Chocolate Guinness Cake!

I adapted one of my moms "famous" chocolate cake recipes , switching the coffee with Guinness stout. I carved the outside, covered it with fondant and painted the Gold logo on it to make it look like a pint of Guinness. This cake came out really well. Because it was carved i got the chance to taste it, and even though i don't like beer, i really enjoyed it.

*square cakes can sometimes be a bit more, because they take more batter and make more servings.

Because each cake is custom made and decorated, prices will vary. We can work together on a cake suited to your budget and style.
~ Rush cakes are available for a small fee.
~ Wedding cakes can be rented ( and customized with ribbon of your choice) and a sheet cake served to save on costs.

PLEASE NOTE:
I do not use a mix of any kind, unless requested to do so. It is not recommended to use a box mix when having a tiered cake, because it is very soft and unstable.

I use real butter, except in cases of allergies or sensitive recipes. Shortening may be recommended for weddings taking place in high heat.

The icing on the cake: Happy customer's comments!

Hi Kelly

The cake was AMAZING! He didn't want to
eat it even! I could not get over what
an amazing job you did, and can't thank
you enough. I wanted to tell you thank
you in person when I saw you come into
the hotel but I had to keep Darcy from
seeing you!We haven't had a chance to
get organized yet to send you any
pictures but as soon as we do I will
send some your way! Everyone absolutely
loved it and you really made the
graduation even more special. And, on a
side note, Darcy and I are engaged now!
He proposed to me in his Surge on Monday
night! I guess food really is the way to
a man's heart! Ha Ha!
Thanks again Kelly for doing truly and
unbelievable job and I kept telling
everyone that it was so fun to do it
because you were so lovely to deal
with and put such effort and love
into your work.

Dear Kelly,
Jarrod was ecstatic along with all his little friends! He was so excited at the thought of his very own cake, that won’t hurt his tummy! The picture doesn’t do the decorating justice. The black jube jubes for coal, Oreo wheels, animals and decorative icing sugar made this cake amazing. Oh, it tasted great too!
