Cozy Cake

There are those cakes that are light and fun.  These cakes play with your palate.  Then you have the cake that in its essence, it is warm and inviting like a lit fireplace.  Such is the Cinnamon Vanilla Cake.  This cake makes one just sink into a restful place.  It is soothing and you can have it with a cup of tea, hot chocolate or gourmet coffee.  This cake is the perfect "Fall/Winter" like cake but of course you can enjoy it anytime of the year.  Other cakes that fits this description is the Red Velvet Cake, and Carrot Cake.  I call these type of cakes "rustic cakes", it takes you back to a homey and comfortable place. The first cake is a birthday cake that my Sister and friend ordered and it was smelling so good, I had to make one for the family.

Cosmetology Birthday Cake

This cake was requested by a young lady that I met at the salon.  She wanted to get her friend a birthday cake that represented her future profession, cosmetologist.  She requested the scissors and comb and I surprised her with hair clips around the cake.  Her friend was very shocked, happy, and excited at this cake.  The all enjoyed the cake.  The cake is a chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream icing. The scissors, comb, and hair clips are made with fondant.

Groom's cakes

Groom's cakes have long been a tradition within the Southern Community.  I remember, very well, the groom's cakes at the  weddings that I have attended in Alabama.  The traditional chocolate cake with fresh fruit on top was the added staple to the wedding cake.

However, these cakes have come along way!!!!  The Groom's Cake is now much more personal.  It is not just made from the traditional style but it also comes from something that the groom is most passionate about. For example, if a groom's favorite past time is baseball, then a cake can either be made as a baseball diamond or a cap from his favorite team.  If his job has a particular logo or whatever his profession maybe, a cake can be made to resemble that.

No longer is the Groom's Cake and after thought.  It is now equal to the main wedding cake....and why shouldn't it be?  It's not only the brides day, but it's the groom's day as well.  As always, I have examples of some Groom's cakes for you to take a look at.  Have fun!!!!
