This cake was made for 2 couples' birthdays. I was contacted and asked for a cake for 4 adults, men and women. It had to be classy since they were having cocktails at a nice restaurant.

I had a last-minute request to make a cake for a lady's birthday. She wanted a cake similar to the "Slice of Cake" picture with similar colors.

Air Force

2008-08-02T10:13:00.003+09:00

This is a cake for a promotion party. Silver-white cake and chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. Serves 40. At first I though this cake was going to be really easy. Then when I started thinking about how I was going to cut it to shape, I realized how perfect the Air Force symbol is and I actually needed to plan. So, the hardest part was making the cardboard template to use to cut the cake and draw the star. I am very happy with the way this cake turned out.

All Aboard!

Airplane

2008-07-18T21:04:00.003+09:00

This is a chocolate cake with crusting buttercream. So far, this is the most diffcult and time-consuming cake I have ever made. I was really nervous about it and sooo afraid the family wouldn't like it, but it was hit. More importantly, Jake (3) liked it a lot. The plane is 5 seperate pieces, crumb coated, frozen, then piped frosting on and smoothed with a hot spatula. And the red and blue on the plane is the new Wilton sparkle jels. I got them at Crafty Things on Kadena AB.

Basketball

2008-07-12T13:40:00.002+09:00

This one was intimidating, but I am happy with the outcome aside from the crooked line. It is yellow cake and buttercream frosting. I used 2-8" cakes and 1-6" cake for the net and shaved some scraps off and for the ball I used the Wilton wonder mold pan for dolls and shaved a little off. It was easier to see how much I should have cut off of the ball after I frosted it. Now I know. The ball was a first for me.

Slice of Cake

2008-07-11T16:56:00.004+09:00

This is a cake for a friend of mine. She likes green and she likes frogs. It is a silver-white cake with strawberry cream filling and whipped cream frosting. The blue squiggly lines are candy melts and the dark brown dots and details are chocolate ganache. The cool thing about this cake is that it works with any theme and any occassion.

Options

2008-07-10T19:57:00.002+09:00

Hello everyone. Just in case anyone is wondering about the details of the cakes I make, I thought I would mention it just to save some time.

I can make any flavor of cake you want. Anything from silver-white to chocolate-mint, even banana if that is what you like.

For frosting: Fondant, buttercream, ganache, boiled, whipped cream, cream cheese, melted candy. And most can be flavored.

Design: 3D, tiered, sheet, whatever. That is the great thing about cake...you can create so many things with it, and eat it too!

Colors: whatever you want for your theme.

I hope that just about covers it. If you want a cake and are unsure of all the details, I can help with that too. Just let me know. And the prices are all dependent upon size and cost of materials.

So, if you would like a cake, think about all of the things you want and email me or call...633-8161 the4bizjaks@hotmail.com

Kung Fu Panda

2008-07-08T15:48:00.002+09:00

This was my first time making a Kung Fu Panda cake. It was for an adult, so I wanted to try and make Po edible. He is a sugar cookie. If it were for a kid, I would have used a toy intstead. My original idea was to make the cake to resemble the Jade Palace, but that would have made the cake HUGE and the request was for a medium-sized cake, so this is what I ended up with. Any comments or suggestions would be great.

Western style wedding cakes

2008-07-05T07:32:00.002+09:00

I have had a few questions about Western-style (American) wedding cakes. I CAN do wedding cakes. From fondant to buttercream. Big to small. Just let me know what you need and I can make it for you. You can design your own or I can help and come up with some ideas with you. The options are endless. For wedding cakes, I will need 60 day advance notice (to order supplies, since our selection here is SOOO small) and a 25% deposit to cover supplies. If you have any questions, please let me know. I will try and post some pictures of wedding cakes to give you an idea of what I can do. Thank you for your support!

Doll Cake

2008-06-29T21:41:00.001+09:00

Here is a doll cake. Not the neatest, but usually these typs of shaped work better when covered in fondant and I am still tinkering with that method.

Cakes

2008-06-29T21:36:00.003+09:00

This was a cake that I was practicing on. I was trying to create bamboo and flowers that look similar to cherry blossoms.

About Me

2008-06-29T21:27:00.002+09:00

My name is Jenn. I live in Okinawa, Japan with my Husband Matt, our 2 kids Matthew and Madison, and our dog Belle. We have been here since October 2007 and so far we really enjoy living here.
I was in the Navy from September 1997 until November 2004. It was an advaneture, but not one I wanted to continue once my husband and I started our family. Since then, I have been a stay-at-home mom. For fun, I started baking all sorts of things, but really took to decorating cakes. I am no professional, but I like to think that I am pretty talented. I still have a lot to learn, but I think that is the best part about it. There is so much out there that you can do with cake. It's great!
Let me know what you think and if anyone has any ideas, tips, questions, or requests please let me know. Thanks for visiting.
