2/9/2014 0 Comments January UpdatesOh my goodness, it's been quite a month, and I can finally update in February. There have been some changes like getting a new job and reorganizing my priorities, so cakes have been a nice consistent thing, although I have been doing some experiments! On MLK weekend, as I have for the past three years, I attended the Winter Fancy Food Show. How lucky and fortunate I am to live so close to San Francisco! Most of it is more savory foods, and ready to sell confections, and is a place to be inspired, and get ideas. I discovered several brands of gluten free flour, fruit and veggie purees to flavor and color cakes, and got samples of two kinds of vanilla. I am really rediscovering the different complexities of vanilla! The BF's birthday is on Superbowl weekend, so I went ahead and made him a football cake. I meant to do one last year, but he was "just a friend" then, plus I had some other orders... lol! It was also really nice because i got to experiment with my airbrush! A friend had bought me an airbrush years ago, and I let another friend borrow it, and got it back just recently. It was an amazing experience. I ended up running late to another party, because i literally took the whole airgun apart to clean it out, and put it back together again. there was a lot of youtube searching to figure it out! Although I did have and old friend help me out with the basics. :) There was a point when I was transferring the cake from the airbrush board to the "field" board when I "fumbled" the ball--- I mean, cake. So you can see in the picture near the laces where it looks a little burnt. Also figured out why some people where masks when airbrushing - my boogies came out the same color as the football! blehck, lol... :) I saw in a youtube video about airbrushing to use coloring books to practice, such a great idea, I will definitely use that!
