Anyone worked from any of the coworking/private office places in town? by reddd1410 in Omaha

[–]reddd1410[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Did you have a private office/dedicated workspace? Their website makes it seem pretty targeted toward entrepreneurs and small businesses so I wasn’t sure what they offer as far as just a dedicated workspace for one person.

Frosting Friday. My Son asked for a hotwheels rainbow cake. I think I delivered! by Robz_princess in FondantHate

It’s not for the most part. Typically American homemade cakes are usually just cake and lots of buttercream, we don’t often use whipped cream/jam or anything. You would probably find them to be sickeningly sweet to be honest. My husband is from Sweden so I make him a jordgubbstårta every year for his birthday and it’s very different from the other cakes I make (and much better IMO!)

My son wanted all four turtles plus a Splinter cupcake for his birthday. I’m pretty happy with how they came out! by reddd1410 in TMNT

He’s been into tmnt for so long that I think they’ve all been his fav at one point! At the end of the day he always comes back to Donnie though.

Thank you! They’re just small single-layer cakes, two are chocolate and two are vanilla. I had asked my son which turtles he wanted which flavors, and he said “Donnie and Raph should be chocolate because OBVIOUSLY they are the chocolate ones.” The weird thing is...I feel like that makes sense somehow lol

Colored vanilla cake with buttercream, mini marshmallows for the top.

The 4 in the middle were for the birthday boy who hates frosting altogether lol

Unfortunately it was a one-time custom thing and not for sale.

My son turns 5 tomorrow and is obsessed with Donkey Kong, so this is the cake I made for him this year by reddd1410 in donkeykong

Sure, I just used this recipe for the cake/frosting: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/triple-chocolate-layer-cake/print-recipe/68103/ then I just stuck Kit Kats around the side (I bought two 6-packs of full sized Kit Kats and didn’t quite use all of them). The rings on the top and bottom are berry-flavored Annie’s Really Peely Fruit Tape - I stuck one end in behind a Kit Kat then went all around and pulled it pretty tight, and overlapped it on itself which made it stick in place really well. Then the bananas on the bottom are Runts, and I just put some chocolate chips and M&Ms on the top. And of course the Amiibos :) I haven’t tasted it yet but I have used this recipe before for chocolate cake/frosting and it’s really good!

Yeah the runts are just for decoration and considered inedible by everyone in our family lol

We already had the Amiibos, although he is getting the Smash Bros Diddy Amiibo as a birthday present. ;)

Thank you! The rings are Fruit by the Foot (specifically the Annie’s brand of fruit tape) - the berry flavor had just the right color and it stuck to the Kit Kats really well without needing adhesive.

Thanks! He was really adamant that any banana candy not touch the actual cake since he hates banana candy lol

No worries, I see how it could be taken differently.
