I referred to my January bake for 28 plus individuals as baking Avatars, as each one different yet edible, like the group was. Any similarity between the individual and the avatar was not intentional but it was fun. Here's a picture of the full crowd of Avatars.

Here's some closeups of this January bake.

January 2025 saw me volunteering for a bake for 28 plus individuals who were volunteers themselves of different backgrounds and ages. Accepting this task made me decide of gluten free ingredients and as sugar free I could make it. Here's what I wrote as the ingredient list for all attending this bake event.

This year an anniversary cake was created. "Mostly edible", as is my custom-the meeting hands were not edible. The sugar flower was edible but had wire holding it together. A 6x6x6" deep chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling four layers. Covering this cake was modeling chocolate with gold leaf attached. The couple took a trip in late June to Helsinki, Finland which became the theme of this cake. Not many more pictures were taken because of the hot local weather melted the white modeling chocolate bag which was positioned on the front.

One day last week I made a Swiss vanilla meringue buttercream geode cake with colored blue sugar crystals, gold leaf flakes, all edible. Inside was my deep chocolate cake.

After two years I'm going to bake again. I'm going to bake up about 40 plus pumpkin spice cupcakes with vertical layers with orange infused white cream cheese icing. The orange zest will hopefully add a little acidity to this sweet desert. A stripe of caramel will also be added to the cream cheese. Take note my cake testers, as this will be coming your way shortly. Some toppers will come later. Cupcakes will be out by November 12.

Sorry but no new cakes yet for 2021. Been busy with construction concerns and then there was the dreaded COVID. I think a lot about different cake designs though.

A short while ago I was able to create another special cake. All my cakes are special for special people, of course. This was the second time around. Back in 2014 I made my first one. Since I was able to make two others but the second was a sport Jaguar. I think the pictures of this one are somewhere on this site.
Now here is a better version of a 1953 Eldorado Cadillac. What helped greatly was a tutorial I found through the Craftsy platform on the internet But here it is. Flavoring was old fashioned vanilla cake with Caramel icing. The exterior is fondant. Seats, tires, and bumpers: modeling chocolate. No car mechanic I am but I try to bring some 'good tasting' memories to a few.
