cakes

fondant bow

,

two-tier chocolate cake with buttercream icing,

i also made all the flowers with royal icing

my elephant cake

i made this for a little boy's first birthday
without much of a template of any kind,
so it's not the most impressive thing, but it was fun!
 random bit of info: the tail is a chow mien noodle covered in frosting

gluten-free, sugar-free, yeast-free pizza dough

1 c.  soy flour
water
olive oil
1 t. italian spices
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda


i didn't exactly measure the oil and water, but if you have done any baking at all, i'm sure you will be able to figure it out.  be sure to spray the pan with some oil before rolling out, because it will stick.  even though it may not be the best, i liked it.

a few of my desserts

brown butter almond cake, mascarpone mousse,
candied orange and wine plumped dried cherries

raspberry and blueberry tart

roasted pineapple, pina colada panna cotta,
homemade blood orange sorbet, with shortbread 
i called it the Tropical Trio

a few of my creations

none of these are specialty cakes, but i do like the way they turned out
