Two by two
My cousin is having twin boys! For her shower, I made an almond sheet cake with whipped chocolate ganache. The theme was Noah’s Ark. Her sister had a really cute shower invitation, so I drew most of the animals freehand based on the invite picture. The longest part was mixing all of the colors, but it was super fun to make!
The graduation cake
After finishing off the wedding cake, I still had another cake to do, for a graduation party. There is a definite learning curve for cakes – but after 3 years, I’ve started getting the hang of sheet cakes. This one should be good to put any graduating high school senior into chocolate coma:
He’s going to Penn State, class of 2012. The blue color is fresh and will darken closer to the Nittany Lion blue overnight. Chocolate cake with rich chocolate ganache filling and icing, oooooooh baby. I love how smooth ganache can be. The decorations are made with simple decorator buttercream (shortening). This was a fun quickie compared to the monster wedding cake!
