Good Monring!

Are any of my cake friends bread bakers? Hobby or otherwise?

We’ve been baking our own bread ( with 8.5x4.5 cast iron bread loaf pans) … I’m in search of a larger bread baking loaf pan, not a round Dutch Oven (we have a few),
but I want either cast iron, ceramic, stainless, or glass. Nothing with a non-stick. If you’re a bread maker and have a large loaf pan you would recommend that doesn’t have a nonstick coating I would love to hear about it. 🙂 Please and thank you!

6 Reasons Baking Therapy is a Genuine Form of Self Care

"Baking can be considered a mindful activity, meaning it focuses us on the here and now, which helps reduce stress and the kinds of future-based thinking that contribute to anxiety," Beurkens says.

Baking and cooking help me to find moments of peace during some of the most challenging times.

Sure, cookies and cakes taste good, but did you know that baking therapy is a real thing that can make you feel good, too? Time to get out your mixer!

It’s a date!

This recipe!! It’s perfect!
I’ll try her “almond joy” recipe next!

https://www.eatingbirdfood.com/snickers-stuffed-dates/

I used Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chips, Natural Delights organic dates, Santa Cruz Organic Dark Roasted Crunchy Peanut butter, then I shelled and chopped some peanuts for the top. They really need the time to chill to get that nice chewy mouthfeel.

They are fantastic! The whole family loves them! It’s a “healthier” alternative to a candy bar.

Cake Information

Hello Cake Lovers! Just as an FYI ... your cake date is not secure until you are invoiced and a deposit is made. That deposit is a confirmation that your invoice has been read and is accurate. Moving forward cakes are not baked or assembled until full payment has been made. Thank you for understanding!

Saturday and Sunday Cake Pick up hours are between 7:00-10:00 am - Please confirm time

Ericakes LLC is a home-based made-to-order custom cake business. Prices are calculated based on cost and time just as you would find in a storefront shop.

Unfortunately I cannot offer ALLERGY accommodations. I just don’t have the capabilities to offer these services safely for you and your loved ones.

Follow me on Facebook for cookie and cake specials offered during the holidays.

Delivery Charges 1.00 per mile, calculated for total miles, to and from event, with a $40.00 minimum for party cakes, one tier.

Anything more than one tier is $75.00 minimum. If the cake needs to be carried in to an event center there is an addition charge. If the cake needs to be set up there is an additional charge, anything 2 tier or larger will be quoted per order.

Standard Cupcakes- Chocolate or Vanilla

Simple design piped buttercream cupcakes, minimum 2-dozen order.

$60.00 one flavor cake, one flavor buttercream (white and one color) 24 cakes/servings- added $10.00 charge to combine flavors in one order of 24 cakes.

· Dozens can be added thereafter

· Dozens can be added to any cake order 6” and larger.

· Custom design or special piping – priced per design

· More than one flavor + $10.00

Cakes -

Tiered Cake or Wedding Cakes -Tiered cakes starts @ 175.00 for a 6” & 4” (up to 34 servings 1”x 2.5/3”in size) simple design buttercream and 2d fondant decor and increase based on size and design.

Wedding cakes are quoted per design due to structure and detailed design elements.

Tiers and layers are different – tiers are stacked different size cakes, layers are created within a single cake.

- most of my single tier cakes are double barrel cakes - twice the cake servings

For people who want a two tier cake, without the added cost of a large cake, I do offer a 6&4” two tier, however, the cake flavors must stay the same or a cost will be added to accommodate for the time increase to create that second batch of batter. Thank you for understanding.

**MY SINGLE TIER CAKES ARE DOUBLE BARREL CAKES! THEY ARE VERY TALL!** It’s like having two cakes stacked, so a smaller cake may be plenty for your serving needs. I offer an internal cake board option to extend servings.

Themed/Custom cakes (cakes that use fondant and other décor to create a theme or custom design) are priced per design. The average cost for a buttercream covered 2d decorated themed cake is $100/$110.00 for a 6” cake. This is an up to 13 serving cake; with an internal cake board you can double that serving size. These are not within every budget, so reach out if you have something more budget friendly in mind and I will try to meet that need.

Double Barrel Single Tier Cakes Per Serving

$8.00 fondant covered fondant 2d fondant decorated

$6.50 buttercream covered 2d fondant decorated

$4.50 buttercream only, one color, no fondant work, no decor.

$5.50 Buttercream cake simple buttercream decorations. 3 colors, one is white.

+10.00 for added buttercream/color

Carved Cake are quoted per design and start at $10.00 per serving, with a minimum of 20 servings.

