Our dear Children's Librarian, Paula, was recently promoted to another library in our system. Our library was so sad to see her go. She does amazing storytimes for children and the community has really loved her services. I learned a lot from her as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In order to honor all that she has done, the staff put together a nice little going away party. I made the cake. I decided to make a cake appropriate for a Children's Librarian. I had many children's book covers printed on edible image paper and molded some famous children's books characters out of fondant to give the cake more life. I included books and characters from <em>If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, The Giving Tree, Eloise, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Cat in the Hat, and Rainbow Fish. </em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She really enjoyed her cake and I was happy to do something nice before she left our library. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

My dear friend Christine, asked me to make a little something special for her parent's 40th wedding anniversary. I have known the Williams' for quite a few years and nothing would make me happier than doing something nice to celebrate their very special celebration. She planned a surprise party for them and it was so fun to see their faces when she opened the door to her home. They were genuinely surprised! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For their party I made a 10" chocolate fondant cake. We decided to go with the ruby anniversary theme and make the colors read and white. I also made chocolate cake pops to match. I wanted to try a new design. Something different from other cakes I have made in the past and I knew I wanted to use flowers. This is what I came up with. I received so many compliments that my head barely fit through the door when I left! It was such a great day and I was so happy to be a part of it. </div>

Little Audrey turned 1 this week! I can't believe it. I feel like just yesterday I saw her little hands and feet and now she is walking and smiling and being so cute and fun. Her momma, Lupe asked me to make Minnie Mouse themed cupcakes and a little smash cake for her. I thought they came out pretty cute and everyone at the party seemed to liked them too. For the cupcakes, I made chocolate and banana flavored and the smash cake was also chocolate. </div>

Her wonderful husband, Danny, ordered her birthday cake from me and he said she wanted a Mexican themed cake. I decided to fully load it with Mexican-ness. This included Dia De Los Muerto skulls, a papel picado banner, white chocolate framed images of Frida Kahlo, Loteria cards, Mexican flowers, and Mexican ceramic tiles. The cake itself was red velvet with cream cheese frosting. I loved the colors on this cake and how pretty and feminine it was. I was happy that Lupe liked it too.<br />

The ceremony and reception were beautiful and the burlap and lace theme was very cute and perfect for the venue. I had a great time watching these two get hitched and I was honored that they asked me to make their wedding cake. <br />
<br />
For the cake, I made four tiers that went along with the burlap and lace theme. Each layer was a different flavor. There was a red velvet layer, vanilla and strawberries, and vanilla with chocolate ganache and bavarian cream. I added fresh flowers provided by their florist and initial toppers that they provided for me as well. You can see more pictures here on their photographer's blog (<a href="http://www.nancyorozcoblog.com/2012/09/19/downtown-fullerton-villa-del-sol-wedding-vanessa-ehren/" target="_blank">Nancy Orozco Photography</a>).<br />

I got married to my wonderful man, Javier in June. We had gotten engaged in Italy a year and a half ago and had been planning our wedding since. We decided to get married at the Los Angeles Arboretum in Arcadia, CA and then have the reception at our home. We spent months fixing up our backyard, planting new grass, flowers, etc. Looking back, I cannot believe we pulled all of that off. I am adding our wedding to my baking blog because I made our wedding cake. Yes, I know, I am crazy, but it was really the only time the week before that I was relaxed and calm and I had no mishaps which was great! (and very lucky).<br />
<br />
For the cake, I made four tiers. The layers were: Chocolate, red velvet, vanilla with strawberries, and banana. I decided to use fondant so that it would be super white. Our wedding colors were turquoise and yellow and I used those colors as the theme for the cake. I made gum paste yellow roses, white bud flowers, and turquoise trim for each layer. I was so happy with how it turned out. I was even more happy with how beautiful the cake looked in pictures by our photographer <a href="http://shannonleeimages.com/" target="_blank">Shannon Lee Images.</a> You can see other photos from our big day <a href="http://shannonleeimages.com/blog/2012/07/elizabeth-javier-are-married-whittier-ca/" target="_blank">here.</a> <br />

