Slammin' Sammiches
Last week's Gastropost Food Mission was "Slammin' Sammiches"! I personally think that it was designed for me! Over time I have made many yummy sandwiches bbut I will say that this French Vanilla Bean and Watermelon sandwich was light and sweet! Very refreshing and a great way to say goodbye to summer.
Gastropost has some really great followers and there are many postings from really amazing people! I am enjoying being apart of this group of Foodies!

French Filled Beigtoast
Cinnamon Raisin Beigtoast with Peanutbutter Banana Peanutbutter with Banana's and chocolate cream cheese has to be by far the most craziest thing I have ever made! I fried this crazy sweet delight in butter and covered it in icing sugar! This treat is just that - A TREAT! Once in a blue moon and not a daily dessert.
I also made these bad boys Cinnamon Raisin Beigtoast with Cranberry Peanutbutter and a berry nut trail mix with chocolate cream cheese!
So, this is me cooking my way.

Indulge in New Orleans
Something that I had done without is indulging in Beignets, King Cake, Pralines, Bread Pudding and Roman Candy! All sweet treats known in New Orleans, among other places but each of us knows what place in the world that makes the best!
What could be better than the deep fried Beignets? Dough fried than covered in white sugar powder and served hot on the plate! They are a delightful square cut piece of perfection in your mouth with a side of milk chocolate or what I prefer caramel! These Beignets came to light in the 18th century and have become the hottest sweet treat 'til this day!
King Cake is huge during Mardi Gras but you can still find them in café's The odd thing about the cake is the a small plastic babydoll is baked right in the cake. It represents baby Jesus. The person to get the slice with the baby was to be the next host at the next party! Mardi Gras is rooted from Catholicism. This cake is filled with pecans, raisins, brown sugar and cinnamon. During Mardi Gras it is covered in purple, gold and green sprinkles. Canned cherries and pecans are used instead of the sprinkles out of Mardi Gras season.
Paula Dean makes a great Bread Pudding that is to died for. Somehow everything in the South taste better! Perhaps it is that fact that they love butter and love food even more. Butter seems to go well with any dish!
Pralines are a sweet treat that you can have over any ice cream or desserts. I love them with French Vanilla ice cream and apple pie. You just cannot beat the pairing of these sweet tasty items! Or maybe it is just me that cannot say 'NO, I will pass on that dessert!' Ya Right!
Roman Chewing Candy is Taffy that comes in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavours. This treat has been made by a family since 1915 by the same family! They still sale these treats from the same mule cart.
New Orleans has inspired me to come up with some new flavour profiles to add to our menu using the ingredients from these New Orleans extraordinary desserts and sweet treats. Coming soon so make sure to check in often to see what I come with. The Southern fresh air will be passing through my Kitchen 'Lab'!

Special, Thank you
It is not always easy finding the right people to work with or for you. But I have to say that I am very lucky to have Chantal (Baking Assistant in Training) this special person work her fingers off helping me with this cake and I could not have done it without her help!
My assistant who drives around with the longest list ever to find items that at times I do not think exist, nor does he!
I also need to thank a special friend who came through for me at the last minute. He was able to find the non-existed things that were missing from my long list!
I am truly grateful and will always hold these important people in the highest regards.

Doctor Who - Tardis Cake
We had an odd order last week for The Tardis Cake from Doctor Who. I will admit I had heard of the show but had never seen it so I did not know what 'Tardis' was. I had to look it up and when I did I have to say that I was super shocked! I mean I have never made anything like it before and was not sure I was going to take the order.
In the end I decided that I am willing to try anything. Learning new cakes styles and designs is apart of what I do. Being self taught is a challenge but I am up for them.
Putting together a few photographs together to see how I was going to go about this cake was fun because I really got to see what everyone else was doing. I had my sister, an assistant and a friend find me everything I needed to create the Tardis Cake. Which was not an easy task for them but they are the greatest and pulled through for me.
The cakes were Milk Chocolate and French Vanilla. Vanilla buttercream and Vanilla Royal Blue fondant was found. Dowel Rod were used to hold the cake into place. Edible pens was used for the posted notice on the door and cookie cutters for the windows and lettering. I also used edible dust for shading. Craft brads for the door handles and key hole.
Of course it is always sad to see a cake that took a lot of hours to make get cut into but that is the whole point! At the end of the day we had fun making the Tardis Cake and our clients had a great time at their Theme Birthday Party!
From all of us at Loaded CupCakes & Other Sweet Treats we wish Dre a Happy Birthday and thank you for sharing your special day with us!
Your Kitchen Chemist
"Thank you! Yeah it was fun! A little tiring because had been working on a catering order Friday then immediately had this party on Saturday for my husband! But well worth the smile on his face. Seriously though.. you have a talent. Never going to anyone else for my cake needs and you can be sure you got a LOT of referrals! Tough cake to make! I was impressed! As was everyone!" From WP. Kitchen Cultures
Cassava Cake
Cassava Cake is both sweet and mosit. Some say that is has a bitter taste but this weekend I had the Cassava Cake from Pansit Catering at The Taste of the Hills. It was a sweet cake and I will admit that I had to have another one because it was so delicious.
Now, I have had my mind spinning from this little sweet gem that I have no choice but to come up with the perfect Cassava Cupcakes! That is right! Your Kitchen Chemist will be working hard in the Kitchen Lab to make this sweet treat and have it on our menu!

