We had a great time yesterday driving to Estes Park for a wedding cake delivery, the scenery was spectacular. It had just snowed that morning and the sun was out drying the roads. The trees were white, the sky was blue and near the road beautiful wildlife. We saw big horn sheep and little dear.
We got to our destination without a problem, with a 4 tier pale yellow cake with bright orange sugar Japanese lanterns


The cake flavors were Marble with chocolate whipped ganache and chocolate french buttercream, as well as, Pistachio lovers cake - the bride's favorite.
Thank you Angie and Justin for letting us be part of your lovely day.
Also, Joyce from La Vie la Gage events for trusting us with her clients desires, and can't wait to see Kim Nodurft's pictures.

We have been playing with chocolate all day and got to make, and eat, some pretty yummy variations
I personally find chocolate making relaxing. You have to take your time with it, if you don't it will let you know who is the boss, not you.
We made a few different ganaches, like coffee, raspberry, caramel and good old fashion dark chocolate. Then we used colored cocoa butter to hand-paint some designs on the molds before casting them with some tempered chocolate. One very important tip is to make sure you have a well calibrated thermometer, it can ruin the look of your chocolates if it is giving you the wrong temperature



After casting the molds we filled them up with the ganache and finish them up with another coating of chocolate
I love this next step, tapping them of their mold! You get to see your efforts turned into pretty little morsels that taste awesome



These chocolates are for one of our lovely brides for this weekend wedding. She is putting them in little boxes as favors with their logo. Cute!
