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.

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!

Lincoln Nebraska Bakery | S’more Cake | St. Pat’s Cake for Zach and Shanon

S’more Cake, Lincoln Nebraska Bakery created a party fondant cake for Zach and Shanon to celebrate the day with a Special Event Cake for St. Pat’s. This is their first St. Pat’s together as a married couple and we know how important this day has been for Zach. Now, he’s married to an Irish sweetie!

It is in the shape of a leprechaun hat with a large shamrock. The lemon flavored bright green fondant covers a three layer lemon cake frosted with Bailey’s Buttercream. Yum! First, I built the cake up in layers filled with limeade, cream cheese and white chocolate. Then I shaped the cake so that it had a slight slant towards the center, so that the top of the hat is smaller than the base. I measured the height and circumference of the base and top to make parchment paper patterns of the hat design. I rolled out the green fondant for the rim until it was about 3/8 inch thick. I cut the rim out about 2″ wide and wrapped it around the base of the frosted cake. Fondant will stretch, so I was able the shape it as I moved around the cake base. I put egg whites on the two edges and sealed it so it was a continuous rim. I then rolled out fondant about 1/4 inch and cut the sides and top of the hat. Using the egg whites, I again sealed the edges together. The shamrock was made free hand with a lime green fondant with a black band and golden buckle, also sealed to the hat with the egg whites.

I think that a glass of Bailey’s will be the perfect drink with this cake, but I think that Zach will probably have his Guinness!
