Vinnie’s Boobs Cake

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

It’s Vinnie‘s birthday today! Happy Birthday Vinnie!

What’s one thing that will always put a smile on Vinnie‘s face? Ah, boobs, of course! So we brought this pair to the surprise Secret Show last Friday at the Lake Chalet in Oakland. It was so cool working with Uzette from the Sarah and Vinnie show on Alice to bring the surprise boob cake. Amy’s BFF and one of AJ’s biggest supporters, Gerrie, showed Uzette our black bikini cake and suggested we could bring some boobs to Vinnie. You’ve heard Vinnie sing about boobs before, right?

That’s what was playing in my head as I imagined bringing this cake to Vinnie. Boobs!

I had no idea that at the end of the show Sarah would coax Vinnie into motorboating the boobs. You can hear her on the podcast telling Vinnie to get in there and wiggle his head in the boobs. The crowd went wild watching Vinnie play with his boobs. It was awesome.

And then he stood up and smashed his head in the cake.

Vinnie actually came up to Amy at the end of the show and apologized for destroying the cake. We couldn’t have asked for anything better than exactly what happened.

Sadly, Sarah and Vinnie are on vacation this week, so we’re just listening to reruns this morning. I hope you’re enjoying your vacation and birthday, Vinnie!

Colts Football Logo Birthday Cake

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

I was surprised when Amy said she wanted to make a cake for her sister, Emily while we were on vacation, but at the same time I wasn’t. It’s been a few years since we’ve traveled back to Indiana to see Amy’s family. Her parents came out to see us last year when it was her dad’s birthday. We surprised Momma and Poppa Bone with cakes when we showed off the bakery. Our vacation this year was during Amy’s birthday and right before Emily’s birthday, so I was glad Amy wanted to make a cake for her sister.

Of course that meant packing everything to make the cake. Cake pans, cake boards, a big rolling pin, fondant tools, fondant, and Mexican chocolate were in the suitcase. I wasn’t surprised to see the note that said the checked suitcase was inspected. Fondant looks like a weapon, right? Or maybe it was the rolling pin.

So a couple days into relaxing in Indiana, we made a couple Mexican chocolate round cakes and Mexican chocolate buttercream, draped it in fondant, made baubles to border the cake, and put the Colts horseshoe logo on top. Emily is a huge Colts fan. She came over to dinner with her kids who were both wearing Colts jerseys to our surprise. We couldn’t have planned that better. Look at this beautiful family.
