Celebration Cakes

Cakes are not just for birthdays and weddings. They sweeten every occasion. Here are some cakes I've done in the past.

This is a Halloween cake I made for my friend Carolann's party. It wasn't my best work and my husband did not like cause he hates the taste of fondant. I'm not crazy about fondant either. It's definetely an acquired taste but its amazing the things you can do with it that you just can't do with buttercream!

This is an Easter egg cake I did. It was for a clients husband's birthday which happened to be on Easter as well. Lucky fellow :)

Yes, this is a cake! Its a flower pot cake I made for my friend Karina for her mama for Mothers Day! Its actually the second one of these I made. I will post the other one later. It looks complicated but its actually really simple to make.

Like I said, you don't need any special occasion to have cake, or in this case cupcakes! Pictured here are some strawberry cupcakes filled with vanilla pudding and topped with vanilla buttercream. I made these dainty pink cupcakes for my sister just because :) I made one dozen but somehow only 4 (mom and grandma . . .) made it to her!

This cake is my most recent. I made last thursday for my daughter's preschool graduation ( . . .sniffle . . .). Yes, ladies and gentlemen she is now a KINDERGARTENER!! It doesn't seem like that long ago we brought her home from the hospital :(  Its  a pretty simple concept that I came up with earlier knowing I wouldn't have much time to do. It took me about 25 mins to bake and another 20 mins to decorate. I cheated a little and bought those new Wilton frosting sheets. The taste wasn't that bad and it beats using 3 bottles of dye to get that nice dark black color. I wanted to do the writing in actual powdered sugar to look more like chalk but tried and failed, plus time was not on my side. I'm pleased with how it came out and my daughter was elated! She couldn't believe that she could eat the cake. She keep saying, "So its not for sale, Mommy?" Lol, don't feel bad for her. I always make extra because who can really say 'no cake' to kids when this is what you're doing all the time at home?!
