: First, I cut out a yellow circle to use as a background. Then I added some brown to yellow fondant and rolled it out. I cut around the template and cut out the paws. Then I added the paws cut out of white fondant. Then I used a pointed scuplting tool to press the lines of the template into the fondant. Then, removing the template, I deepened the lines to make them more visible. I added a white muzzle and a pink nose. I painted some brown food coloring mixed with alcohol into the shadows of the face and ears. Finally, I added some undiluted black food coloring to the ears, eyebrows and eyes. How adorable is this? And so clearly Simba. This is a great method for those who can't accurately draw the characters themselves. In other words, perfect for me. Wa...
