It's been a long time since I posted. Mostly because the cakes I have been baking are just for fun. But this cake, took hours and it wasn't fun. But it came out beautiful. I don't like doing Wedding cakes, after finishing this one I still feel that way....lol time for a drink!

For Valentines Day I served my family (per my father's request) a pineapple cream pie with toasted coconut chantilly cream....yum!

Hey everyone.... I haven't been doing much out sourcing since I began my new role as the deli manager of a medeterarian market. I have turned down quite a few cake orders because sometimes you just need to focus on other things. Recently I have been doing some medicinal baking for those in need, but my most recent baking adventure was this Banana Cream Pie with Chantilly Cream for my father in law David's birthday.

A truly successful dessert. It took time, patience and love. The crust is home baked, I used vanilla wafers, then the vanilla pudding filling (my favorite part) is creamy, light , lucious, very rich, very sexy. It has a layer on sliced bananas, then the pudding,then the carefully whipped cream, I used granulated sugar and pure vanilla. Then topped the whole thing with curls from a bar of dark chocolate and sea salt candy that David had so kindly bought for me.

Overall Cakes By Bertina is still active, and well. Thanks for checking in ♡

Final product. Strawberry peach lemonade cupcakes with a citrus cream cheese frosting.

Celebrating my friend Johns Graduation. Baked vanilla butterfinger cupcakes with chocolate espresso buttercream and a chocolate Ganache drizzle

I recently took a trip to California for a friend's birthday. I made a french vanilla cake with a homemade vanilla custard filling and a layer of jasberry. The homemade buttercream was some of my best work. Yet I could not decorate this cake if my life depended upon it. It was horribly ugly but because I was with loved ones absolutely no one cared. All in good fun the cake ended up being smashed on 5 different faces, including my own. It was delicious! When it came time to serve it there was a big bowl and a big spoon and a mess of pure joy. Sorry there are no photos to document this moment, but I hope you enjoyed the story. Cake is great in any shape or form!
