JessiCakes Project Donations for Each Month

Since its inception, JessiCakes Project has been donating majority of its profits to different charities. Last year, we allocated donations depending on the current events. For example, we donated to Susan G Komen for the Cure in the month of October since it was Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We also donated to Red Cross after a tsunami/earthquake hit Japan, and, most recently, after the catastrophic typhoon aftermath that hit  Cagayan de Oro, a city in the Philippines. There were times when we subdivided earnings to benefit different charities each month.

This year, we have decided to try a different approach. Since there are a dozen charities that we support, we will allocate earnings to benefit one charity each month. If ever there's any emergencies, such as calamities, we will donate to benefit to benefit the victims as well aside to just donating to the charity of the month. We'll be doing a shout out to our customers and fans on our Facebook fan page. We hope that with this new system, we can track who we donate to each month better than last year.

We started off with the American Cancer Society for the month of January, which will be followed by the American Heart Association in February.

We'll keep our blog and Facebook fan page updated with the upcoming schedule as we do additional research as to which charity to donate to for each month.

Thanks to our valued customers for patronizing our products in order to help make this world a better place, one baked goody at a time!

Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Silhoutte Anniversary Cake - 012812

When we were first approached by the husband about an anniversary cake that he is presenting to his wife as a surprise 4th anniversary gift, he did not know where to start. At first, we gave him suggestions and we had planned something to surprise them both. However, five days prior to the delivery date, he sent us a private message on Facebook with a photo inspiration attached. The photo was a 2-tier round cake in white, black and red color scheme with the topper of printed Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse cartoon (not sure if it was printed on edible sheet using edible ink). It depicts the couple with their backs facing the front as they watched the sunset while sitting on a wooden bench.

It was a brilliant idea, which we used as inspiration to create something with our own personal twist. As  you know, even when we're asked to copy anything out there, we do not just copy or mimic exactly what's shown on the picture, but we make it a little different with our own personal touch.


The cake is made of double layered 8-inch round cinnamon swirls cake with cream cheese buttercream. He also ordered cookies and cream cupcakes and cake pops (chocolate and peanut butter candy melts) to go along with it. It's a cake/cupcake.cake pop tower. 

We apologize for the sloppy result on the cupcake frosting. We made the cookies and cream cupcakes and frosted with cream cheese buttercream decorated with a couple of small oreo cookies to look like mouse's ears; however, the frosting was too hard we had to make amendments, but by the time we finished frosting, the frosting liquefied. It was still delicious, just not that appealing.  

We also made silhoutte Mickey and Minnie Cake Pops all in cookies and cream. The Mickey Mouse cake pops were coated in black dark cholocate melts while the Minnie Mouse cake pops were coated with a combination of vanilla and peanut butter candy melts. We used a pair of white sprinkle hearts for the bows.  


In the end, the wife was pleasantly surprised and the husband was happy with the outcome.

Baby Boy Christening Cake - Quilted Blanket & Teddy Bear - 012112

Lots of firsts on this cake. It's our first time to do a 3-tiered cake in squares. It's also our first to do quilted pattern in squares - chocolate brown and pale blue. It's also our first to create diamond-shaped design sort of like the cable shirts popular nowadays. It's also our first time to decorate the cake board with decorative paper, which we covered with contact paper. This was an idea we got from Peggy Does Cake.  If there's anything about this cake, it's undoubtedly for a baby boy.

The teddy bear made of combination gum paste and fondant for easy drying holds a quilted blanket. Funny how the baby boy's older brother took the head and ate it. The mom wanted to preserve it, but, it's headless for now. We think the boy ate the rest, too. LOL.

This 3-tier square cake ( 12", 8", 5"). First layer is a 3-layered yellow, white, yellow cake with nutella and chocolate fudge filling, the second tier is a 3-layer yellow cake with fresh strawberry filling with vanilla buttercream, and the top tier is a 3-layer yelllow cake with chocolate. nutella filling. The Teddy Bear is made of fondant mixed with some gum paste. The cake is covered in marshmallow fondant in a blue and brown theme. 72 cake pops- 18-cookies and cream, 18- red velvet, 18- vanilla infused with strawberry, and 18- rocky road. 24 cupcakes in yellow cake with choco fudge frosting topped with cute outs of a blue bear's head. 

We received great feedback from the mom, family members, and friends who were guests at the reception.

Minnie Mouse Theme Cake - 012112


This Minnie Mouse is like no other. She's svelte, long-legged, and very modern. She's a fashionista, too! She stands eight (8) inches tall and is made of fondant mixed with some gum paste. The cake is 11"x15" 2-layer white almond sour cream cake with fresh strawberry filling and fluffy vanilla filling. The squirrel and flowers are also made of fondant/gum paste. It sort of tells a story where Minnie Mouse while walking along the green brick road met a squirrel along the way. 

We created this theme so that we do not plagiarize the original Minnie Mouse, who is short and a little plump. Our version has kept up with the trends, even the shoes are more modern with heels. Thirty cake pops in cookies and cream flavor were also ordered as party favors. We created a display container to match the color and design scheme. The kids loved them!
