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 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!

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 |Valentine Cookies with Allie

As a Lincoln Nebraska Bakery, in addition to making cakes, I also enjoy making cookies. This year I was in Utah and had the pleasure of making valentine cookies with Allie, my grand daughter. She has become very good at mixing the dry ingredients while I mix up the wet ingredients in separate bowls. We make good working partners! She looked so cute in her chef’s hat and new apron from Spoons n’ Spice.

We chose a sugar cookie recipe that we received from my daughter, Alexa. It is a very good recipe that includes almond extract and takes very little time to make. The recipe calls for butter, sugar, flour and baking powder. We rolled out the dough and cut out the cookies in the shape of hearts. With Allie’s help, we baked them in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes. We frosted the cookies with a powdered sugar and milk mixture. Each cookie was decorated with pink frosting, assorted sprinkles, and white pearl sugar beads. They looked very cute.

We thought it would be fun to have a valentine’s day portrait session with Allie in her little red and pink tutu, eating her cookies. She is very proud of herself and will enjoy looking at her pictures. They will remind her of the fun time we had together. Pictures have always been very important to me, something that I learned from my mom.

I have enjoyed my time in Utah with my family. I will treasure all of my experiences here, the great recipes and cake decorating that I have done with Niki and Allie. We enjoyed many fun meals and picnics at the park. The portfolio of my cakes for my website look great and I appreciate the memories we have created.

Lincoln Nebraska Wedding Cakes|S’more Cake|Spring Fondant Ruffle Cakes

The design of the spring fondant ruffle cake was a lot of fun to do and reminds me of the arrival of spring and the anticipations of new beginnings of the year. As a cake from Lincoln Nebraska Bakery, it would be ideal for the early spring bride. The cake is a traditional vanilla buttercream cake with raspberry buttercream filling, covered with a buttercream base, lemon fondant and ruffles made with sugar gum paste. It would be lovely as a bridal shower cake or baby shower cake as well.
