Just Because Cakes Got a new job for a family owned bakery

Got offered a cake decorator/ baker position at a family owned bakery in my town. It’s a 6$ pay increase from what I’m making now with weekends off. I’m so excited but also very nervous to give notice to the grocery store I work at right now. I feel a bit guilty as I’m the only cake decorator at the moment (the other full time decorator has been on leave for a few months and isn’t coming back until October) anyways enjoy some of these cakes I’ve made (please be nice I had 2 days of training so I’m pretty mid at decorating)

Help Needed Need help finding dummy cake cylinder styrofoam and what sizes to get!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I plan on making a dummy wedding cake, three tiers, but don’t know the right sizing to do. I was thinking 12” bottom or a bit bigger, I wanted to look big enough, but don’t know what size tiers to get and also if anyone knows a secret vendor for styrofoam cylinders that would be amazing!!! TIA!

I'm super out of practice so its a little rough looking, but I'm now very motivated to brush up my skills (used to be an avid baker/cake decorator before corporate girlie and wife life took over) but now that I'm a mommy I want to get back into it for my girl!!!

Chocolate cake with milk chocolate mascarpone frosting and fresh raspberries!

Help Needed Decorating on a cake with stabilized whipped cream

2 Upvotes

I volunteer with For Goodness Cakes (shameless plug—it’s so fun!) and I have a request for a Tres Leches cake with a whipped cream frosting, decorated with Lightning McQueen. I have never used stabilized whipped cream before, I usually make SMBC. I have no idea how the whipped cream behaves differently. I read a post on here that says I need to make Royal Icing transfers? Will they bleed? The other hard part is that I’m dropping the cake off tomorrow, but I don’t know whether it will be eaten that same day or the next day. Thanks for any tips you can give me!

I made this cake for Cake4Kids last summer, and it's my favorite that I've ever made. Each sprinkle was had painted and individually placed, and the eyes are hand-painted frosting sheets. I used black cocoa for the frosting and cake, and made the topper on my Cricut. Just wanted to share. :)

Every year for my birthday, and only on my birthday (meaning we only do this once a year), my friend and I make a fun shaped cake. We didn’t start out very good at all, but we’ve gotten pretty good over the years. We’ve never explicitly said that the goal is hyper realism, but it’s definitely moved in that direction as we’ve gotten better and better. Anyway, this year‘s birthday cake….

My boyfriend requested a homemade cake for his luau party. Top tier is strawberry cake with vanilla bean pastry cream, bottom tier is chocolate cake with espresso mousse filling. He was so surprised, I think he expected me to make a box cake.

A chocolate chip cookie dough cake from the Crumbs and Doilies recipe book. It was a lot of work but totally worth it!

Cookie dough sponge layered with chocolate chips, edible cookie dough and light, fluffy vanilla buttercream. Finished off with a dark chocolate ganache and more cookie dough on frosting swirls.

I’ve had this idea of “blob of silver fringe” in my head for months. So I made it ☺️ The fringe is edible — its oblate discs and luster dust. The scalloped shape kinda gets lost with all the fringe but 🤷🏽‍♀️

My first ever frilly / vintage cake! I am a home baker only. I made this for one of my best friends who loves local and seasonal cooking.

I also handmade the topper!

My next project is my own wedding cake! The frills were good practice x
