In His Honor

Today, CFAM honors a gentle and humble man whose life has ended too early in our human eyes.

Ed touched many people around him in more ways than he probably ever knew.  His kindness, meekness, and generosity were spoken large but mostly in the smallest of ways.  And, yet, those ways are the most important; the actions not so easily visible or notable, but are surely remarkable over time.  Like a constant drip of water, pouring out goodness and a servant heart, Ed, you eroded the facade of all that kept us from being human with each other, helping us wash away our sharpest edges and the things of us that make us fake to each other.

Today, we honor you, Ed Mehall.

How Do You Celebrate?

How do you celebrate the big game?  Do you go to your favorite hangout to watch?  Do you get together with a big group of people?  Or do you avoid it all together?

Well, this is how we celebrate and with a great group of people:

And the boy swells with Blue pride!

It's a very snowy morning in West Michigan and a little 8 year-old boy is feeling Blue pride while everyone else exclaims to him, "Happy Birthday!"

This Michigan Wolverine cake is a full layer of rich chocolate cake with creamy chocolate butter frosting, layered with green-colored, and infamous, cream cheese frosting.  The helmet is marble on marble frosted with cream cheese frosting.  The face guard is mostly black fondant and incorporates pretzels for the vertical braces.  Of course, the design of the helmet and Michigan logo is custom-cut blue and yellow fondant.

Custom cakes are always a delight and a chore.  The feeling of accomplishment is better than any of those plastic trophies you used to 'earn' as a kid.  The work it requires to get there seems impossible; however, this baker loves the challenge because the reward is worth it!

The Birthday Girl, Cowgirl Style

Doesn't every little girl want to have a horse?  First, it starts with a doll, then another, then a whole family of dolls.  But when does her request 'graduate' from dolls to horses?

Well, the only Stang this baker is hoping to get is his Mustang - at least initially - but he can definitely give her a cake, horse style.

5-tiered ice cream cake: 1 layer each of cookie dough and cookies-n-cream ice cream sandwiched between 3 layers of chocolate cake and frosted with vanilla and chocolate butter cream and decorated with fondant.

The Wild West cowgirls

Happy Birthday, my sweet girl!

(Click on the image for a better view!)

Remember, every order placed from now until December 31, 2012, will automatically be entered for a free 6" cake after the new year!

The baker would write more, but he's a little busy in the kitchen.  So, until then, cheers!

Christmas with White Chocolate and Peppermint

The smells of sweets, sweets, and more sweets may soon be surrounding your kitchen.  For others, it may already be here.  Of course, at CFAM, we keep it going all year round.  This year, we truly break out the flavor.  Today, we're enjoying a very sweet, decadent, peppermint-white chocolate-eggnog cake.  Who said you couldn't squish all those wonderful flavors together?

Layered in Christmas-colored cake with robust eggnog and nutmeg smells, frosted with the richness of butter and white chocolate, and finally dusted with peppermint candies.  Someday, there will be candy bar that tastes like this too.

Merry Christmas!

It's National Cookie Day!

It's National Cookie Day!  Did you know that?  We kind of forgot that too, but don't we all forget those minor holidays anyway?  Next year, we won't!

So how will you celebrate on National Cookie Day?  Oreos dipped in a full glass of cold milk?  Stiff yet flavorful gingersnaps and a warm, spiced drink?  Here in the CFAM household, we celebrate with freshly baked, warm chocolate chip cookies with a cold glass of skim milk - yes skim, because we're still conscientious about our figure. :-)

The warm and exquisite chocolate chip cookies ready for dunking!

But don't be jealous, because you may also indulge in these chocolaty delights.  Head over to cakesforamustang.com and place your own cookie order.

Thanks again for your support!
