Nacha's Sweets

My recently last cake I decorated was a Minnie Mouse cake. This cake has been my absolute favorite cake. My customer wanted a about three dozen cupcakes, a dozen chocolate covered marshmallow pops, a dozen chocolate covered pretzels, and the small Minnie Mouse cake with Minnie’s head on the top. This cake put me to work, it was a fun and girly cake. My favorite part of the entire order were the mini Minnie Mouse cupcakes. They looked like little tiny Minnie mousses, I wanted to keep them for myself they were adorable. I challenged myself for this cake by covering the Minnie Mouse head with fondant. I wanted to practice on covering something like a cake with fondant. Every day, and every cake order I learn something new. This new journey ahead will teach me everything I need to know in baking and decorating cakes. I am sure looking forward to it. Cake Date: March 2017

The cake above, as you can see is full of color. All the colors stand out individually and together as a group. As a cake decorator, you should always go with what the customer wants, as strange as it may seem. Always leave them with good customer satisfaction and great service. When a customer talks to me about what type of decoration they would like on their cake I always let them know if I am skilled enough to give them what they want. I am not an expert at covering a cake with fondant. I can make simple decorations like bows or simple decals to make the cake look presentable and nice. If a customer shows me an example of the cake they want and I know I am not all that skilled in making what they want I always let them know what I can and cannot do or I find a solution for them. The key to it is to have a customer happy and satisfied. I do not tell them my weaknesses in cake decorating to drive them away from any service. I do it so that they know what they may expect from me....

One of my first customers wrote to me and told me they wanted the colors turquoise, yellow, and pink for their birthday cake. at the beginning, i was a little worried as to how I would make the color turquoise onto a cake. luckily, I found the exact food coloring and could make the color they wanted. I loved the color combination, it was something different and unique. Cake Date: February 2017

After a couple of months without decorating or baking any cakes, a new beginning started. I decided on November to finally make a Facebook page of my sweets. Many of my friends and family were trying to convince me to sell my own cakes and bakes. I finally made up my mind and started simply by making the page. I called it "Nacha's Sweets", which is the reason for my blog's name. I decided on this name because I wanted to base my name off not only making cakes but making other baked goods such as cookies, cupcakes, chocolate covered pretzels and much more. this cake shown above was the very first cake I sold. I am such a perfectionist when it comes to decoration. I did not like the decoration at all, once I saw my friend's reaction to the cake I was more than happy. If the customer is happy and satisfied with the cake I am more than happy. Once I saw their reaction and looked at the cake I loved it and it has been one of my favorites. Cake Date: Febru...

The Minion Cake has been my favorite goofy cake. It was the first fun cake I created. I made it for one of my cousin's birthday on August of 2016. My family and I were amazed to how it turned out. the look on their faces were priceless. My grandmother told me to be creative with it, to try and create a minion's face onto the cake. I thought it was going to be impossible and that it would not turn out the way I would have liked it to be but it turned out better than I expected. it was extremely fun to try and figure it out and I loved the results. Hopefully I get to make more these kinds of cake. Practice makes perfect.

            "Purple Roses", that is what I would name this cake. Silly, right? This cake was the first cake I attempted in decorating with this now famous buttercream decoration. My grandmother baked the cake and I helped in decorating. We often bake together when it comes to creating something new. She is basically my assistant as well as I am hers. We made this cake for my aunt, she wanted to give it as a thank you gift for my little cousin's teacher. It was, I believe in June of the year 2015 or last year 2016. I can't quite remember but I loved how it turned out.
