Gift Ideas for Valentines Day

Cake Bouquet

As promised, I am now posting the photos of the gift ideas we had in the bakeshop.  Attending to all the customer demands was very tiring indeed, but I am glad to have accommodated all their orders and special requests.

Roses Cake Bouquet

I loved browsing books at Booksale, where I found Jane Asher's Party Cakes and saw this cake design.  It was December when I experimented with making a bunch of flower cakes.  I made the red roses using fondant and flower drops and bought the other flowers.

I was also asked if I could bake a heart-shaped cake. Since my mom had that type of cake pan, I borrowed it to fulfill the request.  

 

I saw a gift box at a store and had the idea to create a special gift pack for Valentines.  I baked chocolate chip cookies, then decided to cut them using girl and boy-shaped cookie cutters. To highlight their shape, I outlined them with royal icing.  The box contains the chocolate chip cookies, a small  teddy bear, and a heart-shaped lollipop.

These frosted cupcakes topped with heart shaped lollipop and heart shaped sprinkles was a hit.

Another cake design was the dome shaped cake. 

That's it guys.  This made my days so busy causing me to have little hours of sleep.  But I have enjoyed doing all the cake designs and at the same time see happy and fulfilled customers.
