Good Luck Pennant Flag Cake

As a manager, it's HARD to lose good employees. Even though they move on (understandable when it's a good career move, as this one was) I do try to let my colleagues know they are appreciated. Sometimes, I make them a cake like this one. :-)

Simple, but I thought it turned out pretty cute. Golden vanilla cake with vanilla creme filling, buttercream frosting and the pennant flags are marshmallow fondant. 

Zebra Striped Good Luck Cake

Saying good-bye ain't easy, right? Ok, well, sometimes it is but we don't need to mention THOSE situations here. (Let's save them and discuss over coffee, heh heh). Said "so long" to a boss/co-worker/friend today with this fun cake. We're both traveling some uncharted territory right now so I thought we'd take a trip on the wild side with zebra stripes, which are ALWAYS fun (if not always appropriate)! Added some bright flowers and turquoise trim and VOILA! Exciting exterior masks a boring cake: plain vanilla with buttercream frosting. That's how she likes 'em, apparently. But she did LOVE the look. Best wishes, Brandie, and may your future be bright, with a side of WILD. ;-)

Good-Bye and Good Luck Cakes

Said "so long" to two co-workers recently. Made them each a cake to make it a "sweet" parting. :-) Saharras cake was vanilla, Marvin's was chocolate, both had raspberry filling.
