Crazy Week at Cara Linn, Inc.

We had a bit of a busy time here last week with cakes, sweet treats, and classes all crunched into about 5 short days. But we somehow managed to finish it all! I should mention, nothing would ever get done without my two amazing assistants Faith and Dallas (aka Dal-Rod), our newest team member. You both are amazing!


CAKE BABIES

SWEET SCOOPS

RED VELVET CUPCAKES

CHEESECAKE LOLLIPOPS

These fish cupcakes were a little experiment we did for my step-dad Tommy's Birthday. He lives in Texas so we tried rushed them by mail in little cups, covered them tightly with lids, and wrapping them in a long rectangular cream cheese box.
We found out they arrived in two days, and only one cupcake was upside down....oops! Well it was worth a try. Hopefully they still tasted delicious. Happy Birthday Tommy! We love you.



This cake was a team effort. I got this "Bible Cake" order and asked my creative friend Aaron if she had any ideas - she knows the woman it was going to be for. She said she envisioned a bible with jewels coming out of it and that made me think of the Proverbs scripture about how a Virtuous woman is worth more than rubies! From what we heard, "Momma Sorger" LOVED it!


A few more Cakes....
These were for a little boy Henry turning One!
His mother wanted Baby Einstein and Elmo cupcakes.



And to end the crazy week, we had our first LEVEL 3 Cake Class. In this class we teach Royal piping, Animal Print, Flower blossoms, Roses, Bows, Brush Embroidery, and painting. Each student receives their own 8" cake to decorate and take home.


We even had one of our students Karen give a demo on making Gumpaste Roses!
(She is better at it than me! :)
