One of the things that I don't get to do much anymore is baking, but when I do, I love to go all out. I make the hard candy decorations at least 3 days in advance so that I am sure that they are completely hardened and typically make a butter cream icing.
The first cake you see above was for my daughter's 11th birthday. She was going through her Gir phase so we threw her a Gir themed party. You can't see the front of the cake very well, but I made the letters of her name with the hard candy icing. I found the font that I wanted for her name online and traced it on wax paper, then I piped the icing on the opposite side of the paper and left it there to harden. The Gir face was also copied onto wax paper and once again piped the icing over the outline of the face, then, I just filled in the rest.
The chocolate cake was to die for. I decided to make my own version of the Chocolate Wasted Cake; I call mine-Chocolate Overdose. -Two Layers of Fudge Chocolate Chocolate Icing -2 Bags of Hershey's Chocolate morsels - Almonds -Bite size pack of Snickers for toppings -Melted chocolate morsels drizzled over the top. If you are a chocolate lover, this is the cake for you!
The white cake is simple and pretty. It is a two layer butter cake with butter cream icing, strawberry slices and chocolate drizzled over the top.
The heart cake is also a butter flavored cake mix with butter cream icing. The flower and leaves were made a week in advance from hard candy icing.
