This was a co-workers weekend :) I received a request for cake pops and a smash cake from my training peer in the Oakland Fire Department, who's daughter was born 3 weeks before my niece. Then another co-worker requested cake pops for her niece's frozen themed party. 

The cake pops were straight forward enough. Sparkling sugar on white candy coating. White and blue for the FROZEN theme, and a pastel palette for the 1st birthday party. The cake was also pretty simple, a small 6" round with some bundt flags, which I made myself! #proud :)

I was invited to participate in the debut event for a new organization called Blessed with Breasts. Their mission is to "SHIFT the way our society views, talks about, and objectifies breasts." It was a beautiful event that included chocolate, photography, a fashion show, and sharing stories about healing, self-love and acceptance. It was held in San Francisco at the Red Victorian in the Haight district - what a beautiful and creative space! When I was first approached about the event to provide some sweets, I thought instantly of cake truffles, to look like little boobies! I thought of using varying shades of brown/beige. I thought of having different flavors of cake for each color, but because of time, I ended up using just one flavor. It worked out because I was able to say that even though they all look different, they're all the same inside - how symbolic!!!

I was also going to make some petit-fours which turned out to be an #epicfail! not so much the cake itself, but the coating, I still have yet to figure out how to get a good poured fondant! So I ended up taking the cake originally planned for the petit-fours, and made more cake truffles. And for those that wanted something besides chocolate, I made some lemon bars as well. The Chu On Cakes spread was joined by appetizers from KAY Catering, and some chocolate covered strawberries.