My friend, Helen, asked me to make a Dora the Explorer themed cake spread for little, Nevaeh. I made a two tiered cake, small smash cake, cake pops, and sugar cookies. I was really happy with how everything came out and I think little Nevaeh was happy too!</div>

I have had quite a few cake orders these past few weeks. The first up is a quinceanera cake for my friend Maribel's sister. This majority of this cake was red velvet and the frosting was buttercream. </div>

This cake was ordered by my friend, Erandy. She was hosting a bridal shower for her friend and she requested a Mexican themed cake. I decided to do a papel picado decoration with a simple red rose. I think it is simple but pretty. <br />

So as always, I have a lot of blogging to do! I have been a bit busy lately, so sorry for MIA these past few months. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This wedding cake was for my friend, Helen's, co-worker, Elizabeth. She got married in April. Her colors were black, white, and red. This cake was one of my first tiered wedding cakes even though I have done other tiered cakes before. I was super happy to do it. The only issue I had was the delivery! 45 miles one way in pouring rain. But I made it successfully and it looks like Elizabeth and her husband had a wonderful wedding. Congratulations!<br />

I took an Easter Cake pop class at Decor, which was the first class I had taken since Christmas. I was too busy with school so it felt good to be back! I forgot to take pictures of the individual pops since I gave them away before I could eat them all! We made a bunny, birds nest, chick, cross, basket, and an egg. Looking forward to taking more classes now that I am done with school!</div>

These cakes were made for a very talented friend named Erandy. She is a professional hair and make-up artist and you can see her work here at <a href="http://www.erandymoreira.com/index.html">http://www.erandymoreira.com/</a>. She has asked me to make two special cakes. One for her son, Elijah, who was turning ten, and the other for her husband, Beto. They share a birthday weekend. I made the guitar for her son and the Lakers cake for her husband. The guitar was the most technically challenging, since I wanted to make an actual guitar. I used my fiance's, bass guitar at home as an example to follow. Covering the cake in fondant was pretty tricky, but it came out well and the details make it look more authentic. The strings are made from gum paste that I rolled out thinly. I think it came out well even thought it was not really to scale.</div>

For the Lakers logo, I printed out the logo on paper and then used an Exacto knife to trace the logo onto fondant. A little difficult and next time I think I would use gum paste for something so detailed. But in the end, I was pretty happy with both results.<br />

He really likes elephants, so I decided to make one out of fondant to put on top. This is a simple but really cute cake and I think he really liked it. <br />

I was sad that I was not going to have time to make the motorcycles and decorations out of fondant or gumpaste. So I had to resort to buying premade items to place on the cake. This was a fun cake to make. I wanted it to look like a landscape scene and I think that I managed to pull it off. <br />

My friends Lupe and Danny are really loyal customers. Their support means a lot to me and so I was very excited to hear that Lupe wanted to surprise her husband with a cake that represented his love and devotion for the Pittsburg Steelers. This was a fun cake to make even though it gave me a real hard time! I loved how the colors came out and my fondant appliques ended up looking decent. I think he was happy to have this cake for his birthday. Thanks friends!</div>

I should have posted right after making this cake. It has been too long to remember all the details in this one, but it was such a fun cake to make and being so technically challenging, I ended up have zero issues which was a surprise. It is a two layer cake with a really wide top layer to support the gum paste tiki mask. Almost everything was made with gum paste so that it dried hard to support the detail. All the flowers are gum paste as well. </div>

I am a little behind in my postings. I know about 2 months behind, but with the holidays and school finals I was a pretty swamped. In November I took a class on carving out cake into different shapes. This one was for a pumpkin. I was surprised at how relatively easy it was to do. I have carved a few cakes before (like the purse cake) and this was very similar. It was a little difficult to get the really round shape though. We also tried a new icing technique. Instead of spread icing over the cake with a spatula and smoothing it on, we piped it on to get those nice bumps that make the pumpkin look more realistic. I ended up using this cake as our Thanksgiving centerpiece. It really brightened up the table. My niece had a great time devouring it after dinner was over.<br />

