Oil and Vinegar Cakes!

Last night Jake brought some cakes to The Kitchen [Upstairs] for a late night taste test for the staff. They were well received, so look for them to be on our menu soon! The olive oil cake is drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar and iced with a salt and pepper cream cheese icing and the balsamic cake is baked with a reduced aged balsamic and topped with the salt and pepper cream cheese icing, yum.
As some of you may know, last week was the Great American Beer Fest in Denver. Wednesday night we had the annual beer dinner at The Kitchen[Upstairs]. Perhaps that is why we have beer on the mind! Also making it's debut last night was the Oskar Blues Old Chub Cake. More beer cakes on tap (ha, ha) for the Avery OctoberFest celebration. I'm not sure what beers they will be providing us for the cakes, but we'll be sure to spread the word as soon as we find out!
Cheers

More August Wedding Cakes

Here are some pictures from Robin Proctor (http://www.robinproctorphotography.com/). She does amazing work in Colorado and New York.

Square cakes

August was the month for square wedding cakes. I have never had so many square cakes in one month! I try to keep track of trends in wedding cakes by visiting websites and reading the wedding magazines, but I was not aware of a square cake trend! Here are some pictures of a cake we did for a couple who got married at the Omni Interlocken hotel in Broomfield.

August Weddings

Here are some pictures of the wedding cake that we did for our friends Matt and Meredith in Ft. Collins. The reception was upstairs at the Rio, in the Agave room. This is also the first cake that Jake designed and decorated, Matt told Jake he wanted a modern square cake with pumpkin and wasabi squares. I think Jake did an awesome job!

Cupcakes!

Jake and I have had a very busy August. One to two weddings every weekend, not to mention a house full of visitors. Our first big event in September was 400 cupcakes for the 2009 Miracle Party (http://www.miracleparty.org/). The party raises money for children with cancer. This year's event had a superhero theme and Jake and I took that to heart. Here are some pictures that our friend, Chris Donato, took before the event.
