B is for believe it. I am seriously blogging the entire alphabet. This is happening. Learn more about the A-Z April Blogging Challenge here. All beginning with the letter B, I give you photos of my culinary career creations.

Black and White Mousse Cake

This was a top seller at one bakery where I worked as the pastry chef. Inside are two layers of chocolate cake with a layer of chocolate mousse and white chocolate mousse in between. Decorated with chocolate curls, buttercream rosettes, and zebra striped mini cigarillos.

Boston Cream Pie Cakes

Here is the classic combination of vanilla sponge cake sandwiching pastry cream, topped with chocolate ganache and a maraschino cherry. A ring of acetate holds these 4″ individual cakes together. I made them for a product development pitch. They didn’t make it past the design phase but they look good, right?

Banana Bread Loaves

At one bakery job, a large part of my weekly schedule involved baking huge racks of teabreads. Banana walnut was my favorite flavor. Of course I had to “test” one loaf out per batch, just to make sure they tasted right. Let me tell ya. Nothing beats a hot slice of warm crunchy banana bread slathered with butter in the morning. The challenge in making batches of banana bread this large was ripening whole cases of bananas before the employees ate them all up. I used to have to hide them in trash bags in the office, safe from prying monkey hands.

Blueberry Bundt Cake

Here we go with another bundt cake glamour shot for the giant bundt cake factory where I worked as Research & Product Development Manager. I didn’t design this product but I did design the photo. If you live in the U.S., you have probably seen one of these cakes in a grocery store near you.

Baby Carriage Cake

I decorated this baby carriage cake frosted with buttercream basketweave design. I didn’t design the cake itself though. This was an exact copy of a photo provided by the customer. I haven’t been able to identify the original artist unfortunately but it’s a super cute design and I had fun replicating it.

Blue Ombre Box Cake

This square cake frosted in vanilla buttercream and decorated with modeling chocolate ombre decorations has a video tutorial.

Bubble Machine in Gingerbread

This gingerbread bubble machine was a part of my Wonka inspired gingerbread candy factory. Check out my photo tutorial on how this was made as well as the entire photo gallery of this giant award-winning cookie house.
