Halloween

October 26, 2010: Halloween

A holiday synonymous with goodies and treats, Halloween is once again upon us.  A mere five days away from today young children will fill the streets looking for candies and in their schools they will be having parties with all kinds of baked goods.  That's where I come in.  The bakery has been asked to develop some new designs for the cakes and cupcakes that we have on display.  I have developed several cake designs such as a large gravestone covered in red gel "blood and these cakes that you see below:

The first cake design is simple.  All these cakes have been given a purple Bettercream frosting with a chocolate ganache coating over the top.  Chocolate ganache, for those who do not know, is a rich chocolate that is generally melted and shaped to put on desserts.  This was a vanilla cake with a vanilla cupcake on top turned into a jack-o-lantern.  

 The second design is a graveyard scene.  In the background is a dead rotting tree made from a vanilla cupcake and halved Chips Ahoy cookies for branches with a sugar ghost popping out.  The gravestones were made from halved Oreo fudge dipped cookies.

The last two were just generic designs: A "Happy Halloween" with 3 plastic rings and one with 4 sugar ghosts and 4 Oreo gravestones.  Nothing fancy, but they will sell.

More to come from the Halloween season.

Until next time.

Stay Sweet,

Lil' Buddy
