Cakes and Pies Galore!

I spent the last 2 weeks at my mom's farm helping her with 2 weddings and her daily bread deliveries. Here are the desserts from one of the weddings. I will post the bread later and the other wedding as well.

I went to the farmer's market Saturday morning and lucked out on this bag full of fresh Blackberries for only 7 dollars! So I made the pie above for our family and I used some in one of the cakes below. They were so delicious!
This was the wedding cake for the Barn Dance reception held on the 5th at the farm. It was a 6 layer chocolate cake!

My mom and I combined our efforts to make all the desserts in the display so that it wasn't empty during the reception. Since she is shut down during the summer with the exception of special orders and events.

I had the cake in the fridge because our kitchen was so hot while the oven was running. So if you look close the cake started to sweat from the temperature change! It was 93 outside!

We made peach, blue berry, and chocolate cobbler for the guests to enjoy with a scoop of ice cream!

Below are close ups of the cakes in the display. I didn't have time to take pictures so I gave the camera to someone to take some for me. She did her best without opening the glass. Unfortunately there is a slight glare on a few. I need to get better about taking the pictures before putting them in the case!

I got the wonderful opportunity to help my sister this past week with her groom's cake. She hired someone else to make the wedding cake since we would be too busy with pictures during the time it needed to be delivered. And it was easier to move this one around without it getting damaged. I worked all day Tuesday baking the layers. They were flavored just like the candy, cherry, strawberry, lemon, and orange. Then on Wednesday we stacked and iced the huge thing. I then turned over the reigns to Christie and Jamie to finish and decorate. It turned out so great! Thank you so much Christie for letting me help make your day beautiful for you and Adam!

My mom and I worked this past year to get her kitchen set up to be a whole sale bakery. This is one of the products that we can now distribute throughout the USA! It's my pecan pie filling in a jar! All you have to do is add the eggs and butter and pour it into a pie shell to bake. I'm so excited to have this done. We had to make test jars and send them to a lady at Mississippi State University for testing. She made sure that it would be safe on a shelf for long periods. So if your interested we can now ship this to anywhere! We are now working on other cake or pastry mixes that you can purchase in the gift shop at her farm.

We made these for Easter at the farm they turned out great!

More desserts from Christmas

My mother and I have perfected petite-fores! She was determined to find the right recipe, so with a little work we did it. The ones below are 2 flavors first a simple fruit flavored one and then a almond chocolate one. Mom made the cake and helped with the layers I made the chocolate filling and decorated the tops.

I also made some chocolate almond truffles to use up some chocolate I had melted.

Here are some more cupcakes we made for family.

And finally another gift basket we made. This one had more savory items instead of sweets because the recipient was diabetic.

Fiddlin' Rooster Farm Bakery

Here are some of the Christmas orders we have been working on in the little red hen bakery at Fiddlin' rooster farm.

Gift basket:

This basket has lots of goodies in it. All of the baskets are made to order to fit each customer. This one was for a family that loved chocolate, so we made chocolate almond truffles, chocolate grasshopper cookies, chocolate pecan toffee, Russian tea cakes, spiced pecans, and muscadine cider. I hope they enjoyed all the treats!

These cupcakes were made for the nursing home in water valley. They were so much fun to make and turned out so cute! We actually got 3 more orders just like these for Christmas.
The cupcakes are vanilla and strawberry. We used fondant and a little butter cream icing to decorate.

Look close all of the snowmen look different! One even has indigestion from eating too much!

I just realized I had these pictures in my camera from the past month. So I hope you enjoy all the yummy treats I got to make at the farm over the fall festival. And as always anything you see I can make for you, a friend, or family.

Cotton Gin Cake

Mom and I made this cake on Friday for a little boy's birthday. He was celebrating his birthday in a cotton field, so we themed the cake around cotton. When he looked at the cake he said,"Ooh it's cotton and a trailer and bails, where is the tractor?" His mother told us that last year the cake had a john deer on it!

I took this picture before we decided on one final detail. So the finished cake had grass around the barn. I will try and get a better picture of it posted later.
