Paula makes this every Easter.
Delicious. it is basically a fruitcake with lots of marzipan, there is a layer of marzipan between the two cake layers as well as the marzipan on the top. ...and the 11 balls on the top are also marzipan. Paula's version this year uses an amazing clementine flavoured marzipan and the fruit for the cake is pre-soaked in Amaretto. ....so very, very almondy!

Stormtrooper Bruce is working hard on yet another installation for Emperor Palpatine's Alphabet project. He yearns to please the P and hopes his photos will get a big fat yes of approval once all is said and done. But when it comes to the P, you just never know.
STB: Well, it's been a long year this month, but it's almost over. Never thought I'd be happy to see Yoda, if you get my drift.
STB: Hopefully young and old alike will find something to enjoy about this one. Then again, something yellow might have been nice. Yikes! Did I really say that?
STB: OK, starting to yawn here. Just a few more angles and then time for lunch, my afternoon nap, and then to polish off that yummy cake.

After a long and grueling week, Stormtrooper Bruce feels totally brain dead, completely exhausted and his energy zapped. It’s Movie Night again - and for once he has no idea what to do. But at the last moment he comes up with something. And at least that's better than nothing.
TK-432: Well, it’s been a minute since we’ve had Movie Night, so I’ve really been looking forward to tonight. And um ...
TK-1110: Me too! But... to be honest, I was not expecting this. What ever this is.
TK-432: You know we love you, bro. But I have to admit that has got to be the most ridiculous thing you’ve come up with in ages. What, in the great galaxy, is it?
STB: Yes, I understand your skepticism, but hear me out. It’s a Trenga. It’s like Jenga for Troopers. I just made it up tonight. And, we get to make the rules as we go. Sound like fun?
TK-1110: We get to make up the rules as we go? I see brewskies and 4 slices of cake. So do we drink the brewskies in order to get to the cake? Assuming the cake is the goal?
TK-432: Oh, I love that! That’s our first rule! But that fourth slice also has the remote with it, and a note. So, does the one who gets that slice, read the note and also get control of what we watch for the rest of the night? Or - do we share, one of us gets the cake, one gets the remote and one gets the note?
STB: As I said, we make it up as we go.
TK-1110: Wait a second! That note is blank. Do we get to make something up? Wow! Just think of the possibilities! Think I’m beginning to like this Trenga!
TK-432: Dude! Like I said, that has got to be the most ridiculous thing you’ve come up with in ages. This totally blows my mind, and I love it! Movie Nights are the best!

22 cm (9 inches) high cake. The upper tier is chocolate fudge cake with white chocolate buttercream and toasted hazelnuts. The lower tier is lime cake layers filled with toasted coconut pastry cream mousseline and iced with white chocolate buttercream.
Covered with white chocolate fondant and decorated with gumpaste daffodils and piped pearl strings.
The weekend has barely begun, and Stormtrooper Bruce is already yearning for the day to end. An impromptu "adventure" throughout the ship has STB wondering Why? Why? Why? can't he just crawl into bed for a long overdue nap? Not even a visit to Fett's rusted out cargo hold was helpful. Why? Because the universe has other plans.
Fett: Well, look what the trade winds of Yavin just blew in! What's up with your four?
YY: Hello, Mr. Fett! We're on a big adventure, a year's worth of scavenger hunting all in one afternoon! Isn't that awesome?
Fett: Yes, it could be. Dude, care to explain yourself?
STB: Well, seems "someone" with a big mouth got a yen yesterday to go looking for things that start with a "Y". So here we are.
Fett: Why?
YY: Yes, that's correct, "Y"! It's for a homeschool project. We visited the Tentacle Gardens Hydroponics Bay to find something yummy, but it was all yucky!
TK-1110: So we settled on this little Yeti at the giftshop instead.
YY: Then, we yielded to temptation, went to the Mess Hall and got this icy tub of Yellow Mellows!
STB: Little Dude, for the last time, they aren't called... you know what, you're right. Call them whatever makes you happy.
TK-432: Are you done yet? Next, we sneaked into the Library Archives and borrowed this creepy little Yoda.
Fett: Wait, you change your name every day, don't you? So who are you today?
YY: Oh, that's the bestest part - today I'm York the Yak!
Fett: O... K...
YY: Yowzer, you sure made a mess with those cards. What happened?
Fett: I was shuffling them when a big yawn overtook me. Wanna play a game of Rebel Yell?
STB: Much as we'd love to, You-know-who is expecting his precious little York back in time for dinner. We barely have time to hit the Petting Zoo gift shop for a yo-yo.
TK-432: Yikes! Voldemort is here? You never said anything about that!
STB: Yet, this day will never end. It's truly been a long year today!

