The bride requested pina colada cakes, so I made those as well as orange dreamsicle cakes and luscious lemon cakes. I'll post the recipes and individual photos next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Each one was just the perfect size for a dessert, and they looked so cute! However, I never got a photo of all eight boxes full of these things covering my entire kitchen, or of me and my sister working late into the night frosting the little buggers. What I do have is a random shot I took of my fridge with all of Karissa's wedding cakes chilling and all the little lemon cakes taking up the middle section. Did I mention that I bought a second fridge for this shinding? I truly am a little mad. I think I'll go wander around the forest now...

Great Thundering Herds of Mini Cakes, Batman!
My nephew got married this past weekend, and my cake contribution to the celebration was to make dessert for the bridal shower. Now I've been to my fair share of bridal showers, and usually by the time they get to the cake everyone is stuffed and thinking about calories so the cake goes largely uneaten. I wanted to not only do something special but also make it really fun. Therefore, I made 123 mini cakes in cheesecake pans and frosted them individually on little glass coasters to put at everyone's place on the tables. Yes, I'm a little nuts.
