No, seriously, I do. I LOVE cake, you really have no idea how much....

Welcome to my new blog. I should let you know that my passion for cake began in the winter of 2006 after the birth of my second son. I found a cake that I love and then ate it every day....EVERY day...I kid you not! From there I began looking at cakes in whole new way and found that I really appreciate a good cake. I have recently started a cake decorating course and hope one day to be the maker of my own delicious cakes; to make them not only for myself but for others to enjoy too (yes! I have finally decided to share!!). Follow me in my journey from cake connoisseur to cake decorator!! Enjoy...I know I will!!

A woman obsessed!!!

With Beer!!!! And not the drinking kind...'cause really the thought of drinking beer makes me vomit in my mouth a little. The kind I am obsesed with is the cake variety of course! Since deciding to make Josh a cake resembling a beer bottle, I have been constantly thinking of how I can acheive this. Also, I wanted to model it after his favorite beer, (although at 18 and completely underage he should not be drinking at all..and doesn't in my presence)...and when I asked "what's your favorite beer" his answer was "an open one"...funny funny boy! Turns out he is partial to Coors Light. Thankfully its not something we stock in this house (Beer = Disgusting) but he did "get a taste for it" (as he says...) at the trailer ( I could make all sorts of trailer park jokes here right now, but I will hold off...back to cake!).

So...what I am thinking so far....a 9x13 cake as the base...chocolate of course! And then I will ice that with the buttercream vanilla flavored icing that I make (delicious!) and then I am going to make round cakes to use the round edges to make the bottle so that the bottle looks in more 3D laying on the one side of the cake. I have a frozen 8" rond cake in the freezer so I will be attempting to practice this at some point today. Lets hope it works!!
