untitled I’m always dubious of some of the designs requested in our custom collections. I like my collections to be cohesive and to make sense. Sometimes, well, a lot of the time, the collections make sense only to the client and the recipient. Here are some of the custom collections we created last week. It was a big week for custom collections. A 50′s collection. This collection clearly makes sense to anyone!! This seems like an odd combination, but evidently the recipient likes Hot Rod cars, surfing, the Red Sox, and he wants a puppy. I guess that makes sense… Aaaand, this collection is for a soldier in Afghanistan. Makes perfect sense to the gift giver and the gift givee…(that’s not a real word, BTW) And that’s all that matters! This one is a no brainer. I really like this one, maybe even better than our classic VT collection! So the lesson is that it doesn’t matter if I GET the collection, it matters that it means something to the person receiving the cookies.
patternpatisserie smitten kitchen bakerella.com Cake Wrecks How does your cupcake tattoo go? | All Things Cupcake By applecupcake on July 7th, 2010 . Filed under: Tattoos . Is it pink and pretty or evil and foreboding? It surprises me how much variation we see in the different styles and takes we receive on the cupcake when it becomes art. Melissa (right) had her Tattoo sleeve designed by Dana Tyrell in Santa Rosa at Inky Cells Tattoo Co. and says that her inspiration was her sweet and loving daughter Denae. On the right, Lori from Liberty Tattoo has sent us this darker style cupcake which comes complete with skull, bones and a cherry! Where as Miss Ronda (below) from Rocking Rolling Pin has been a long time lover of cupcakes and tattoos, owning her own cupcake business in February this year. As you can see, this group really explores the diversity of what you can do with a cupcake tattoo, I really like the idea here of incorporating the spatula and whisk of Miss Ronda’s!
Chocolate and Cakes, Easy Chocolate Recipes and Great Cake Decorating Ideas Welcome! Welcome to the home of the The Daring Bakers! This is the site that lists all active members of the incredible baking group known as The Daring Bakers. To give you just a bit of a history lesson, the idea for the The Daring Bakers was born in November of 2006 when Lis of La Mia Cucina and Ivonne of Cream Puffs in Venice decided to challenge themselves by baking pretzels for the very first time using the same recipe. Having enjoyed that experience tremendously, they decided to try it again in December, this time choosing to bake biscotti. As the months went by, their baking group continued to grow, until it was finally decided that this "little baking group" had to have a name. A constantly growing group has meant a few growing pains here and there. The answer is this blog.
