But Wait, There's More!

As promised, I'm back today with more baking goodness to show you.  And it's not all cake!  I made cookies and cupcakes this week too; they were a wonderful change of pace.

Oh, and I made some amazing pies as well, but I'll share them with you at a later date...maybe even throw in a recipe or two. *wink, wink*

But, first, the cakes!

These were for a going away party.  Buttercream with fondant pennants and lettering.  Oh, and the phrase on the left-hand one?  A play off the honoree's nickname (JV), it read "Way to make it to varsity!"  Very fun inscription, though admittedly not mine, the client provided the idea!

This next one though, I came up with all by myself.  (I'm inordinately proud of my cleverness, I know.  My apologies.) Two golf themed retirement cakes, which also needed to include a reference to the retiree's new locale...hmm...to the drawing board!

My solution:  a "green" cake with golf club, golf ball, and tees (they even looked wood-grained!), and the pin flag marking the location of his new city on the map of Georgia.  The cakes were buttercream, with the accents being made from fondant and/or gumpaste.

Chewy, Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mmmm....look at that scrumptiousness!  Saying I was pleased that I had to make cookies this past week would probably be an understatement.  I'd been craving them, and this order came along at the perfect time.  K and I found the quality control sampling to be a major hardship, I assure you.  No worries, though, we came through it unscathed...well, unless you take into account the extra pound or two we might have gained...
