Thin Mint Brownies & Kake Pops -- St. Patty's Style

2011-03-07T19:37:00.000-08:00

I love Girl Scout time. For some reason, I get inspiration from Thin Mints. This year, my friend Dawn LaFrance told me to crush a sleeve and stir it into brownie mix. Out of luck, I'm sure, my sister had a box of Ghirradelli DARK chocolate brownie mix with chunks! Mmmmm....chuuuunks.

These cake pops are filled with yellow cake, vanilla frosting, and the luck of the Irish.

Valentine Kake Pops and Mini Cupcake Kake Balls

2011-02-05T20:58:00.000-08:00

I had help from some friends decorating these pretty cake bites. We had fun trying this fun new treat from "Cake Pops" by Bakerella which Eric got me for Christmas.

Gwyn's Birthday Kake

2011-02-05T20:53:00.000-08:00

Gwyn turned nine years old with the coolest party I've ever been to - there were henna tattoos, video games and this purple cake with an iCarly toy topper.

Happy Birthday Kaptain Carla!

2011-01-04T19:58:00.000-08:00

Carla loved her four layer M&M airplane cake. Notice there are two different airplanes. Eric did the one that Carla is holding. :-)

Chocolate Potato Chips

2011-01-04T19:52:00.000-08:00

Here are some chocolate coated potato chips for Mom.

Christmas Fudge

2011-01-04T19:25:00.001-08:00

It's been awhile since I posted something at Kimmie Kakes, but I'm still around - making and baking stuff.

Christmas is fudge time in our home. We made a new fudge this year - it's white chocolate with fruit gummies that gave a nice stained glass effect. As always, I followed my mother's famous recipe as a base.

I'm upset with Disney World on this one, though. They need to put more Mickey heads in their sprinkles that they sell.

Still a very pretty 1/4 lb. of fudge.

Jungle Kake

2010-07-06T18:22:00.000-07:00

Carson wanted palm trees on his birthday cake, so I made sure there were plenty all the way around the sides.

Hooray for Haley's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! The cake is decorated with buttercream icing and fondant details.

More Shortbread Kookies

2010-07-06T18:04:00.001-07:00

For Father's Day, I made my dad more cutout shortbread cookies (my sister ate most of the first batch... that's my story and I'm sticking to it).

This time, I took pictures of the almonds after they were crushed, then the dough all creamy becaues I LOVE COOKIE DOUGH!

Happy Father's Day, Dad!

Smokey the Bear kake

2010-07-06T17:47:00.000-07:00

I made this cake for a forester. His wife wanted Smokey the Bear and lemon cake. At first I thought of a three dimentional cake; then I thought maybe the whole body. But when I started working on it, this is what came out. I hope you like it, Kevin.

Happy Birthday!

Rubber Ducky Baby Kake

2010-03-24T17:14:00.000-07:00

Ice Kream Party Kake

2010-03-24T17:05:00.000-07:00

I made this fun ice cream cake with a specially shaped pan, strawberry cake, packed chocolate ice cream and whip topping. I'm glad to hear it got rave reviews at my husband's work.

Alex's Kake

2010-02-26T17:34:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday Alex!

This started as a lonely little 5 inch cake that needed someone to love it. Then Alex had a birthday. It dressed all snazzy in pinstripes and was the life of the party. Good job, little cake. You were yummy.

Grateful Bear Baby Kake

2010-02-24T15:42:00.000-08:00

I made this cake for my friend's baby shower. The bears looked great face on, with details like hair on his elbows and, legs and ears. On the side this photo makes them look like gorillas. Ha!

Purple, yellow, green, blue and pink bears sit on top of a two layer cake 10 inch cake with rainbow chip frosting. I love that stuff, even if it is store bought! It's what Heather requested and I can't disappoint a client.

Kake Truffles

2010-02-07T17:31:00.001-08:00

Cake truffles are made from cake scraps and mixed with icing, then dipped in chocolate. Very tasty and quite addictive!

Australia Kake

2010-02-07T17:10:00.000-08:00

This cake was carved into the shape of Australia with the nation's flag and two funny koala bears on top. I'm excited to say the fondant was homemade and tasted great! The cake is chocolate with almond-vanilla icing; it reminded me of a big Oreo cookie inside.

Happy 90th Birthday, Mutti! Mutti's family is originally from Tasmania, so it was important that I include the southeast island. All of her grandchildren got together for an Australian themed birthday party complete with music and dancing. I felt honored to be a part of this special day.

Kimmie's Gingerbread Kookies

Fun purple and green chocolate kupkakes that I made with leftover icing.

Pumpkin Kupkakes

2010-01-03T19:14:00.000-08:00

These were made in October. I love marshmellow pumpkins and needed a reason to buy a bag.

Nadia's Kake

2009-10-14T19:07:00.000-07:00

This is a fun, pretty cake I got to make for a 9 year old birthday girl. Yes - it's chocolate.

Becky's Cream Cheese and Devil's Food Kake

2009-09-11T20:02:00.000-07:00

Becky left work, and I just had to make her a cake. I asked her what she wanted and she said devil's food cake with cream cheese icing. Good pick. It was delish. The sides are covered with mini chocolate chips.

