I've attached a photo with the cake topper if you want to add them to your website. My aunt was so impressed, she said it was the best cake that she's ever had at a wedding and she goes to a LOT of weddings. She's going to be referring you from now on!

No matter how fresh your romance remains, a stale cake is no way to remember that perfect wedding day. Just follow these simple tips to keep your cake as moist and delicious as possible. First, remove any ornaments or large breakable decorations. You may choose to leave certain smaller icing decorations on the cake to retain the charm of your original design. If the cake is resting on an unwrapped cake board, replace the board with one wrapped in foil. This will prevent a cardboard taste from seeping into the cake. If the cake is resting on a plastic separator plate, it's fine to leave that on when freezing. Next, place the cake in the freezer for about 20 minutes. This will firm up the icing and prevent it from adhering to the wrap. Now you're ready to wrap the cake. Completely cover the cake with plastic wrap, making sure to wrap airtight. Follow by wrapping with at least 2 layers of heavy duty aluminum foil. The more protection you give the cake, the less chance of freezer taste or freezer burn. If desired, you can also place the cake in a storage container. One day before your 1st anniversary, begin defrosting the cake in your refrigerator. After about 2 hours, remove the cake from its wrapping and continue to defrost. Just before serving, let the cake rest at room temperature. http://www.stephaniesbakery.zoomshare.com/:blog?id=29363839b9843579432d848408912f39_48a2fff2 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:38:26 -0500 This was my first chocolate fondant 3 tier cake, and it turned out great. They requested the botton 2 tiers be fake, and planned on cutting the top cake for pictures. Then I made sheet cakes that were cut and served to their guests. They wanted the wedding cake to have the look of fondant for pics, but they wanted the cake and icing to taste great for their guests. http://www.stephaniesbakery.zoomshare.com/:blog?id=f424d89dba5db2389c129e0f084f2d1e_48a2ff12 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:34:42 -0500 This was a beautiful wedding site at the Butterfly House in Chesterfield, MO. Julie wanted a 3 tier stacked cake with alternating shapes. She chose chocolate cake with fudge filling, and white cake with fudge filling. Thank goodness she was using buttercream icing which usually holds up pretty good in the heat with it being a July Wedding! http://www.stephaniesbakery.zoomshare.com/:blog?id=bb75e2cea39ae1e3336943af06ceb6ca_48a2fde1 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:29:37 -0500 She wanted a birthday cake with a roller skate on it for her son's 10th birthday party. So I made a chocolate cake and etched out the cake design to make it stand out more. I also wanted the wheels to stand out from the cake so I used a large marshmellow for the wheels. http://www.stephaniesbakery.zoomshare.com/:blog?id=bd10ffa22f2f8df1d116d6ee444fee80_471387bc Mon, 15 Oct 2007 10:31:08 -0500 This past weekend, Oct. 13th, I did a wedding cake and groom's cake. The wedding cake was a square stacked cake with a fuchsia band around the base of each tier, and placed on a silver square plateau. The bottom tier was a white cake with raspberry filling, the middle tier was a chocolate cake, and the top tier was a white cake. The groom's cake was a coconut cake decorated to look like a golf course. I used a round silver plateau to give the cake a more decorative look. Anyone that attended the reception and either saw or tasted either of these cakes are welcome to comment below. http://www.stephaniesbakery.zoomshare.com/:blog?id=806f01542d8b950aef9dabd345dcdc67_46f144f8 Wed, 19 Sep 2007 10:49:12 -0500 Recently I was asked to make a diabetic cake. I had not done this before. I was sure with all the recipes on the internet I could find a good one. However, all the recipes I found said they were for diabetics, but reviewing the ingredients I found all of them to have some form of sugar or were high in carbs. So I created a few of my own recipes and so far have had good reviews. I am hoping to expand the list of choices in the next few months. http://www.stephaniesbakery.zoomshare.com/:blog?id=9e5d2ccbb47e5e861088720aa98a4ba1_46d43968 Tue, 28 Aug 2007 10:04:08 -0500 This Blog was set up for anyone from the Cameron Malamut's birthday party to ask questions or give reviews. The following comments are their notes. This past weekend I made a chocolate chip and M&M cookie cake for his birthday party. They wanted a Spiderman theme. There is a pic of it in the birthday photo book. http://www.stephaniesbakery.zoomshare.com/:blog?id=5d9950dc1336434bbb3c9cf9ee4059eb_469051c3 Sat, 07 Jul 2007 21:53:55 -0500 This Blog was set up for anyone from the Landers baby shower to ask questions or give reviews. The following comments are their notes. For this shower their theme was Winnie the Pooh. I made two character chocolate cakes, Pooh Bear, and Tigger. I also did a Round 12" vanilla cake w/ a berry filling.
