This is an 8" round two layer white cake.
The icing is the High Humidity icing recipe #1.
The poinsettia and details are MMF.

Thanksgiving Centerpiece Cake

High Humidity Frosting Link

This is the best recipe I've found for high humidity. It's from the Wilton website. It tastes good and the texture is perfect for icing and decor. It's nice and white so it takes tinting well. They have two recipes but I like this one the best.

Making Hand Scuplted "Food" for Thanksgiving Centerpiece Cake

These are some of the items that will be going on the top of our Thanksgiving centerpiece cake. They are hand sculpted out of colored rolled fondant. I will be adding details to the items when they are set.

I recently realized that the turkey was anatomically incorrect and fixed it.

We made a few more items today and added details to the existing items. We still have a couple of items left to make. We will bake the cake itself on Tuesday. We will finish up and decorate the cake on Wednesday. I'll post final pictures when the project is complete.

Note:  Click on the photo to enlarge. The quarter is to show the size of the items.

Fondant Rose detail

This is the fondant rose decoration/practice session.

Notes: Circular petals, thinned at edges, curled,  and combined to create bloom. Hang inverted or propped to dry. Each rose is to be individually crafted this way.

Blueberry Cheesecake

Hubby just LOVES cheesecake. Blueberry cheesecake is his absolute favorite. This is the cheesecake I made for him to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.  We save cheesecake for special occasions and Hubby's birthday.

The recipe is from Phili cream cheese but I've tweeked it a little. It's creamy rich and fabulous. I like to top it with fresh blueberry preserves.

When blueberries are not in season, I top it with Bonne Maman's Wild Blueberry Preserves.

Game Night Cake / De Blob

The kiddos wanted a themed cake for our game night. One of them suggested a De Blob cake.  I thought it was a fun idea and this is what we came up with.

It's an 8 inch round cake made in a 8x3" pan. The cake was yellow cake this time around. Turned out fun and yummy.

For our next De Blob cake we were thinking of making more of the characters and color trails. Maybe we can even add the paintbots that the characters get their colors from.  This is a really fun cake idea for game night or a birthday party.

Cookie Bar Tower

These are some yummy chocolate chocolate chip cookie bars I decorated with marshmallow fondant leaves.

I was practicing making fondant leaves again today. Getting better. I think I like the tiny leaves best. The larger ones need to be thinner.
