LEGO CAKE

I will also be making a LEGO cake this weekend. I am a little scared. Here are some examples I found on GOOGLE:

The Good

The Bad

The...WTF??

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Fun With Chocolate

I was recently asked to make a cake for a suprise birthday party coming up...a guy's birthday. Guys cakes, I find, are challenging. But I LOVE a challenge! I love playing with new food mediums, and came across a bakery in Australia's blog where they use melted chocolate instead of fondant to give a more earthy look to cakes. The results are GORGEOUS, and I am SO anxious to try it. I will be making the cake next week, so I will post pics as soon as the finished product is ready...though it won't be until right before because a) I don't want to ruin the surprise, and b) the chocolate will be added last minute so it doesn't melt! Here is what I HOPE the finished product will (sort-of) look like:

This is my favorite. The detail with chocolate makes it look like a NYC skyline!

Love the simple white chocolate

This one is neat with the jagged edges.

BLUEBERRIES!

So I got these fresh Blueberries from my mother-in-law who got them from her friend who got them fresh from East Texas....sort of our own farm to market.

Now I have to decide what I will do with them. I think some of them will be frozen for later, some will taste good in a fruit salad, and some I want to use to bake some muffins, or bread or something more creative! Mmmm!!!
