Time out from baking…

LaurieBakes is taking a little hiatus for now. Our house is currently on the market and we are preparing to move to Chicago in a few months. I can’t really do any baking in the next few weeks as the house is being shown and much of my baking supplies have been packed away. However, I’m hopeful that things will be resolved soon and I can get back to work in my kitchen.

So until further notice, I’m sorry to say I can’t bake any cakes. I’ll let you all know when things are back up and running.

Thanks for understanding!

Laurie

Cake for a 40th birthday celebration. Happy birthday!

Gingerbread 2012

Here’s the gingerbread house we made for Christmas 2012. It’s a replica of my daughter’s apartment building at 97th & Lexington Ave. in New York City. She lives on the 4th floor — hence the decorations.

Ooh, la la!

I can’t believe I made an Eiffel Tower out of sugar! This cake was a special request for a graduation party. They wanted an Eiffel Tower on top because the recipient is a big fan of all things French. It turned out pretty nice, in spite of the trouble from humidity. It took a few days with drying time…very nerve-wracking!

Texas-bound.

Made this cake for a going away party. The family is relocating to Texas. Two layers inside — chocolate and vanilla — with fresh strawberry filling in between. Good for a hot day…the party was on the 4th of July.

Chicka chicka boom boom!

The Ridgewood Public Library held a fun event this week: the first annual Edible Book Celebration. Library members of all ages were invited to bring in a cake inspired by a book. I was honored to be asked to judge the competition, and award first prize in categories for grades K-5, grades 5-12, and adult, as well as “pun-derful & funny” and Most Beautiful. They also asked me to bring a display cake based on one of my favorite books. My daughter suggested Chicka Chickja Boom Boom and she was right — it made a great cake!