This is the same cake that I made for my mother's birthday two weeks ago. I made it for a priest, it was for his mother's 75th birthday and she loved the cake!
I REALLY need to work on writing with royal icing! I used a cake dummy for the top layer so that the lady could save it, and the bottom two layers are white cake filled with chocolate buttercream, they're covered in buttercream not fondant.
As with the cake I made two weeks ago, these flowers are purchased from cakedecor.com.

copy and paste copy and paste. there's a ton of interesting and fun info here about yellow. see if you learn anything new, or don't read it at all. i just put it here thinking i might come back someday and use this info w/ teaching. maybe not...:)
Yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future. Yellow will advance from surrounding colors and instill optimism and energy as well as spark creative thoughts.
How the color yellow effects us mentally and physically
* Mentally stimulating
* Stimulates the nervous system
* Activates memory
* Encourages communication
In Hindu mythology it is considered that yellow has the power to influence the intellect.
In ancient China, yellow was the symbol of Centre and Earth, one of the main five colors.
In South Korea the color yellow is associated with jealousy.
Near the end of the 19th century, the color yellow was often associated with mental illness, specifically including insanity, and with other sorts of mental problems (e.g. depravity). Examples include The Yellow Book, The Yellow Wallpaper, The King in Yellow, and The Yellow Sign.
In Chinese culture, yellow is associated with royalty, as it is also in southeast Asia. In China, commoners were not allowed to wear yellow until modern times.
In the Malay the term budaya kuning (lit. "yellow culture") is used to refer to lewd or uncouth behaviour, with the implication that such culture is an import from Western societies.
There is a yellow smile, in Arab culture, which is an ingenuine smile. A yellow smile is used when a person is concealing lack of interest, fear, or any emotion he wishes to keep hidden. It is sometimes used as a joke, by making a face of a crooked, ingenuine smile, when somebody tells a bad joke or is trying to make others laugh for something they do not find humorous enough.
Pencils are often painted yellow because of the association of this color with China, where the best graphite is found; in the past, only pencils with Chinese graphite used to be painted yellow.
Yellow and golden are the two most popular colors for painting kitchens.
Yellow journalism was sensationalist journalism that distorts, exaggerates, or exploits news to maximize profit. The term came from Joseph Pulitzer's New York World and William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal American, who engaged in sensational reporting during the late 19th and early 20th century, most famously during the Spanish-American War. The term was derived from the color comic strip The Yellow Kid, which appeared in both papers.
Yellow is associated with hepatitis A, since someone who has that disease turns yellow.
Yellowcake (also known as urania and uranic oxide) is concentrated uranium oxide, obtained through the milling of uranium ore. Yellowcake is used in the preparation of fuel for nuclear reactors and in uranium enrichment, one of the essential steps for creating nuclear weapons.
The March 1967 album by Donovan called Mellow Yellow was very popular among the hippies. The featured song on the album, Mellow Yellow, popularized during the Spring of 1967 a widely believed hoax that it was possible to get high by smoking scrapings from the inside of banana peels, although this rumor was actually started in 1966 by a different musician popular among the hippies, Country Joe McDonald.
Yellow Submarine is a 1966 song by the Beatles (written by the Lennon-McCartney duo) and the theme song for the a 1968 animated United Artists film based on the music of the Beatles.
Yellow Bird is a famous song from Jamaica. The most popular recording was the one done by Lawrence Welk
Yellow is a song written by Coldplay. It appeared on Parachutes in 2000 and reached #4 on the UK Singles Charts.
In the metaphysics of the New Age Prophetess, Alice A. Bailey, in her system called the Seven Rays which classifies humans into seven different metaphysical personality types, the fourth ray of harmony through conflict is represented by the color yellow.
Yellow is used to symbolically represent the third (Manipura) chakra.
Psychics who claim to be able to observe the aura with their third eye report that someone with a yellow aura is typically someone who is in an occupation requiring intellectual acumen, such as a scientist. [7]
In Christianity, yellow represents the deadly sin Greed.
In Buddhism, yellow (actually, the color saffron) is commonly used in conjunction with red, orange , and brown by the monks. The Buddha wore yellow robes after Enlightenment.
In cycle racing, the yellow jersey - or maillot jaune - is awarded to the leader in a stage race. The tradition was begun in the Tour de France where the sponsoring L'Auto newspaper (later L'Équipe) was printed on distinctive yellow newsprint.
The Yellow Pages is the section of a phone book or online phone directory that lists business numbers by category. They are named for the color paper they are printed on in phone books to distinguish them from the regular listings (White Pages).
Yellow is the name of a submarine telecommunications cable system, also known as AC-2
In some countries, taxicabs are commonly yellow. This practice began in Chicago, where taxi entrepreneur John Hertz painted his taxis yellow based on a University of Chicago study alleging that yellow is the color most easily seen at a distance.
In Canada and the United States, school buses are almost uniformly painted a yellow color (often referred to as "school bus yellow") for purposes of visibility and safety, and British bus operators such as FirstGroup plc are attempting to introduce the concept there.
"Caterpillar yellow" and "high-visibility yellow" are used for highway construction equipment.
In the United Kingdom, railway locomotives and multiple units typically have part or all of their ends painted yellow, for visibility.
In the rules of the road, yellow (called "amber" in Britain) is a traffic light signal warning that the period in which passage is permitted is coming to an end. It is intermediate between green (go) and red (stop). In railway signaling, yellow is often the color for warning, slow down, such as with distant signals.
Several light rail and rapid transit lines on various public transportation have a Yellow Line.

