Rubber Ducky, You’re the One

So my hubby thought it would be a good idea for me to start blogging about baking (title of this post is for him, he’s been singing that ever since I started planning this cake).  I think he likes bragging about me, so of course I have to do all the work!  ;-)   But I love him dearly.  Here’s my first blog entry.  Over the last 3 years, I have developed a pet peeve: crumbs in my icing.  I’ve learned for the most part how to avoid this – chill the cake, crumbcoat, etc.  Every once in awhile though, a few of those little crumbs like to show themselves (particularly when I’m moving too slowly and the cake starts getting warm) and IT MAKES ME MAD!

 Ok, not really.  It’s really not that big of a deal.  But it is a cute play on words. 

 Anyway, here’s one of my more recent cakes, a “rubber” ducky cake for a baby shower:

Vanilla cake filled with fresh lemon curd and covered in cream cheese icing.  The duckies, faucet, and tile dots are made of fondant.

 Challenge of the day: realizing the top tier was too heavy and having to maneuver it off to stick in straw dowels.  And poor little ducky’s head fell off prior to leaving the house.  He got a neck brace.
