Catching Up!

Here are some cakes I've done in the past I keep forgetting to post.

This one is a vanilla cake with cream cheese filling and fondant decorations. It was a super last minute cake for a repeat client :)

This one was done for a friend's kid, who sadly never got it :( No worries, my kids enjoyed it!!

This cake was for the winner of June's cake giveaway :)

These are mini cupcakes I did for my daughter's 3rd birthday, a looong time ago. I completely ran out of time and only had time to pull off the cupcakes, she still reminds me she didnt get a super awesome cake :)

This was a cake I did way back when I still thought I had to make individual cakes for each tasting! I think this was actually the first tasting I had . . .

This cake I pulled off in like 2 hours I think, or something crazy like that. I was looking for clothes for my kids on CL when I saw this post for someone that was asking for used toys for a little girls birthday party because there was an unexpected cost and all the money for the party had been used. I didn't have any toys, but felt really touched with the courage of that mother so I called her up and offered a cake. A few hours later, there she was on my doorstep elated with the cake!

This one was a small anniversary cake for a friend. Its vanilla cranberry with cranberry filling.

This was a smash cake for a friend's kid. I think it was chocolate with buttercream frosting and I handmade the Elmo and #1 out of modeling chocolate and the decorations are all fondant.



Cat in the Hat

This is the first sculpted cake I attempted. The hat part is cake and the fish bowl is rice cereal. The fish is all fondant and then I used edible marker for details.

Here's a picture I took, but I forgot to take a picture of the cupcakes that went along.

Luckily, here's a picture my client took WITH the cupcakes :) They're purple cause they're suppose to look like the ones in the movie!



My First Cupcake Tower

I love cupcakes, they are easy and cute. Put them on a cupcake tower and you get a instant elegant centerpiece to any party! Here's my very first cupcake tower I attempted.

I think there were 70 cupcakes total, consisting of a mix of standard size and mini cupcakes. I also did a small 6" cake on the top for the birthday girl. This also was the first time I got to use my Cricut Cake ! I did all the decorations out of gumpaste. You can't really tell but I did two different kinds of butterflies for cupcake toppers and little #1s.



1st Birthday Cakes

I absolutely love kids birthday parties. Especially 1st birthdays. They are my favorite. This week I was lucky enough to be booked for TWO 1st birthday parties.

Here's one of the cakes I did. This was a BIG cake. Its a three tier (8", 10", 12") and feeds about 88-118 people. I made it out of chocolate and strawberry filling. Its frosted in hot pink buttercream and then I added zebra frosting sheets to the middle tier, and did hand painted zebra tiaras, bow and #1 out of fondant.  I also did a matching smash cake, but forgot to take a picture (boo).

This cake I did for a friend. Its a 2 tier (8", 10"). I did the top tier out of carrot cake and cream cheese filling and the bottom tier red velvet and cream cheese filling. I frosted it all in buttercream and did gumpaste flowers, butterflies and the #1. I absolutely LOVE this cake. I always work so much better when I'm given free rein :) OOh, plus I was invited to the party so I actually got to eat some (bonus)!
