Lincoln Nebraska Special Event Cakes | S’more Cake | Oktoberfest Cake

S’more Cake, a Lincoln Nebraska Special Event Cakes Bakery, has created this delightful cake that is perfect for any fall occasion, whether it’s a birthday, football game, family reunion, wedding or anniversary. This two tiered cake displays the harvest of fruits that are made from delicious homemade marzipan and accented with colorful food powder. The two tiered cake is covered with an orange blossom flavored edible fondant and is a delicious pumpkin spice cake, which happens to be the favorite of our grandson, Octavius. The filling is a burnt orange buttercream. Yum!

I enjoyed the challenge of creating these fall fruits to resemble the originals as close as possible. The inspiration for this cake came from a book by Sylvia Weinstock, Sweet Celebrations, The Art of Decorating Beautiful Cakes. She is a great cake decorator from New York who has sent her designed cakes all over the world. Her story is wonderful to read and the pictures so much fun to look at. What an inspiration!

The fall season is here and I look forward to the seasonal dinners with our family. We have added a new grandson, Sawyer, to our number this year, so it’ll be great to have another baby in the house for Christmas. Our family is scattered all over the states and we always cherish our precious times together. One of those times is our annual pumpkin patch gathering when the grand children pick out their favorite pumpkin from our pumpkin garden. I can smell the cinnamon rolls and chili now!

Oktoberfest Cake with a harvest of fall fruits, ready for that special event!

Birthday Cakes, Special Event Cake

Lincoln Nebraska Bakery / S’more Cake / Sadie’s Birthday Cake

Lincoln Nebraska Bakery / S’more Cake / Sadie’s Birthday Cake

S’more Cake, a Lincoln Nebraska Bakery, created a pretty cake for a very special little girl on her fourth birthday. This fun cake was made for Sadie and her friends at her day care and requested by her mother to display her favorite characters. Characters from Frozen were designed from fondant and placed on the top of the cake. On the side of this 10 inch cake were five of the My Little Pony’s, cut out from colorful fondant.

This special birthday cake was made with two layers of my favorite light, white cake recipe. The filling was made with cream cheese, white chocolate, and orange blossom flavored swiss meringue. The cake was then frosted with the orange blossom swiss meringue and decorated with rainbow colored fondant. The Frozen characters, Elsa, Anna, and Olaf, were created with flavored fondant on popsicle sticks to hold their shape. The girls are dressed in their outfits with matching wraps and long braids. Olaf was balancing on one foot in the “snow” made from white fondant and coconut. Elsa and Anna were placed behind Olaf, to watch his antics in the “snow”. A rainbow was placed on the side of the cake and featured five of the main characters of My Little Pony’s, prancing around the outside of the cake.

I really enjoyed the creation of this cake and was very happy to know that it would be enjoyed by Sadie and her little friends that morning. Happy Birthday Sadie!

Birthday Cakes, Special Event Cake

Lincoln Nebraska Special Event Cake/ S’more Cake/ Zach’s Beer Mug Cake

Lincoln Nebraska Special Event Cake/ S’more Cake/ Zach’s Beer Mug Cake

My son Zach requested S’more Cake, a Lincoln Nebraska Special Event Cake Bakery, to design a beer mug cake for his birthday August 1. He had enjoyed the St. Patrick’s Hat Cake that I posted on my March blog, so this was what he wanted. The cake was made with three layers of delicious red wine chocolate cake and two layers of large chewy chocolate chip cookies. The frosting was a rich cream cheese buttercream flavored with vanilla. This fun cake was filled with chocolate fudge and cream cheese buttercream. The design was completed with lemon flavored fondant, tinted with yellow gel to look like beer in the mug as well as beer pouring from the beer can. The beer can was an authentic empty beer can and held up with a dowel that was inserted into the cake at an angle. Gum paste fondant was then layered up from the cake to cover the dowel. Granulated sugar was pressed into the beer mug to resemble a frosted mug. Homemade vanilla bean ice cream and salted caramel chocolate sauce topped this delicious birthday dessert perfectly.

Picnic dinner of BBQ ribs, roasted corn on the cob and cole slaw was served to family and friends. The evening was perfect , lamps were lit and we were able to enjoy a beautiful evening on the deck. Then, the birthday boy received his special cake, gifts and cards.

It’s always a joy when I see faces all lit up when they look at a great cake!

Lincoln Nebraska Bakery |S’more Cake | Grandchild’s May Day Party

Lincoln Nebraska Bakery |S’more Cake | Grandchild’s May Day Party

S’more Cake, Lincoln Nebraska Bakery specializing in wedding cakes, has designed the perfect May Day dessert display to compliment any wedding celebration this month. For May Day, it’s displayed as a small child’s May Day celebration, complete with petite fours and cupcakes. These cake desserts are to be used in the cupcake and wedding cake display that I have designed and will later put into my website. In this display, I have used three “Adalyn’s Chairs” and the special table designed by Tom Bachtold. The name of this chair, Adalyn, is very special as it is the name of our youngest grandchild. I have added the May Baskets with white flowers on the back of each chair to represent the theme.

It was fun the pick out the colors for this display and the colors of the columbine were perfect. This chair and table is an early birthday gift to our grand daughter, Charlie, who loves pinks and purples. She is the daughter of Alexa and Josh Metcalf and like her mom, is very specific about what she likes.

I am not sure when I became aware of May Day, it seems like I have always known about the little baskets left on the desks or doorsteps of our friends. It’s a delightful practice that I am sure a grade school teacher of mine, told us about in our one room school house years ago. It’s a tradition that I hold very special in my heart.

Lincoln Nebraska Bakery | S’more Cake | April Showers Cake

April Showers Cake to celebrate the spring blossoms

April Showers Cake to celebrate the spring blossoms.

Lincoln Nebraska Bakery | S’more Cake | April Showers Cake

S’more Cake, a Lincoln Nebraska Bakery, has a uniquely designed spring cake. The inspiration for the theme was the plum tree blossoms that appeared in our back yard with the spring rains. There is the promise of May flowers to come and planting our gardens. The little rain boots and umbrella were inspired by a photograph my daughter, Alexa, took of grand daughter, Charlie last year.

It is designed on a 10 inch rich, moist yellow cake, frosted with lemon flavored buttercream. The fondant that covers this cake, is also lemon flavored and designed into spring flowers of pink, periwinkle blue and yellow. I couldn’t resist putting the little polka dots and bows of on the cute rain boots.

The cake is set on a small table designed by my husband, Tom, and has two small adirondack chairs, also designed by Tom. These chairs are customized to fit our grand children. They are painted in buttercup and are adorable.

April happens to be my favorite month for many reasons. It was the wedding anniversary of my parents and was the month that my littlest sister was born. I have many other friends and family with birthdays this month. When I was planning my wedding, I had to plan it the month of April, using the spring theme and purple pansies as the flowers. So every year I purchase purple pansies for my kitchen to celebrate this wonderful month. Happy Showers!
