Congrats Katherine....

Here are my first attempt at petit fours. There is definitely a science to these that I have not quite mastered yet. However, according to Katherine, they were yummy almond goodness! Congratulations on your completion of graduate school!

Happy Halloween Birthday!

Up, Up, and Away!

This is a celebration cake for my husband.....After a tough year 2 years ago, there was no better way to celebrate this past year at his new job! Congratulations Bill!

Wedding.....

Well, I have always claimed that I do not do wedding cakes....I guess that I can no longer say that. However, I can say, Been there, Done that....And I will not do that again. It was likely the best wedding gift I have given, but also the most stressful :) Congrats Heather and Tony!

Suitcase Shower

I LOVED this invitation for Abby's wedding shower....Thank you Sally for the inspiration! Congrats Abby!

America the Delicious....

Happy 4th of July....early :) These are vanilla cupcakes with a surprise chocolate filling inside....Yummy, if I do say so myself!

Puppy Love

Happy 2nd Birthday Evie! Evie LOVES puppy dogs, so this cake was designed with her passion in mind.

Cake by Design

Somehow my children end up getting more than one birthday cake for their birthday. We usually celebrate with family when they are in town, and of course we have to have another cake for the ACTUAL birthday. So, my son informed me that he had designed his own cake....so here is my attempt to duplicate his design....

Happy BirthdayS x4 !!!!

This is a cake for 4 cousins.....my two and our two cousins. We are celebrating all the cousins' birthdays while they are in town with us. All the kids birthdays are this summer. My little girl (almost 2) loves puppies, and my son is a baseball fan. Their little cousin wants to be a princess, and her brother is about to celebrate his 1st birthday!

Happy Birthday Jillian!

These are french vanilla cakes (striped purple and white on the inside), filled and coated with buttercream icing. Fondant flowers and butterflies...... Little smash cake for Jillian and 10" cake for everyone else!

Definition of Sin: CAKE BALLS

The Sun Will Come out Tomorrow!

Avery is a huge Orphan Annie fan, so this cake was designed especially for her. Annie and Sandy the dog are gum paste and sit atop a tiny white cake and large chocolate fudge cake. Happy Birthday Avery!

Emma's Baptism

This is a vanilla cake with pink and white striped layers on the inside. Each layer has a buttercream and raspberry fruit filling, covered in marshmallow fondant and decorated with gum-paste flowers.

Congrats on your Baptism Emma! And Happy Easter Everyone!

And special thanks to "Pinkcakebox.com" for the inspiration!

Spring is here!

This is a sample from an order of about 4 dozen cupcakes. Half were vanilla cake with buttercream frosting and the other half were pink lemonade cake with a refreshing pink lemonade frosting. Each cupcake was then sprinkled with crystal sugar (the lemon cakes were also sprinkled with fresh lemon zest). Each cupcake is topped with one of four different gumpaste flowers. I then made cupcake wrappers in two shades of pink and one shade of green to add a little extra "cuteness."

Simple Elegance

This is a cake for a charity auction tonight. Both tiers are chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and raspberry fruit fillings in each torted layer. Can't wait to see what the winning bid is!

Pretty in Pink

Happy Birthday London! These cakes were for precious little Miss London's very first birthday! Her mother did an AMAZING job decorating for the party....soft delicate shades of pink made a party a girl could only dream about! Here is a shot of the 3 tier cake, London's "smash cake" and pretty party decs!

Thank you pinkcakebox.com for your inspiration!

KENO!

So the theme for this month's Keno is "Delicious." This should fit in that category: Bottom: chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and raspberry fillings covered in chocolate fondant. Top: Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and raspberry fillings.

A Bit of Heaven...

Here are some homemade chocolate truffles dusted with cocoa powder or powdered sugar served with fresh raspberries and cream....all dusted with a bit more cocoa powder.

You Might Be a Texan If....

Thank you Jane for ordering this delicious birthday cake. This is a chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling covered in semi-sweet ganache. It is garnished with ganache frosting, fresh raspberries, and of course.....the Shiner beer bottle on top! Happy Birthday Chris!

Valentine's Treats

Here are a few (50) Valentine's cupcakes that are decorated as if they were ice cream treats. In order to transport them, I put them in plastic cups anchored with Valentine M&M's. They are strawberry cake with chocolate icing, chocolate cake with vanilla icing, and my favorite....Chocolate with chocolate icing!

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's DUPLI-CAKE!

I was flattered when Sonia wanted a duplicate of my previous "Super-Hero" cake as a birthday cake for her husband. She creatively changed the top to a message: "You Will Always Be Our Super-Hero!" Thanks Sonia!

Top and Bottom layers: chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and raspberry fillings
Middle Layer: Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and raspberry filling.

Tied up in a bow

Oh BABY!

Boy or Girl? Not sure.....This three tier baby shower cake traveled across 3 states to be delivered! Congrats to Kellie and Tom!

Dog-gone It!

Since the Happy Birthday Jesus cake, I have taken some interest in gum-paste figurines. Thanks to you-tube I have come up with this fondant puppy dog....I think I will make my daughter a puppy-dog cake for her upcoming birthday. The image quality is low due to my unsteady hand while taking the pic with my phone :)

Happy Birthday/Halloween

This spider cake is the large birthday cake for three sisters' birthday party. Each little girl also gets her own mini cake decorated in theme. The spider on top of the large cake is a small cake itself with black licorice legs! The cake was vanilla but was orange and white striped inside!

Old MacDonald rode a John Deere

This is a second birthday cake for a little boy who dearly treasured his toy tractors.....in fact I stole on to put in top.
