Lincoln Nebraska Bakery | S’more Cake | Gingersnap Spicy Pecan Cake

Celebrations are always a great reason for special event cakes from S’more Cake, a Lincoln Nebraska Bakery. Today I have completed my French Doll project and there is no better way to celebrate then to bake a cake.

It all began with a trip to JoAnn’s fabric store to look at quilt fabric. I discovered a bolt of cotton that had designs and words about Paris. My mind immediately went into action and I had the design idea for a doll. I visited with the assistant at the cutting table who helped me with suggestions for the hair and I was off and running. With my new sewing machine that I purchased at JoAnn’s, a portable Husqvarna Viking 100, I set up sewing area. Loving and enjoying the sun, I moved my sewing project around the house. I designed the pattern and through trial and error, made the body of my doll. As I watched the food channel, I used a seam ripper to separate the strands of thread for her hair, this took quite a while. She’s dressed in a black mini dress, beret, black boots and a wrap with the Paris looking fabric.

I began to plan this week’s specialty cake to celebrate my success. I chose a spicy pecan cake filled with caramelized buttercream with orange zest and added homemade gingersnap cookies. Gingersnaps that are made right are the best and were a favorite cookie with the neighborhood kids as my family grew up. The spicy pecan cake was then frosted with Orange Blossom buttercream and topped with orange peel curls and a gingersnap cookie. It tastes terrific and will be added to my selection of cookies and cream cakes.

After the cake is gone, I will still have the doll,”Ami” to remember my enjoyable day. Bonne journee!
