CiCi’s sweets

Yes I know this cake is not the best. Im not getting paid for this one so I was just not stressing as much. I’m tired y’all. Our electricity was out for a few hours during the storm that started around 2 am and I have been up since then. (It’s now 10pm). I may do something else in the morning to it. I probably need to redo the macaroons, but they are just so much work. I hope the 11 year old girl likes it.
Strawberry cake with buttercream and strawberry purée between each layer.

I was left to use my imagination only giving fishing as a theme for the grooms cake. The wedding cake is just a white cake with buttercream and the grooms cake is chocolate with cream cheese frosting. I hope they enjoy it tomorrow.(just imagine the wedding cake being 2 tiered) I don’t stack until after I deliver to eliminate transporting issues.

I don’t mean to brag, but look at these beautiful pictures of a cake that I made for my coworker/friends small wedding. Her photographer did a great job and so did the florist.

It has been a busy Friday for sure. I finished up a strawberry cake with white icing and fresh strawberries on top and in the middle with buttercream icing. She wanted it for a small wedding tomorrow.
I also made a HUGE 3 layer German chocolate cake with caramel drizzle and the pecan,coconut, caramel on top of each layer With Hersheys chocolate buttercream.
The last one is a personal little strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream for my mother in law. I will put fresh strawberries on top tomorrow.

Finally done. Now I just have to clean the kitchen and cook something for dinner.

Homemade carrot cake with pecans, pineapple, cream cheese frosting with pecans and caramel drizzle on top. I just so happen to know that carrot cake is one of my husbands and son in law’s favorite cake.

Does anyone know what a Doberge cake is? Well, it’s nothing short of amazing. The doberge cake as we know it was created by New Orleans baker Beulah Ledner. I made a lemon Doberge cake for a sweet friend. It is six layers of spongy cake. In between each layer is a delicious homemade lemon custard. I made this using fresh ingredients including several eggs and lemons. The frosting is a lemon cream cheese buttercream. This cake is light and refreshing.

CiCi’s sweets had a busy week preparing for a birthday party, a graduation party, and a wedding….All this weekend. I stayed calm and confident until about 11 last night when my last cake was not cooperating and I was on my last batch of macaroon batter after 3 batches cracking. I just started to pray. I’m not an expert. I have never had any training. It’s all trial and error and playing around. I realize that not everything has to be perfect and probably, only I would be the one that could notice any sort of imperfection. So I just had to let it go. I pray that everybody enjoys their sweets as much as I enjoyed making them. Thank you for trusting me on your special days.

I pray that a sweet 5 year old enjoys her strawberry cake with buttercream frosting.

Graduation cake and cupcakes complete. Any ideas on what school the graduate just graduated from?

This is for a graduation cake and cupcakes,a birthday cake, a wedding cake, a grooms cake, and macaroons… all for this weekend.

LET THE FUN BEGIN!

I think I’m finally getting the hang of making French maccaroons. They are definitely not the easiest things to make, but they are delicious and worth the trails and errors. The cookie part is soft and airy while the filling/inside is smooth and rich. This batch was a trial run for a UT grad party next week.

Strawberry cake with buttercream frosting and fresh strawberries in between each layer too. ❤️

Lemon French macaroons with lemon blueberry filling. Strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, lemon cupcakes With lemon blueberry frosting for the mom and me tea at Eagle Heights. Thank you Olivia for asking me to help out with some of the sweets and “angel eggs” 🤣 With everything going on, I forgot to make chocolate covere strawberries… but I think we had enough without them.

Chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting. Happy Graduation to Madison!

Throwback to 2001. Olivia’s first birthday cake. ❤️

I had so much fun making this 4 layer vanilla cake with buttercream for the cutest 2 year old, Nash.

Congratulations to Shirley Prince for winning the cupcakes. She chose blueberry. 💙 I gave my mom and Olivia some mini blueberry cupcakes that they said were the perfect size💙

I’m glad that the Easter bunny left some carrots for this cake. Is it considered healthy when a cake has both fruit (pineapple) and vegetables (carrots) in it and nuts on top?

This cake was as good as it looks. Pineapple cake with pineapple buttercream frosting. It’s a perfect light and tropical cake.

This cake was a lot of fun to make. She wanted it similar to the picture, but wanted 10 inches. The cake was vanilla with fresh strawberries and buttercream in the middle.

This cake was a chocolate cake for a dear friend of ours. Edible art is so fun and personable.

A little cookies and cream…

My brother loves Reese’s so he got a peanut butter and chocolate cake with Reese’s on top

This is another fun cake for a 5 year old sweet girl that I made a Barbie cake for last year. I didn’t have anything to go off of but this was her request:
Strawberry cake ✅
Blue icing ✅
Pink slime ✅
