          Archive for November, 2007..It’s the icing on MY cake!Sunday, November 18th, 2007 A couple of days ago, I participated in the Kare 11 OnLive Potluck. Crazy amounts of fun! A few of their regulars met at the studio for some online/OnLive chat, and a potluck to follow. I knew it was going to be a lot of fun, but I didn’t know I’d be filming a commercial, OR that I’d walk out with my very own catchphrase! Surprise Party!Sunday, November 11th, 2007
Last night was my friend Mandi’s birthday. This is the woman who went from hiring me – as a complete stranger – to becoming my favorite client EVER, to the person who started me off in the HUGE change of career from flowers to cakes.. to a good friend. One of the sweetest, most fun people I’ve known, and she’s like a little sister to me. Her husband is great too, and he planned this party as a surprise for her. To be honest, I wasn’t sure he’d manage to pull it off. She’d ASKED him to plan a surprise party (kinda makes that difficult!), she lives next door to one person that was instrumental in pulling it off, and works with someone else!

Once a month, my husband and I get together with 20-30 of our friends for a big dinner party. Our friend Ken is an AMAZING cook, and it’s a lot of fun. A good variety of people go, from little kids to some elderly folks, so as far as guinea pigs go… it doesn’t get much better. These are the lucky people who were present for the birth of the Bananas Foster cake a month ago. (more…) Gorgeous New Flavor!Saturday, November 10th, 2007My husband’s best friend had his birthday yesterday, so I welcomed the opportunity to experiment with a flavor I’d dreamed up. I’m waiting on a photo of a slice of the cake, but the finished cake can be seen in my “less traditional” gallery as “Funky Birthday”. Why I forgot to take a photo of the slice is beyond me, especially given the amount of emails my Bananas Foster photo and description generated!
This cake started with my delicious Amaretto white cake as the base. I made a syrup out of peach syrup and Southern Comfort, and brushed that onto the leveled slices of the cake