Dad's 60th Birthday Kake

2009-09-11T19:57:00.000-07:00

Thank You Picnic Basket Kake

2009-08-26T19:05:00.000-07:00

My camera is in the shop -- these are the best photos I can get of my latest cakes. Sigh. Too bad, because this cake had red and cream colored basket weave. I loved the color and the texture.

This is for the Hospice Taste of the Town stearing committee. www.hospicetaste.com We ate it at the wrap-up meeting. Thank you all for a job well done! I love it when we reach our goal.

Strawberry cake inside (I know - I've been on a strawberry binge lately).

Tiemann's Tenth Anniversary Kake

2009-08-26T18:52:00.000-07:00

This strawberry cake was dense and sweat. The icing has strawberry flavor in it, also. It is for my friends Melanie and William Tiemann who celebrated their 10th Anniversary recently. The lace was a bit more difficult than I imagined (my wrists turned red) so I started a flower pattern. I think it came out nice. It smelled sooo good, and since Mel and Bill are super-duper friends...I ate a piece before I gave it to them. Isn't that terrible?

Strawberries & Kream Kake

2009-07-12T07:53:00.000-07:00

A pretty strawberries and cream kake. This one has a light, fluffy icing and a creamy filling with chopped strawberries.

Don't You Just LOVE Chocolate?

2009-05-21T20:10:00.000-07:00

I like the tall layers of this little 6x5 cake. All chocolate, of course. The curls are gum paste.

Tinker Bell Kake

2009-05-21T19:53:00.000-07:00

It's Haley's 3rd birthday! I had the honor to bake her cake. The party theme was Tinker Bell, so I really had fun decorating it. One butter cake and one chocolate cake are layered on the inside. The rocks and flowers are made of fondant. The water is made with a sparkly blue gel. I hope she loved it. :)

Zebra Kake

2009-05-06T19:56:00.000-07:00

This was going to be sliced up and sold at a church yard sale/bake sale, but unfortunately we had to back out at the last minute.

The lucky folks that work got a wild treat in the morning.

Teddy Bear Kake

2009-04-18T13:19:00.000-07:00

This little bear is for Melanie, who is currently busy baking her own bundle of joy.

Happy Valentine's Day! Have a big 'ol kandy kake.

2009-02-12T21:02:00.000-08:00

This kake is huge! There are dark chocolate cakes inside, and vanilla icing.

Famous Circuit City Kake

2009-02-10T18:18:00.000-08:00

I made this quickie cake last minute for Verizon Wireless/Circuit City goodbye party. I made icing, but then ran out and had to use store bought for the actual design. Still tasted really good...and made it onto the 10 o'clock news!

Mini Chocolate Tower Kake

2008-11-30T10:18:00.000-08:00

Oooh la la! Again - all chocolate kake with sinful looking dark chocolate roses. This isn't a full sized 3 layer kake; just a little one for a small party.

Good 'ol Fashioned Bundt Kake

2008-11-25T21:06:00.000-08:00

Orange pecan praline kake. Veeeery moist; like honey. :-P I made two of them.

Everything-Chocolate Fall Kake

2008-11-25T20:45:00.000-08:00

What this kake may lack in detail is totally made up for on the inside - under the chocolate fondant is a creamy chocolate icing and the most perfect chocolate kake. I am mourning the fact that I will not get to eat it.

Landscaped Kake

2008-10-30T18:10:00.000-07:00

OK, I have to explain this one. This is a retirement cake for our maintenance guy.

We're looking at the campus buildings where I work. There's a white building and a t shaped building (three dimensional). And that gray part is the parking lot. The rest of it is a pond with waterfall, a canopy, and the rest of the gardens. The black dots are foot prints.

The people at work got it, our retiree was impressed, and it tasted yummy so my job here is done. :-D

Boss's Day Kake

Gift Kakes

2008-09-23T16:58:00.001-07:00

The pink one is my first kake made with fondant icing. I think it's pretty. :-D The purple one was requested for a five-year-old's princess birthday party. So much fun!

Flutter Kakes

2008-08-28T19:53:00.000-07:00

This is my first attempt at chocolate candy. I think they came out well, except for the antennas which were too delicate and most didn't make it.

Weeeeeeee!

2008-08-14T22:17:00.000-07:00

Trey comes to visit - Trey gets a rollar coaster kake.

Sunny Kake

2008-08-14T21:59:00.000-07:00

The sunflower kake made with Peeps seems to be everyone's favorite and was super easy to make.

Sick Alien Ant Farm Kake

2008-08-14T21:35:00.000-07:00

This cake is for George who moved back to NY just when he was realizing how sweet Greensboro is. He wanted the rainbow chips icing because it's the best and I totally agree. We miss you, George!

Birdie Basket Kake

2008-08-14T21:31:00.000-07:00

This is the "grand finally" - kind of like your exam at the end of Wilton II.

I took it to my last hospice patient/family volunteer class. I hope everyone enjoyed it - they are a special group of people.

1st Kake

2008-08-14T21:16:00.000-07:00

This is the first cake I made in cake decorating class. It's basic Wilton.
See how messy the table is?

My sister's friend was having a baby shower, so they ate it. Heard it was tasty.