Trending designs will be quoted per cake based on time and cost.

7” - up to 18- 36 servings (internal cake board + 5.00 for internal board and structure)

Cupcake Cakes - Cupcake cakes require soufflé cups or speciality cupcake papers, a special board, and covering. This is an added charge quoted per theme/design and added to the total the cupcake cake.

Something to keep in mind about cupcake cakes ... Due to the size of these cakes refrigeration is not possible after assembly. They are decorated last possible minute and need to be kept cool in the summer or they will melt. They are large! So if you don't have the room or can’t pick up and take them directly to the event, you may want to consider another option.

· Pull apart frosted as one cake – $5.00 per serving buttercream covered one color per 24 cupcakes with simple 2d fondant decorated – anything elaborate or with multiple colored buttercream and fondant will be quoted per design.

· Pull Apart Cake frosted individually – cupcakes with simple piping, will be charged per cupcake rate – one flavor per 24 cupcakes, one color buttercream per 24 cupcakes. Anything added will be charged per design.

Macarons - almond sandwich cookies

Some Information

Why do your cakes cost more than grocery store cakes?

My cakes take hours to make from start to finish. I use ingredients I would feed to my own family, and that impress even my picky taste buds. In order for my business to survive I have to be sure to make a profit and treat my employee (myself- wink) fairly with compensation for her time and effort.

· I scratch bake my cakes- NO BOX MIX EVER

· My buttercream is made with BUTTER, ALL BUTTER –no shortening or lard and no premade tubs of “frosting” from Wal-Mart or a wholesale club. This is the real deal! BUTTERcream! Why do I specify this? Well, not all “buttercream” is made with butter.

· I make and color my own fondant. It is made with marshmallows and tastes nothing like store bought fondant. People who do not like fondant have said they enjoy the flavor of marshmallow fondant, but it is very sweet. Fondant is used to create designer cakes. It does NOT take away from the amount of buttercream a cake is frosted with. Cakes are fully “frosted” in buttercream before fondant is added. It’s merely a design element. A cover over the buttercream to create a canvas.

· I make my own card stock toppers.

· I buy high quality essence and extracts from a local company

· I use vanilla bean paste; if you know vanilla you know why this matters.

From our first interactions until the end process you should see the difference in care taken for your special event cake, from the first conversations and invoice to boxing for transport.

Cake, Buttercream, & Filling Offerings

I’m sorry, I do not offer marble cake.

Cake: Chocolate, Vanilla

These next cake flavor offerings add an extra charge:

. Any VelvetCake - pink, blue, green, red

· Orange carrot cake

· Eggnog (seasonal)

· White cake (think wedding cake, almond flavor)

Buttercream & Filling Options:

The butter cream flavors are vast and can be combined. If you don’t see what you want just ask, it may be something easy or one I forgot.

Essence and extracts – these are all wonderful tasting, high quality extracts and essence from a local company.

Caramel apple, key lime, vanilla, root beer, cherry, strawberry, raspberry, blue raspberry, blueberry, maple, anise (black licorice), caramel, coffee, almond (which is very nice, think wedding cake flavor), watermelon, banana, apple, pineapple, green apple, lavender, apple, green apple, peppermint, coconut, orange, vanilla bean, cotton candy (which is also super yummy), orange, caramel, peanut butter, chocolate buttercream, butterscotch, caramel apple, strawberry vanilla cream, bubble gum, Peppermint Chocolate, Watermelon, Georgia Peach, Eggnog, Marshmallow, Grape,

Vanilla Bean – classic but perfect!

Oreo Flavored

Chocolate

The following can all be done but will add an extra charge to your cake.

Jams, Jelly, Compote, Curds, Ganache (white, dark, milk), Caramel – homemade, Maple syrup infused will all be quoted per cake, depending on the ingredients and time.

Add +5.00 for each batch of the following buttercream flavors

· Zests: Lemon, Lime, & Orange Buttercream- can all be done as a zest with natural fruit juice. It’s wonderful!

· Coffee buttercream made with pulled espresso shots - worth the added cost of you love coffee. It is caffeinated! It’s an actual pulled espresso shot made with Java Love Organic Coffee!

· Peanut Butter Buttercream – super special - could do a peanut butter and jelly :)

· Browned Butter Buttercream – I can’t explain it, but it’s like a caramelized butter and it’s amazing!

Most commonly ordered cake sizes – guides for cutting! Remember these are double barrel cakes so serving size can be doubled with an internal cake board (example, 6” serves 13x2=26). Average 1x3” slice with the internal board or a 1x6” slice without it. If you are adding the internal board, double the serving size on the list.
