Ganache…the Other Cake Icing.

ganache1

I had so many giggle-inducing puns that I wanted to use as a title that I just couldn’t decide.  Here are just a few:

  • Get Your Ganache On
  • Oh Ganache…it’s Chocolate!
  • Getcha, Getcha Ga-ga–naache (to be sung in your head to the tune of Lady Read More

Groom’s ‘Coffee’ Cake

Starbucks Coffee Cup Cake

Raise your hand out there if you can make any sense whatsoever in the morning without first ingesting coffee.

Well, aren’t you the lucky ones.

For the rest of us, who balk, nay, cry at the thought of not starting our morning with a cup of coffee, I give you the ultimate coffee tribute.  The Coffee Cake. 

The Starbucks Coffee Cake.

So, disclaimer:  Starbucks isn’t paying me a single cent to tell you that their coffee courses through my veins!  And so, when I saw this incredible cake Read More

Save Ten Percent on Personalized M&Ms!

m&m

Okay, so…m&ms are not the same thing as cake. I have not gone off my rocker. However, last spring I went to a wedding where the bride and groom gave out personalized m&ms as their wedding favor. Did it freak me out that I was chomping down on a candy coated shell with my friend’s face plastered on it? Absolutely not. Because..hello, they are m&ms, People. They melt in your mouth, not in your hand.

I thought it was an adorable way to send your guests home with a tasty treat. Rather than just throwing together coordinated wedding colors (pink and green per usual), you can also include pictures, sayings, and special dates. Of course, we all know these can work in a million different ways, not just for for weddings. Bridal Showers, Read More

Mocha Almond Fudge Avocado Groom's Cake

If you visit many trendy bakery sites and blogs (as I do), sooner or later, you are going to come across a whole list of “free” things – gluten-free, sugar-free, casein-free – and you might be tempted to say, “Hmmm, go ahead and add taste-free to that list, too.”

Well, I will have to say, respectfully, that –free doesn’t have to be devoid of culinary character.

Are you a bride – or a groom – looking to feature a vegan choice Read More

Chocolate Zucchini & Raspberry Cupcakes

raspberry cupcakes

So..not exactly a wedding cake..but I saw this picture and I couldn’t handle the loveliness of it all.  These cupcakes are zucchini and chocolate flavored (oh yes..who knew that something that sounds so wrong could be SO right?)  I would not mind eating my vegetables if they could always be ingested with chocolate.  The tiny cakes are topped with cream cheese icing Read More

Oh my ganache!

Ganache

Does anyone else have the strong desire to just whip out your finger and dig it right into this cake until your knuckle deep in chocolate ganache or is that just me?

This three tiered circle cake is slathered in bittersweet ganache and beautiful blue fondant bands around each tier. The flowers on the top and the side just make the cake pop with color.  I have to admit I love the placement of the flowers as well.. kudos to Hana and Posy in Philadelphia, Pa.  Now that we have appropriately Read More
