I love to try out new recipes no matter if they are ones I created in my head, ones I found on-line or in a cookbook. Over the years, I have tried recipes from a lot of chefs, one who seems to match my cooking style is Rachael Ray. As a mother, you've got to appreciate the concept of a 30 Minute Meal! Rachael Ray often says that her recipes are just methods. She encourages her viewers to take her recipes and make them their own. I "Lori-ize" almost everything I cook, tayloring the recipe to my families taste. I decided to combine these two ideas and what you see here is the result. Each week I'll create a meal based on a recipe and let you know what we thought. I will give you the original recipe and let you know how I "Lori-ized" it. Hope you enjoy Tasty Tuesday!
Hire younger brother to make cakes:
Carve cake into train shape, then mix frosting and begin to frost
Plan out where wheels will be placed
This was tough, but I think the finished product was pretty good. I doubt I'll make another train cake, but it won't stop me from trying again.
Super cute! Have you ever played with fondant icing? Wonder if that might make it a little easier? I've never tasted fondant, but I think I've heard its not as tasty as regular icing though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool looking cake!!! I'm so ready for a boy!!! Princess and pink is fun but this look like fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is great Lori, great job! And Blake is so handsome in his engineer outfit. It looked like a lot of work but it came out great, way to go :)
ReplyDeleteThat is just too cute. I did a castle cake one year and about lost my mind. Yours turned out great and I love Blakes outfit. CUTE.
ReplyDeleteWow! You did and amazing job. It looks really good. I love to try and make fun cakes for the boy's birthdays but I usually can't find the time and end up running to the store!
ReplyDeleteWow that looks fantastic!!! Great job. Did you not want to cut it then? Sometimes when I do stuff like that I don't want to cut it then!
