The cake in the shop

This cake was a lot about testing. The lady who ordered the cake said she wanted a cake like the one in the shop for her sons engagement party. And i wasn't sure what to think or what she actually wanted, so after some more phone calls I finally understood  which cake she wanted , and yes, she wanted a cake like the one in the shop.
And then it was the decoration, well I didn't get any exact answer on that either. So then after a few more phone calls she said, "I trust you, all the cakes you make are always beautiful"  After she said this she got a lot more cake then she asked for, I am not very difficult to flatter :D  But back to the cake in the shop. The cake in the shop is actually a very simple cake called  Sancha cake, You can find it in almost all shops here in Moscow,it looks like a pyramid that somebody has thrown white and brown painting on. But it taste really delicious. So what I did to make  this white and brown painted pyramid cake in the shop to look like this, was to make a normal chocolate cake , take out all the soft parts inside the cake so it became a cake shell, cut the soft cake-parts into pieces and mixed it with sour cream-vanilla cream and pineapple and put it all back again.  She became very happy, I became very happy and hopefully somebody will get married and live happily ever after.

Sometimes some idea for a cake just pops into my head and I cant get peace in my soul until I have made it. This cake is one of those cakes. I have a friend named Ana-Maria  who is posting so much beautiful Japanese drawings and other stuff on Facebook . So I guess the idea actually started there, and then I started to remember some Japanese dolls my father brought from Japan from the days he was a sailor, I used to play with them when I was a child. The cake itself also has a small story . Also in my childhood my friends and i used to go to our neighbouring village and buy the best and the hugest ice cream you can imagen,   and what we normally used to order was  one scoop of chocolate ice cream and one scoop of pistachio ice cream, wonderfully and sinfully tasty. So this cake is in the memory of this wonderful ice cream. So the lowest cake is a Chocolate cake filled with pistachio cream with chopped pistachios, the top cake is a pistachio cake filled with chocolate cream with chopped airy milk chocolate.

So my dear Ana-Maria and my favourite ice cream this cake is in the honor of you guys <3 

Summer cake

Now that the strawberry season has started i thought it was time for a strawberry cake. I grew up in a village that had a few fields with strawberries, so when the summer vacation had started and the village was filled with the sweet smell of strawberries my friends and i couldn't manage to keep away from the sweet berries. But the thing was that in the daytime the fields was filled up with eager strawberry pickers. So we waited until the sun barley had gone under the horizon and run as fast as we could to the fields. Then we sat down in the middle of the field and enjoyed the sweet and juicy berries, and nobody could tell us that stolen berries dint tasted good.  I have a lot of good memories about strawberries so it was not difficult to find inspiration to this cake. The cake is a Vanilla cake filled with New York Cheesecake and fresh strawberries.

Tasty test cake

A few weeks ago i sat and ate peanuts  when my friend served me a wonderful cup of cafe latte. With the taste of salted peanuts in my mouth i drank the cofe, and the taste that came was one of the best i have tasted in a long time. i would never thought that cofe and peanuts would taste so perfect together. That is the idea of this cake Chocolate cake filled with caramel, salted peanuts and a mocha cream. The mocha cream is made from a cofe chocolate, it tasted a lot of cofe and very nice. I have wanted for a long time to learn how to make this type of big roses, so after several you tube clips this is the result.   I have to practice more, but i had really a lot of fun making it. 

A huge cake!!

This cake was for a lot of people and it really became huge.I think it must have been around 8 kg. I didn't have much time to make it but i am kind of happy with the result. It is not so easy to get cream cake as nice and smooth as rolled fondant, but i feel cream cakes is much more tasty. This cake is made of two layers of Vanilla cake and one layer of chocolate cake filled with apricots jam ,vanilla marinaded apricots and a white chocolate cream.

Birthday cake

This is a simple birthday cake for Dima who was turning 25.  It is a chocolate cake filled with berry mousse and chocolate cream.

Coconut cake

I finally had the opportunity to test out my new cake stuff, well some of it at least. This flowers are made with a silicon mould  i got all the way from Australia. It is suppose to be apple flowers but this is how my flowers ended up.The cake itself is a Coconut cake filled with lime and pineapple mousse. In Moscow right now it is really hot so i wanted to make a light summer cake, but once again it became one of this heavy moist cakes. But my guests didn't seem to notice the heat around them, looked like they enjoyed the cake fully. 

 

Big birthday cake

This cake is for the same birthday party as the one on the picture under. It is made of White mud cake with roasted hazelnuts filled with orange marinaded cherries and white chocolate cream. This mud cakes are really heavy just the top cake on this is weighing about 1,5 kg.I love the taste of white mud cake it has so soft taste to it, and a bit compact. I found a white chocolate here with roasted hazelnuts, so it gets a nice and nutty taste to the cake. 

Orange cake with cinnamon cream.
