"OMG Alicia! Everybody loved the cake you made, people were coming up to me and wanting to know when we were going to eat the cake because they wanted to see if it tasted as good as it looked and it DID! Thanks a lot girl!"

Anniversary cake
A couple wanted a replica of their original
wedding cake (left).....
And this is my interpretation (right)

"I would recommend you in a heartbeat and easily would have paid double for the cake you made us. We've tried 5 bakeries in San Antonio (including Nadlers) and your cake is the best replica of our wedding cake we've had in our 10 years. Not only on decor, but the taste is perfection. I'm keeping your card in my wallet so I can have the info handy in case anyone asks me for a good baker. :) "

The presentation was also lovely. I have recommended her to several friends of mine and will continue to use Alicia for my future special occasions."

Add the strawberries, water, and vanilla to a pot. Cook for 10 minutes over medium-high heat, stir constantly.
Sift together the sugar and cornstarch and then stir into the strawberry mixture. Cook until the mixture is thick and the strawberries have broken down, about 3-5 minutes, stir constantly.

Color Flow Camaro

Chevy Camaro I made out of color flow. I traced a drawing I found online with color flow and then filled it in. When I put the piece on the cake I would have piped the tires with buttercream icing.

Color flow icing: (too detailed!)

I think because I reused the color flow a few days after I made it and didn't mix it good, a few days later the piece above dried like this:

Valentine's Day Cakes

Whip Cream Icing. Fondant piece in the center to prevent
color bleeding into the whip cream icing.

Stabilized Whip Cream icing:
1/2 Pint(1 cup) Heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons Confectioner's sugar
2 tablespoons piping gel
1/2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract

Mix whipping cream with sugar. Add piping gel and vanilla, mix. I would try hand mixing first.
I used a hand mixer to mix but be vary careful not to over mix. Once it seems whipped enough to mix all the ingredients that is enough. If it gets too much air from the mixer it will start to flatten and get real gross and unable to work with. Also from what I have read whip cream icing runs together so if you use different colors they may run together. I am not sure with this recipe as I have not tried it. I was on a deadline the one and only time I used it and didn't have time to experiment with it.



Buttercream, nothing special!
Used heart shaped cookie cutters to make outline on top and side of cake.
