May The Fourth Be With You
Today, May 4th is "Star Wars Day." In fact, "May The Fourth Be With You" is trending all over Facebook and Twitter as people are posting fun quips about their favorite lines, scenes saying, etc. about this iconic movie franchise.
Recently, we made a wedding cake for a couple who were huge Star Wars buffs. In honor of Star Wars Day, we are posting a few pics for your enjoyment.

Mario Bros Cake, Cupcake and Cookies
Very fun cake to do. This was my second attempt at a Mario Mushroom Cake. Had a request for several characters to be on the cake, so Mario and two others made. I cannot for the life of me remember their names right now!
Anyway, the top of the mushroom was rice crispy treats. On the first cake I did like this, the mushroom top was a little more rounded, this one ended up a little flat. It was still loved by all the kids, so no worries!
The cupcakes turned out adorable. Princess Peach, Mario, coins, brick walls, grass and stars were all put on them with fondant.
The cookies were the most fun to do! I used fondant on sugar cookies. To me, they had a very simple, geometric design. To try and get the detail in them was time consuming, but I really enjoyed it.
This is the first version. At the last minute, I added a little Mario face peeking out from behind the bushes. This cake was a 10" and 6". The second cake, above, was an 8" and 6".

Updates for The Flour Shop
We are moving into a storefront in Winter Park, FL! We are in the process of redoing a Jamaican restaurant, with all it's yellows and oranges, into a cute little cake and cookie boutique. Pictures are on the way! We have ripped off a 'fake' wall to discover a black and white tile. We have removed some non-working coolers to make a cute display nook for our goodies. There is still a lot of work, but is looking fabulous so far!
In the meantime, cakes and cookies are still being made! Weddings, dances, birthdays, etc still continue and it is a pleasure being able to be a part of someone's big day in a little way!
This is my daughter, stacking a cake for me. It was taken to Tampa, for a Father/Daughter dance. Since the dance wasn't for moms, I made the three tiers separate so that she could easily stack them once they arrived. It was a yellow cake with vanilla buttercream.
This sweet cake was for Gold Coast Greyhounds. They are a Greyhound adoption non-profit. The cake was auctioned off, and brought in $60 for donations. I also had the opportunity to judge a cupcake competition, the theme of the night was Cupcakes and Quesadillas. It was a great night! If you are thinking of adopting a Greyhound or would like to donate to them, check out their website @ www.goldcoastgreyhoundsorlando.com. They are one of the most caring non-profits for Greyhounds!
This cake was a quick, fun cake for a mom who turned 60. I had another 60th birthday that same week, and I will post a pic from that on the next blog!
