Lincoln Nebraska Bakery | S’more Cake | Ribbon Fondant Wedding Cake

Weddings are a specialty for S’more Cake, a Lincoln Nebraska Bakery. This week I am featuring a two tiered wedding cake with flavored fondant. The first fondant covers a layer of rich raspberry creamed buttercream frosting. It is a beautiful light warm aqua fondant. There is three hand made roses in “Early Spring” pink with a matching bow ribbon on top. I have added a single ribbon of white fondant to frame the top tier. It was fun to design this cake around the ornate floral appliqués of the top tier. The aqua rosette at the center is framed with scrolls that resemble various designs. I repeat the ribbon design in the bottom tier with horizontal lines to tie the design of this cake together.This pleasing design would suit a bride that is very particular with the details of her wedding. It is very detailed, yet very romantic as well for her wedding. The anniversary cake was not included in the design of this cake. It would be safely vacuumed packaged to be stored away ahead of time and saved for the bride and groom at their first anniversary. This anniversary cake would carry over the same design elements. It would be a fond memory as they remember their important day.

When deciding the design of her cake, each bride should keep in mind that the focus of the wedding reception can be featured around the design of the cake. How it fits into the overall ambiance of her wedding reception. Whether it is set up traditional or contemporary, playful or formal, the cake display table can feature and set the tone for her wedding photography as well as how the reception is successfully handled.

S’more Cake, a Lincoln Nebraska Bakery, has experience in various wedding reception venues. It would be an honor to help any bride make her wedding day a very wonderful memory.

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!

Lincoln Nebraska Bakery | S’more Cake | Three Tiered Cake with Fondant Ribbon

I have enjoyed designing wedding cakes for Lincoln Nebraska Bakery during my time with Niki of Nicolette Dixon Photography in North Salt Lake City. My daughter Niki has a photography business and does fantastic work with her portrait and wedding photography. She did my wedding pictures and I treasure them very much. I am very proud of her talent and appreciated all of her help. She encouraged me as we worked side by side during the four weeks I was there, designing my web site and Facebook business page. She has a “good eye” and I trust her judgement completely. We had a lot of fun exchanging ideas and I had the best time with her.

It was her encouragement several weeks ago and her help that I was able to take a leap of faith in working towards a dream of mine to design wedding cakes in a business venture of my own. The timing was right for me to start this adventure now and she prompted me forward. I will always be very grateful for her advice.

The design of this cake was a lot of fun, with a fondant ribbon on the top and on the first tier. This ribbon was the most challenging element in this design. Getting the fondant at just the right texture and consistency was a challenge, but one that I was able to complete to my satisfaction. The color of the fondant is a beautiful tangerine color and the flavoring is my favorite lemon. The fondant is put on top of a crumb coating of buttercream. The cake is a vanilla cake and filled with raspberry and limeade cream cheese. The cake design is more formal and would be lovely in any wedding venue.

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.