I made this for my sister's baby shower (she's having her first baby, a boy, in 3 weeks).
I don't usually like to use fondant, as I'm a purist when it comes to cake decorating, and I feel it takes away from the flavor and texture of the cake, not to mention it's so super sweet, and IMO, kind of an easy way out of frosting and decorating a cake flawlessly using buttercreams, ganaches etc.
However, in this case, I wasn't sure if I was going to make the cake or not, due to feeling a little under the weather this past weekend, SO, I didn't have enough butter for 'enough' buttercream to fill and frost both cakes 'fully', but did have several pounds of fondant for people who request it on occasion.
Yellow cake with rich chocolate buttercream. All toppers are hand-made and cut from fondant.
I created this design based on many images I found on Flickr. This design is not completely an original idea, but just one inspired by many other gorgeous cupcakes out there.
Ingredients:
1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow cake mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 container (1 lb) Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting
4 oz vanilla-flavored candy coating (almond bark)
4 oz semisweet baking chocolate
24 Hershey's® Kisses® milk chocolates, unwrapped
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
2. In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, eggs and peanut butter with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about 2/3 full).
3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cupcakes from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Frost cupcakes with frosting.
4. Line cookie sheet of waxed paper. In separate small microwavable bowls, microwave candy coating and baking chocolate uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds, until melted and smooth. Place coating and chocolate in separate resealable food-storage plastic bags; snip off tiny corner of each bag. Pipe coating and chocolate into feather shapes, about 3 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide (see diagram). Refrigerate coating and chocolate about 5 minutes until set.
5. When set, peel feathers off waxed paper and insert into cupcakes. Place milk chocolate candy on each cupcake for head of turkey.

Yes, I did eat that for breakfast. With a cup of coffee, of course - we have to get all the foodgroups in.
