NYC: Class @ Confetti Cakes

Earlier this week, I was in New York studying with one of the top cake designers.  Yes, that's right- Elisa Strauss of Confetti Cakes.  I had the opportunity to work on decorating techniques and create my own signature Confetti Cakes gift box cake.  Check out more pics and info at Frosted Cake.

Happy Father's Day!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

This was my first attempt at a free-hand shaped cake.  A little shaky, but not too shabby.  But hey, it started as a square!!  I made this cake for my "golf bum" dad for father's day, as he watched golf on TV in fact.  It was a chocolate cake, pieced together with chocolate ganche and iced in buttercream.  Very rich, yet extra moist.  The "sand trap" is made of graham cracker crumbs, while the water was dyed piping gel.  Kinda looks like Pebble Beach, eh?

TWD: La Palette's Strawberry Tart

This week's recipe was so delicious and light.  Perfect for summer.  I did alter the garnishing, but stayed true to Dorie's buttery crust and strawberries.  I substituted the strawberry jam for peach-cinnamon.  I also made a lavender simple syrup that I glazed the berries with, instead of just sugar.  I topped off the tarts with a cinnamon-sugar creme fraiche to compliment the peach-cinnamon jam filling.  

Lavender Simple Syrup:

1/3 cup lavender

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Bring ingredients to a boil.  Remove from heat and let rest for 20 minutes.  Strain and save.
