| Karen Ray's party cake was incredible. The party was a Mother Earth theme, and so when she asked for the World, Tim gave it to her. |
 |
| The cake was made using a soccer ball shaped pan from Michael's. Tim baked two of them, spent hours frosting them, and then glued them together using a combination of dowels, frosting and a cardboard circle. |
 |
| He used toffee bits for the mountain ranges. |
 |
| The cake sat on the bottom of an upside down bowl, on top of a lazy Susan. That way it could spin... Yes, we are that dorky. |
 |
| For school Karen Ray wanted Gluten Free Boston Creme Cupcakes. While I used baking mixes, I thought a little guidance into the process might be helpful. I am posting instructions this afternoon for anyone that would like to make them. |
 |
| Finally, the family cake. My inspiration came from Karen Ray's obsession with Skittles. I used a large bag of Skittles to decorate the outside. |
 |
| The inside rainbow cake recipe was adapted from several recipes online. I tend to try to keep things simple, so I paired down the instructions tremendously. If you want to make one of your own, this is what I did. 1. Prepare a white cake mix according to package directions. 2. Divide into 6 cups, and color with 6 shades of food coloring. You want to have the most red, and the least purple, but that was as specific as I got during the process. 3. Grease a large bundt pan. 4. Pour the colored cake mixes into the pan one at a time. The red should cover the entire bottom of the pan. The orange should cover all but a thin perimeter of the red. The yellow should cover all but a thin perimeter of the orange, and so on. That way when it bakes, you end up with a rainbow shape and not just a crazy colored cake! 5. Invert, frost, decorate. |
