New York

So August 18th I took the bus across the US to NYC.I stayed with my friend Isa and did a lot of fun stuff.It was an amazing experience and an all around amazing time and I wish I lived there and it was just great.
here's a link to my flickr account of pics from the trip and some stories.

Wedding Cakes

So on August 11th this couple Yoalnda and Chris were getting married,so they asked Alan who I make Chi Cakes for/help out with baking and stuff if he could make them a wedding cake.Alan doesn't do regular cakes,only cheesecakes,so he asked me and of course I was up to it.So They're chocolate cakes with vanilla buttercream in the center and all around them.I also made 24 mini mini cakes(but not cupcakes,through close) but Alan forgot those at the bakery.This was my first wedding cake and I hope they liked it.It's a very tried and true recipe that i've made a ton of times,so I hope so.

Banana Foster Cake and Portland

So i've been thinking about making one of these for a few weeks and I finally did tonight.It's banana-rum-caramel cake with banana rum buttercream and banana foster sauce and caramel poured a top.

I was in Portland all last week with lots of awesome ppkers and I had 2 types of vegan irish oatmeal cake(i'd never even heard of irish oatmeal cake,heh)and it was the best and there was a lot of amazing things and fun things that happened.

Peanut Butter Mousse Cake,and other old things.

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
same standard recipe veganized from my mom.i'm sure i've posted it before.


Bluberry Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream and Vegan m&ms(Whizzers)
standard vanilla cuppers from VCTOTW but with chocolate chips and bluberries.Insane amounts of frosting.I brought these to BLINGO at BLIM last month and everyone said they reminded them of Dr.Seuss.We watched "Get Crazy",it's a great movie.Blim is really awesome and Yuriko actually has a bingo machine with blowing air and everything.Oh,and people really liked the cupcakes,and I won the first bingo.I still haven't put up the wallpaper stuff though.




Peanut Butter Mousse Cake and Peanut Butter Mousse Solo

Last Saturday night I went to Joanne and Glenn's house and we had a cupcake baking party.We also went all over Richmond looking for cupcake baking tools that Joanne didn't have.But we found them all!Yay!

Pistachio Rosewater Cupcakes from vctotw.




Joanne had one for breakfast.


Cookies N Cream Cupcakes from vctotw.Mine had like 3 inched high of icing on it.





Joanne also had 2 of these for breakfast.



Joanne is also crazy and had to fold up the sides of some thing so make some box to give the neighbors cupcakes in.Then we found a container and all her pointless hard work was wasted.


But enough about Joanne,here's Glenn:

oh,and Joanne.
