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."