I asked her to design a logo for me and she did an amazing job. In exchange for her services, I provided some treats for the opening night of the Roomination exhibit that her graphic design department was hosting. This was a show that portrayed the graphic design process and methods used for creating the final product from students in her program. It was a really cool show and I was happy to be able to see it as I delivered the goodies. <br />
<br />
For the opening, I made a variety of cake pops and mini cupcakes in the color palette of the show's poster. They were a big hit and I was happy to see so many people enjoying my treats. <br />

There we met up with some of Javier's friends. I had known Israel for quite some time, but I met his "date" Alejandra and I could already see the love starting to form between these two. A year later (at Lupe's wedding), I learned they got engaged! Now, another year later, we attended their beautiful wedding in Fallbrook. Alejandra had asked me to make cake pops as favors for her 170 guests. I must also mention that she was my very first paying customer as well! (I made <a href="http://bettysbatterblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/welcome.html">Israel's birthday cake</a> last year and the rest is history!) I made chocolate and red velvet ones and dipped them in chocolate and sugar pearls to match their wedding colors. I must say when I went to deliver them, I instantly gasped at how gorgeous the reception and venue was. Now I have been to many a wedding in my day, (baking for them, helping Javier photograph them) and this one stands out as one of the most beautiful. I was so pleased to have such an elegant backdrop for my treats. It made me feel fancy! The night was truly enjoyable and I had no mishaps transporting almost 200 chocolate treats in 80 degree weather with an almost 2 hours car drive :) My photo of all the pops in their boxes does not want to attach for some reason, but it was an impressive sight in that car! Anyway, I wish Alex and Israel all in the best in their new lives together and thank them for including me on their big day. <br />

I think this was my favorite class so far. I have seen so many awesome skull cookies popping up online and I was envious. So when I saw this class being offered by Michelle I signed up right away. It was a fun class. Again there were tons of people so I saw that as my opportunity to get creative and let me imagination run. I was able to make 6 cookies. A few designs I copied directly from Michelle's examples which I have a picture of as well. The others I made thinking of images I have seen online or from one of my trips to Mexico. I think they came out great. The only problem was that by the time I photographed my own, the color started to spread (It was almost a week later!). I also think my royal icing was a little thin so that may have caused it as well. Anyway, enjoy!<br />

This time I brought my niece with me. I've been wanting to spend time with her and I thought this would be a great way to bond. She really enjoyed the class and had something to take to school to share with her friends. This class was a lot of fun as always. We learned how to make a mummy, ghost, witch, eyeball, cat, and pumpkin. I did not get any pictures of my niece's pops but they looked better than mine! I have also been experimenting with new backgrounds and ways to take my pictures as you can see in these pictures. <br />

This was a fun class and I had never before made a topsy turvy cake. The process was much easier than I had thought, although much more messy too! This class was packed as you can see from the pictures. I learned a lot of new techniques and got so many new ideas about decorating a cake that I had never really thought of before. We made ghosts, spiders, pumpkins, and clouds to add on the cake. I thought the cake came out great!<br />

I have a killer cookie bar recipe that I knew would work great for it. I made a 12" cookie and decorated it with buttercream frosting. I kind of feel like making one for myself! It smelled wonderful!<br />

I have been taking a few classes at Decor Party Supply with Michelle Scianni and her mom Denise. I love taking these classes because they are all so different and fun and they are so talented. I have a lot going on in my personal life, so these classes are my way to escape that all for two hours and lose myself in doing something fun for me. This class was on making a fall themed cake. We learned how to stripe our frosting bags with different colors to get a colorful leaf. We also made acorns and pine cones to add on top. It was fun class and I learned some techniques that I can apply to other cakes. </div>

This one was for her uncle, Frank and his wife Hilkka. They had a little boy named Magnus. This time I made a cake and 4 dozen cupcakes, red velvet and chocolate. Again, Helen did a beautiful job decorating and planning the shower. I was not able to get any of own pictures before Helen picked up the cakes so these are from her Facebook page and they're beautiful! Thanks Helen!!<br />
