			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last year I made two <a title="Two Dora cakes" href="http://www.cherryspoon.com/2009/03/16/two-dora-cakes/" target="_self">Dora Cakes</a>, this year the same very special &#8220;clients&#8221; requested a Pooh and a Piglet Cake. Improvements from last year included an X-Acto knife and <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Food   Sharpies</span> Food Writers! Look how cute they turned out!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1736" title="Fondant Pooh and Piglet" src="http://www.cherryspoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0125.jpg" alt="Fondant Pooh and Piglet" width="576" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I started by looking for my templates, I looked up coloring pages online that had both Piglet and Pooh in the same image, so I&#8217;d have the correct proportions in relation to each other.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-1728"></span><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1731" title="All cut up" src="http://www.cherryspoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0103.jpg" alt="Characters all cut up" width="576" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">After that, as you can see above, I cut them up like a puzzle, dyed the fondant accordingly (bought a little Pooh kit)  and with my spiffy brand X-acto knife cut out the puzzle pieces and drew the missing elements with the Food writer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1735" title="Poohs cute face." src="http://www.cherryspoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0122.jpg" alt="Poohs cute face." width="576" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I then placed them on the cakes. The Piglet cake was white cake with Chocolate Ganache, I wanted to have a &#8220;safe&#8221; option since it was a kids party and the Pooh Cake was white cake with <a title="Ginger Honey Cream" href="http://www.sporkorfoon.com/spork_or_a_foon/2009/04/the-cake-slice-bakers-chai-spiced-cake-with-honey-ginger-cream.html" target="_blank">Ginger Honey Cream</a> filling and <a title="No Cook Seven Minute Frosting" href="http://www.recipezaar.com/No-Cook-7-Minute-Frosting-107841" target="_blank">&#8220;No Cook&#8221; Seven Minute Frosting</a>. In the end the more &#8220;adventurous&#8221; cake had more takers than the safe one, it was pretty good, I have to say!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1738" title="IMG_0129" src="http://www.cherryspoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0129.jpg" alt="Pooh Cake" width="576" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I&#8217;m also in love with those Edible Glitter stars!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1730" title="IMG_0135" src="http://www.cherryspoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0135.jpg" alt="It's Piglet!" width="576" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Oh and just in case you didn&#8217;t know yet it&#8217;s <strong>official</strong>, I start attending Pastry School on May 17th!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">I haven&#8217;t done a &#8220;Product I ♥&#8221; since last April, doesn&#8217;t mean my pan collection has been at a standstill! <span id="more-1585"></span>These pretty bug shaped cakes above (next to naked <a title="Mad Men Cupcakes" href="http://www.cherryspoon.com/2009/11/08/mad-men-old-fashioned-cupcakes/" target="_self">Mad Men cupcakes</a>) were a cinch to make!  My awesome friend (and perpetual baking class buddy) <a title="Dessert-o-licious" href="http://www.dessertolicious.com/blog/" target="_blank">Dessert-o-licious</a> gave me the <a title="Nordic Ware Platinum Backyard Bugs Pan" href="http://astore.amazon.com/cherryspoon-20/detail/B0016LXGD0" target="_blank">Nordic Ware Backyard Bugs Pan</a> as a very cool birthday present. Look how cute it is!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Nordic Ware Backyard Bug Pan" href="http://astore.amazon.com/cherryspoon-20/detail/B0016LXGD0" target="_blank"><img class="attachment wp-att-1572 centered     aligncenter" title="Nordic Ware Platinum Backyard Bugs Pan" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/414mHO%2BVA9L._SL500_AA280_.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>If you are <em>anything</em> like me, after the cuteness factor wears off, you start to think &#8220;those those little ridges aren&#8217;t going work&#8230;&#8221;  but it was quite the opposite! Those cute <em>as a button</em> mini cakes pictured came out perfectly with just Pam. There&#8217;s also a silicone version of this pan available, but I am weary of silicone and this one works very well. Do you have this pan? I haven&#8217;t been able to frost them nicely yet, I spared you the frosting carnage picture&#8230; That&#8217;s a future project!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>or one more recipe my Grandma taught me!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1230" title="Corn cake made in a Blender." src="http://www.cherryspoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/DSCN31831-1024x768.jpg" alt="Blender Cake." width="458" height="347" /></p>
<p>This is a &#8220;Blender Cake&#8221;, there are many recipes for such a thing here in Brazil, cake mixes are a somewhat recent addition to the market, so blending cake batter might have been pre-cake mix time saving solution.</p>
<p>This cake albeit very tasty, is hard for me to really describe as cake, it&#8217;s almost a baked flan (consistency wise). It&#8217;s great for a snack or breakfast! It&#8217;s not very sweet and it also has Coconut Milk and Grated Parmesan, just go with it it&#8217;s very yummy!</p>
<p><span id="more-1228"></span></p>
<p><strong>Corn Cake made in a Blender</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>4 Eggs</strong></li>
<li><strong>2 cups of Sugar</strong></li>
<li><strong>1 tbsp Butter</strong></li>
<li><strong>7 oz Coconut Milk</strong></li>
<li><strong>7 oz Milk</strong></li>
<li><strong>3.5 oz Grated Parmesan Cheese<br />
</strong></li>
<li><strong>1 tbsps Baking Powder</strong></li>
<li><strong>2 tbsps Corn Meal</strong></li>
<li><strong>2 tsps All Purpose Flour</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><em>This is the part if the recipe that becomes a little vague however baker common sense will guide you through it</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Pre-heat oven to 350, blend all the ingredients until smooth, pour batter in a greased pan</strong><em> (she said a SMALL pan, I&#8217;m guessing a 9&#215;13 will work)</em><strong> and bake until the toothpick comes out dry. </strong><em>(I asked for an estimate as how long that would take and she gave me the &#8220;really, you&#8217;re asking me that?&#8221; look!)</em></p>
<p><strong>Enjoy!</strong></p>
<p>I will try this on my own time and then add more details to the process, at least how long it took<strong>! </strong></p>
