Yo Gabba Gabba Birthday Cake

 Progress and finished Yo Gabba Gabba! 3 tier fondant covered birthday cake. Sketches and Fondant / Gum paste figures for the cake.

We ended up leaving the buttercream borders off as we wanted to preserve the characters.  Also had to do some last minute buttercream writing when fondant letters were the original plan but it worked out.

Each tier consisted of two layers with buttercream in the center, each layer filled with cream cheese filling.  Topper was made of rice crispy treat covered in brown fondant and buttercream "Fur"

Say goodbye to store bought vanilla...FOREVER!

Found a recipe a few months back for home made vanilla extract.  After weeks researching subtle differences between the 3 main types of vanilla beans (Bourbon Madagascar, Tahitian, and Mexican) and the  best alcohol to use for extracting their flavor, and finally finding quality vanilla beans in bulk locally, we finally have started our batches of double strength vanilla extract.  It won't be ready until summer '13 so until then we will continue to use our premium local vanilla. 

 Day 1 and day 10 of extraction.
