Welcome and cakes

Hi everyone Sam here! I guess my first post should be a little bit about myself, of course I am a cousin to some amazing woman, that you will hopefully meet very soon. I have two little boys that are my world. I have not stopped moving since I was 18. Ive been to TX (when I joined the AF) then to NM (That's were I met my husband) then to KY and now NC. Hopefully we wont be leaving NC and will start settling down.
Other than my children I have other loves and my top two would have to be BAKING, and CRAFTING (in that order of course), and that is why I am going to the Art Institute for Baking and Pastry (and am trying to talk my cousin Sarah into going)  and also why I'm excited about this blog.
Well that's a little into to me.

I would like to start with what I did on my long day yesterday. This quarter I'm taking European cakes and tortes. I will probably sharing a lot of amazing cakes... at least for the next couple of months while I'm in this class

Caraibe torte

Chocolate sponge soaked with simple syrup and rum(you could really taste the rum, yummy), then chocolate buttercream, repeated then topped with silky ganache deluxe and chopped up chocolate meringue sticks.

-It was slightly dry on the bottom but OMG it was AMAZING!!! I would give the recipe but its about 10 recipes in one. Don't worry I will eventually give out some great recipes I come across

 

This is the other one we finished up yesterday, but it didn't get decorated

Chocolate Caramel Maxine

Chocolate Carmel mouse with Carmel filling on top of chocolate sponge cake, the topped it dark chocolate glaze.

so yummy... I really loved this one but I could only eat a tiny piece of it, it was soooo sweet.

I really hope you enjoyed my cakes if no one else ends up reading this I'm happy to be sharing all of our amazing stuff with my COUSINS, sisters aunts and mom!
