  I hope you’ve enjoyed your holidays thus far – I have.  However, I can’t believe I have taken this much time off.  Can NOT believe it. Forgive me? I’ll make it up to you with these Molten Lave Chocolate Cakes, and at the end of this post…with a giveaway. See?  That perked you up [...]]]> http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/12/30/molten-lava-chocolate-cakes/feed/ 120 http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/11/12/a-bunch-of-cakes/ http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/11/12/a-bunch-of-cakes/#comments Sat, 12 Nov 2011 11:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/11/12/a-bunch-of-cakes/

  Did you think I had stopped making cakes? I haven’t.  Well, I haven’t made too many in the past few weeks, as I’ve been on a self inflicted cake hiatus.  I don’t want to get burnt out! However, I wanted to share with you a few I have done in the past couple of [...]]]> http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/11/12/a-bunch-of-cakes/feed/ 4 http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/10/18/pumpkin-cream-cheese-bundt-cake/ http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/10/18/pumpkin-cream-cheese-bundt-cake/#comments Tue, 18 Oct 2011 04:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/10/18/pumpkin-cream-cheese-bundt-cake/

  Pumpkin cake is good.  I mean, it’s really good.  Really, really good. For as long as I can remember, my mom has always hosted Thanksgiving at our house, for the entire family. I don’t have a small family. My mom is one of seven kids, and there have been times when every single sibling [...]]]> http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/10/18/pumpkin-cream-cheese-bundt-cake/feed/ 9 http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/10/04/guest-postdecadent-perfectly-chocolate-hersheys-chocolate-cake/ http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/10/04/guest-postdecadent-perfectly-chocolate-hersheys-chocolate-cake/#comments Tue, 04 Oct 2011 04:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/10/04/guest-postdecadent-perfectly-chocolate-hersheys-chocolate-cake/

  Last week I was whisked away to Milwaukee to meet the folks at Johnsonville.  Since I knew I’d be gone, I arranged for a friend to do all of my work.  Well…at least SOME of my work.  In the past, I’ve always asked another food blogger to guest post, but this time, I reached [...]]]> http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/10/04/guest-postdecadent-perfectly-chocolate-hersheys-chocolate-cake/feed/ 2 http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/15/tiffany-blue-reception-cake/ http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/15/tiffany-blue-reception-cake/#comments Sat, 16 Jul 2011 03:38:49 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/15/tiffany-blue-reception-cake/

I love surprises.  Well…good surprises.  Surprises like emails from out of the blue, a couple of weeks before a reception, and I am actually able to do another cake. Like this one.  With a bride that says go for it. Having gotten married already, but now having a reception at home, this bride was wanting [...]]]> http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/15/tiffany-blue-reception-cake/feed/ 11 http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/13/contemporary-twist-wedding-cake/ http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/13/contemporary-twist-wedding-cake/#comments Thu, 14 Jul 2011 02:23:42 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/13/contemporary-twist-wedding-cake/

  In June, I was hired to make an unusual wedding cake – purple and yellow fondant, contemporary design, a little silver for bling, and fresh flowers to keep it toned down from being too modern.  The bride and groom met with me a week before the wedding to firm up the final details.  The [...]]]> http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/13/contemporary-twist-wedding-cake/feed/ 2 http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/09/fresh-floral-hexagon-wedding-cake/ http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/09/fresh-floral-hexagon-wedding-cake/#comments Sun, 10 Jul 2011 02:11:04 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/09/fresh-floral-hexagon-wedding-cake/

  Another weekend, another round of cakes!  As I type this, I have just piped scads of royal icing on two tiers of hexagonal wedding cake, after a long two days of three other cakes. (Believe it or not, 2 of the other cakes were for one of my wedding cake brides in June – [...]]]> http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/09/fresh-floral-hexagon-wedding-cake/feed/ 7 http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/02/seven-tiered-cakecomplete/ http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/02/seven-tiered-cakecomplete/#comments Sat, 02 Jul 2011 23:03:07 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/02/seven-tiered-cakecomplete/

  According to the Weather Channel, it was in the mid-90s today. It felt hotter. Especially since I was delivering the massively tall wedding cake to an unairconditioned tent, in what felt like 100% humidity. However, the setting was gorgeous – an amazing white tent with bursts of yellow throughout, paper lanterns hung from the [...]]]> http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/02/seven-tiered-cakecomplete/feed/ 9 http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/02/contemporary-wedding-cake/ http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/02/contemporary-wedding-cake/#comments Sat, 02 Jul 2011 04:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/02/contemporary-wedding-cake/

  You may recall last month when I live blogged the making of two wedding cakes in one weekend.  I posted the results from the Hexagonal wedding cake, but this one, the Contemporary Cake for Nicole and Josh – well, I needed to wait. Why? Because of Laura’s Focus Photography. It’s a privilege to have [...]]]> http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/02/contemporary-wedding-cake/feed/ 1 http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/01/and-even-more-cake-coverage/ http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/01/and-even-more-cake-coverage/#comments Fri, 01 Jul 2011 20:58:15 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/01/and-even-more-cake-coverage/

  Welcome back to the cake drama.  Ready for it to be over?  Me? I’m just anxiously awaiting it’s completion. So, yesterday was the base of the giant wedding cake, covered in long ruffles and topped with a layer of silver, yellow and white ball details. Today is the top half of the cake, and [...]]]> http://www.doughmesstic.net/2011/07/01/and-even-more-cake-coverage/feed/ 2
