Let There Be Light!

A co-worker's daughter graduated from high school last week. She wanted to order a cake from me, but didn't know what theme to pick. She told me a few things about her daughter and as soon as she said that she's going to UC Santa Cruz, I knew that was the theme. UCSC's mascot is the banana slug! So awesome!



I wish I could make more cakes with slugs on them. :)

The Legend of Cakes

I love video game inspired cakes! The few I've made were just for fun. So when my friend Kandy ordered a Triforce cake for her brother, I was super stoked.

The base of the cake is green because that's Link's color. Then I just cut out the Triforce logo with fondant and placed it on top. Simple, yet awesome.

Close the Books

My 10-year high school reunion is this year. I don't plan on going though. I had an awesome time in high school, but I'm still friends and keep in touch with the people I knew back then. So I don't really feel like paying money to see those other people I don't care about.

Anyways, one of my sister's old classmates emailed me about making a cake for her sister's high school graduation. I thought it was kind of weird/cool that I got to make a cake for someone who was graduating from the same high school as me, 10 years after I did. She ordered a pile of books with a graduation cap on top. This is the third time I've made this type of cake so it was easy squeezy.
