Rose Cakes n' Cookies

" Wishing you all a Very Happy Thanksgiving"

I had a Cookie Demo at my store last Saturday .Demo was to make Cookies looks like Christmas Ornaments. So I used regular Sugar cookies and Decorated them with Royal Icing and painted them with edible gold dust.It was a lot of fun. The Birthday Cake with yellow roses were for my hubby's friend's dad. It was a last minute cake order. The cake was a Pineapple Cardamom Cake with French Vanilla butter cream frosting with butter cream roses . The Red Rose Cake I made just for fun. I had some leftover red royal icing so made some roses and arranged on a fondant covered Cake..

20th Anniversary Cake and a long Break.

I made this cake for the 20th Anniversary of our temple SAT. The temple has an octagonal shape and lotus carvings on many of its walls and ceilings. I was planning to make a gum paste lotus but due to my shopping and packing and all the stuff didn't get enough time.My hubby wrote a small Sanskrit poem and its translation to put on top of the cake. Everything in the cake is edible. It was a pistachio,rosewater cake with pistachio butter cream. Everybody at the temple enjoyed it.
I am going on vacation and will be back with some spooky cakes:).







Lotus Room



Sanskrit poem

Mini Tierd Cake

I have always wanted to make these mini tiered cakes,but never got the oppurtunity to make it. I have to make an octagon cake for tommorrow ,and I didn't have the octagon shaped pans. So had to bake a square cake and cut the shape. I ended up with 4 tiny triangle cake pieces. So I joined them and made it in to tiered cakes.Covered it with fondant and put some tiny fondant roses.