Traditional 'High Tea Time'
It was High Tea Time for our family and friends last week! What makes our 'High Tea Time' different is we have it at midnight for all the ladies. We made many different cakes, cookies, puddings, cinnamon raisin French toast, truffle and more. Of course we had out tea as well. Add some fruit, macaroons and chocolate and this Tea Time was a party like no other!
The Tea Time was a special one as we have some new additions in our family and announced a few more bundle of joys on their way! This January, February and March!
It is always fun dressing up and being very girlie. We have so much fun talking to each other and laughing over so many amazing memories. The little girls growing up in this circle have always loved this tradition and it is one that we will always continue to enjoy for years to come!

Any Time Breakfast - Dessert
Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day if I had to choose! Although, I believe you could have breakfast food any time of the day or night!
I love to make Fresh Blueberry Phyllo Pies with ricotta cheese or cream cheese filling. This sweet treat is best when you are able to pick fresh blueberries during the summer time.
The latest Gastropost mission is 'Summer Indulgences' so, these pies are a special summer indulgences for my family. I love to make these with raspberries, strawberries, cherries or bananas too. They are great for breakfast or as a dessert.

Nutella & Melted White Chocolate Shortbread Cookies
How could anyone say "NO" to these little sweet treats? I can tell you from all the orders I have received not many are saying no. These nutty chocolate bites have been a HUGE hit for us and we are happy to put them on the menu as a regular item! A shortbread chocolate chip cookie with melted white chocolate added to Nutella and cream cheese. They melt in your mouth and dance on your tongue. We are so happy you all loved them. Thanks so much!

Desserts in a Jar
I have always thought that the person who came up with desserts in a jar was very clever! I love the idea of putting sweet treats inside a cute jar and filling them in layers. Tie ribbon and spoon to it and you have a great presentation. From this order I layered Lemon Cake, Strawberry Mousse, Lemon Custard and topped it with a macaroon. I made them pretty in pink with the labels and use pink and yellow ribbons. I was lucky with the jars and found a few different shapes as well the seals were different in colours. These jars where purchased at the dollarama in Oshawa and made these sweet treats in a jar a good conversational piece at the birthday party!

One of those days
Everyone has one of these days where you are so tired and you still have so much work to do before calling it a night. (I see you shaking your head!) There is never enough time in the day to complete everything you want. No matter how much would do, at the end of the day we could use a couple more hours.
My brain fart moment of the night is I misspelled "FLAVOUR!" and posted everywhere "Favour" (she sighs sadly) What can I say? It happens and it was corrected. The most important thing is we have NEW FLAVOURS coming this week! We cannot wait for you to try these sweet treats and enjoy them as much as we do.

Baby Shower Theme Owls
Baby Showers are one of my favourite events! Being apart of a special event is very exciting.
This past weekend the theme was Owls. Owls are now every where but at the same time hard to come by. The main colours that I seem to run into is blue with brown, pink with brown, green with brown and orange with brown. Which is perfect but I have also come across many other colours that are very creative.
One of my assistants searched high and low for a cookie cutter in the shape of an owl but came up empty handed. Making them by hand was an option or ordering them in. I placed an order but was not sure if I would get them on time, so I made several attempts to make them on my own!
In the end the order came through (thank you, Bruna) because I could not make these little Owls so small to fit on the mini cupcakes!

CakePops
Every where you look for treats you can be sure to see CakePops among them. We have had a few request for these little treats on a stick and they can be a bit tricky to make.
At times the chocolate does not want to work with us but in the we overcome and complete the orders.
Here are some tips:
1) when the chocolate has melted take it off the heat and wait five minutes before you start dipping the cakepops into it
2) dip straight into the chocolate, twist once and use a spoon you cover the rest
3) tap the stick to get the extra chocolate off
4) add toppings before the chocolate dries
5) have a styrofoam sheet to press sticks into so that the pops may dry
