Motorcycle Cake - Homemade Birthday Cake

Special Birthday Cake

        Is anybody's birthday coming?   Here I will introduce how to do a special birthday cake for your friend.

        My friend likes motorcycle very much. I want to make a homemade motorcycle cake for him.

Steps:

1. Print a picture, cut it out and put it up on the cake as a template for cutting the cake and just a coffee cup for the wheels. 

2. The body of the bike is yellow cake.  The wheels are chocolate cake. Both were just box mixes baked in 9x13 pans.

3. For the frosting you can prepared tubs. I used a lot of food coloring (blue, green, red) to get the grayish color for the engine. You can use M&Ms to trace around the blue just for fun. The details make it: used M&Ms for headlights, tail lights and exhaust.

4. Use chocolate frosting and sprinkles for the dirt, spraying out the back.

5. Put the candles on the back part of the cake so it looked like it was flame coming out of the exhaust when the candles were lit.   

       It is a homemade birthday cake.  Also, I wish your friends will like it.

Here is Special Birthday Cake .

Mrs.Field's - Famous Cookies

Mrs. Field's

        I passed by this cookies strore many many times.  Yesterday, I decided to try their cookies.  When I got home, I searched the internet and found it is so famous.  It is the first sweets store which I can found in Wikipedia.

        Mrs. Field's Cookies was founded by Debbi Fields (b. 1956, Oakland, California) in the late 1970s. She and her husband, Randall K. Fields, opened their first of many stores in 1977 in Palo Alto, California, selling homemade-style cookies which quickly grew in popularity. 

       

         I bought a Cinnamon Suger, a Peanut butter.... and a Cookie Cups.

        This "Cookie Cups" is a little sweet to me, but not that kind of too sweet of other cupcakes.  I like its color that is why I bought it.

       Now it is close to Christmas.  Mrs. Fields has some holiday sets for you with free shipping.

Bi-Rite Creamery - Organic Ice Cream

      Bi-Rite Creamery is committed to creating ice cream in a responsible and sustainable manner. They are proud to be the first ice cream shop in San Francisco to use Straus Family Farms organic dairy to create their ice cream. They strive to create unique and exciting flavors that are made with local, organic or sustainable products.

Bi-Rite Market

        Their Coffee Toffee ice cream is made with coffee from their local Ritual Coffee Roasters and almond toffee that they make here in their shop. They Honey Lavender is created with organic dried lavender and honey that is gathered in Sonoma especially for them, less than 40 miles away. Their Rocky Road is made with house made marshmallows and house made chocolate covered almonds. Their Roasted Banana is created by roasting organic bananas with brown sugar until tender and caramelized.

       All of the granitas, sorbets and popsicles they make are made from fruits that are sourced from local organic farms and orchards. Their concord grape granita and popsicles are made from grapes grown on their own farm in Sonoma.

        Not only do they care deeply about their ingredients, they also care about the impact they have on their environment. They use cups and spoons that are biodegradable, their sugar cones are made from organic ingredients, and they source their ingredients as locally as they can. Their tastes are served on metal spoons that don't create waste. In doing so they save over 500,000 plastic spoons from filling their landfill every year.
