"Red Velvet cake.....topped with ducks for the bride, and if you look carefully, a Titanic 'sinking' just behind the W on top...for the groom.  Hey, they made it personal.  What can I say?  "

Veena Azmanov commented on Jeannette's blog post 100th Birthday Cake - and the client wants me to bake the numbers themselves. Need suggestions....
"I've made a number 30 and a number 12 so far. I do not use special pans so I baked a sheet cake for the number one, then just stack two layers and cut a small triangle to place on the top. For the zeros I would go with the oval pans. When I…"

"I would make the zeros out of oval pans - use the largest pan, then use the smallest as a template to cut out the middles (You could probably try putting the small pan in the middle during baking, but it may slide and you'd get uneven…"

"I never thought to place the numbers beside each other.  I rather like that, instead of each number on it's own separate little board.  She has requested the "one" to be chocolate/chocolate, the first "zero" to be…"

100th Birthday Cake - and the client wants me to bake the numbers themselves. Need suggestions....

Birthday Cake with Violets

Decorated in the two requested colors - hot pink and purple. Violets were the first flower that came to mind - as purple! Somehow roses didn't quite work.

Jeannette replied to Angela's discussion Forgot to put the sugar in a chocolate cake
"How about making a simple syrup and add melted chocolate - poke holes in the cake and pour the warm glaze over it.  maybe that will sweeten it a bit.   It's funny - and I have to laugh because once I baked a red velvet cake for…"
