Polka Dots and Cut Fingers?????

I totally cut my pointer finger to day while I was leveling a cake I was using for a birthday cake I was making. Now i know what you are thinking.......did any get on the cake!?..........no.  I really sucked though!  It was hard decorating the cake with a bandaid on!  But the cake turned out really cute!  It was a strawberry cake from scratch with a from scratch strawberry filling!  I didn't taste it all together but separately the cake and filling tasted amazing!  I hope the family thought so too! The smaller cake was a smash cake for the little 1 year old to dive into!

Barney Wedding

I had the opportunity to make a wedding cake for a family friend this past week.  From the moment I saw the pic of what she wanted I thought "I have to do this wedding cake"  Thankfully they wanted me to do it as well.  It was so incredibly stunning!  I made her a lemon cake with lemon buttercream.  The decoration was what I could only describe as fondant petals coming off the cake!  We used yellow stargazer lilies and blue orchids on the cake.  Here are the pics of the completed masterpiece!  I got such a great compliment from the photographer (who I hope will send me some of the pics he took of the cake), he said "being in this business, I have seen literally hundreds if not thousands of cakes and this one is one of the most unique and beautiful I have seen!"  Made me feel pretty darn good! Enjoy!

 

My little monkey turned two!!!

My little baby boy is not a baby anymore!  He turned two yesterday!  Its kind of funny because the more I get into cakes the simpler my kids cakes get!! ;)  whoda thunk right?  n-e-ways my sons bday cake was chocolate with a peppermint cream filling and a butter-cream grass frosting with a dirt (mint cookie) road in the shape of a two with super cute car candles and checkered flags on it!  It was so yummy!!

Rain drops on roses and snowflakes on.......cupcakes?

I thought I remembered the words to that song "My favorite things" but apparently I don't! ;)  Oh well, the snowflakes part goes with my most recent creations.  300 absolutely beautiful....and scrumptuous tasting I might add.......cupcakes for my friends wedding reception.  I made three different kinds, 100 of each.  Chocolate with a peppermint cream filling and buttercream frosting done in lemon grass green with two small snowflakes and tiny edible pearls on it.  A white cake with a custard cream filling, eggplant colored buttercream frosting with one big fondant snowflake and tiny edible pearls, and finally a red velvet cake, with cream cheese filling, a cream cheese/buttercream frosting decorated with sparkly crystals and tiny pearls.!  I think they all turned out amazing!  Enjoy!

Its been a while....where ya been?

Its been a while since I posted last and I had a few cakes since then and a few more from before that that I apparently forgot to post about :)  I had an AMAZING wedding cake, a haunted house cake, a baby shower cake, my brothers 40th birthday which was an ice cream super hero cake.  Lots and lots of fun times!!  I have also commissioned wedding cupcakes for January!  Can't wait to post the pics of those!

Isn't this so cool!

This is the cake set up at the party!

This is the one pic of the wedding cake that would stay the right way I will try to post more later.

These are some cute lemon cupcakes that I make for my moms bday this past sept.

Forgot to mention this one.  This was a Dora the Explorer cake I made for a friends little girl!

I made those logos on the cake out of fondant

Cupcakes for my brothers bday.  yes I made those logos out of chocolate!

I didn't get a picture of the finished cake on this one for some reason, but I made this one for my nephews bdays.  my one nephew is in the Navy seal Cadets program so I hand painted their logo onto fondant.  My other nephews are really into cars and was in the process of making the cars logo for them!

Super cute baby shower cake I made for a friend.  Turned out so cute I think!
