Lincoln Nebraska Birthday Cakes | S’more Cake | Zach’s Birthday Cake

I surprised Zach, my son, with a special birthday cake from S’more Cake, a Lincoln Nebraska Birthday Cakes Bakery.  So I created this fun cake for him. Today is his birthday, Tom and I had a lot of fun solving the logistics for this cake. He has a taste for the beers from Germany, so this was an important central theme for this cake.

I started with a moist yellow cake, a recipe that has always been a taste pleaser with my family. Each of the three layers were moistened with berry syrup to add extra flavor and richness. Then between each layer was filled with a coconut pecan and milk chocolate frosting. I crumb coated the cake with the coconut pecan/milk chocolate frosting, added a layer of parchment paper cut to fit the top of the layers. Then I placed a cake pan, up right as the tub for the ice and beer bottles. The cake and pan were then coated with a rich fudge and peanut butter frosting to hold the fondant in place.

I cut brown marbled fondant in 2 inch by 7 1/2 inch strips, leaving a small opening between each strip to resemble the slates of a wooden bucket. The two added black horizontal strips finished the look of this wooden bucket. I added a finished edge at the top with the black fondant to complete the look of this bucket. Two bottles of the German beer and ice cubes added to the realistic look of this cake/beer bucket.

The look of surprise and pleasure on Zach’s face made all the effort worth it. Happy Birthday to a wonderful son!

Lincoln Nebraska Wedding Cakes / S’more Cake / Scott and Kim’s Wedding Cake

S’more Cake Bakery, a Lincoln Nebraska Wedding Cakes bakery, was at the wedding reception for Scott and Kim in the Lincoln Train Station last weekend. The reception was beautiful with floral arrangements and gold accents that were mirrored in the design of their special cake.  The four tiered cake was decorated with many assorted fresh flowers, with the couples initials in gold leaf on the 10″ tier A decorated cake drum for the 10″ layer was also covered in gold leaf.

This specially designed cake was made up of four tiers and displayed on an antique cake plate picked out by the bride for this occasion. The bottom 12″ tier was a torted vanilla cake, flavored with grand mariner, filled with swiss meringue, raspberry puree and limeade buttercream frosting. The 10″ four layered tier was a torted coconut chocolate cake flavored with Maker’s Mark bourbon and filled with swiss meringue frosting. The 8″ tier was a torted lemon curd cake filled with lemon curd and lemon buttercream. The anniversary tier was a carrot cake, filled with cream cheese and sour cream frosting, and will be saved for the couple’s first anniversary. The entire cake was frosted with flavored swiss meringue.

The groom’s cake choice was a carrot cake filled with cream cheese, sour cream frosting and decorated with green cream cheese frosting to look like a golf green. The bride and groom were designed with fondant, with the groom putting a golf ball and the bride ( in a nurse’s costume)  ready to give the groom a shot with a syringe. It was a cute and playful scene for this wonderful couple.

S’more Cake wishes the best to this great couple for their new life together.

Lincoln Nebraska Wedding Cakes |S’more Cake |My Favorite Chocolate Cake

S’more Cake, Lincoln Nebraska Wedding Cakes Bakery, I designed a delicious chocolate cake that would be a perfect centerpiece for a holiday wedding or special event. This is my favorite chocolate cake because I love espresso and cream with my chocolate cake, or rather IN my chocolate cake. This chocolate cake recipe was the perfect choice for my mini cupcake show case and it fit into the central theme of the Wedding Crash at Wilderness Ridge. It was designed for brides planning their upcoming weddings during the holiday seasons. The cake design was done in delicate white edible sugar lace, sugar burgundy roses and leaves. It consisted of two tiers with three layers of chocolate cake, filled with my best truffle ganache and a filling of raspberry swiss meringue. It was crumb coated with chocolate fudge frosting and covered in raspberry flavored fondant.

I also want to share a couple of helpful insights that I learned this week. First, always use a oven thermometer. I found out that my oven was 23 degrees cooler than it was supposed to be. No wonder my cakes had to stay in the oven longer than the recipe recommended. Secondly, while watching the food net work program, I found out that the height of the cake and the height of the filling of that cake should be a ratio of one to one or one to two, depending on the density of the filling. Interesting. We really need to enjoy our frostings in that case!

Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

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!
