Baby Rattles

More baby rattle cupcakes. These are so fun to make and so easy! I chose to use the sprinkles and a single pattern because the last time I did these I thought they started to look too Easter'ish. The two on the bottom that are all blue I dropped into the sprinkles so those were for tasting by the hostess' husband and daughter.

Becki's Wedding Cake

I had the opportunity to do a wedding cake again a few weeks ago. I will update the site with it's construction in progress photos soon but here is the final product. Unfortunately I forgot my camera when delivering it so these were from my phone. It was ivory fondant with sparkles and ribbon.

A couple more

Cupcakes for a bachelorette party - the wedding is a on a beach so we kept them basic with the sandy color and the blue matches the bridesmaid's dresses.
Bev's 60th Birthday cake. The color did not show up well on camera but it was very bright and pretty, teal and purple which I wasn't initially excited about but the colors surprised me. It was modeled after the party invite with the polka dots.


Check back soon, I am making Halloween cupcakes as a craft for my MOPS (Mom's) Group and

I have a wedding cake coming up in early November that I'm really excited about!

August was cake month

The month of August was all about cake. The third week in particular as I did three cakes that week and had to turn down three others. I did develop a good system though, it was a great learning experience and I am still learning so much and experimenting with new ideas all the time. Now that I don't have any orders in the pipeline I will have to try to have fun with some new recipes and flavors.

Baptism in blue

This was a Birthday cake for all the grandkids' birthdays, they celebrate together once a year. This was the most challenging cake, nothing wanted to cooperate for me. I finally gave up on making tinkerbell and spiderman and bought the candles. The cell phones, flat screen tv and princess I made out of fondant.

Monkey for a 1st birthday boy complete with his own cake for mess making.
I made the bananna out of fondant

Groom's cake - a tree stump with a little tackle box and fishing pole

this was one of the easiest cakes as all you have to do is splotch the icing on, the messier the better

Spiderman cake for a little boy's birthday. I used cookie icing for spidey right from the grocery store as I have tried and tried to make my cookie icing with different flavors but it has never tasted as good as the store bought version.

Garden Party

My friend Angela's Bridal Shower was a garden party so I thought I'd play with gumpaste and make some flowers. It was fun making the flowers. I haven't done a lot of that yet and I have to say I like the look of these better than buttercream flowers.

Baptism part deux

I was lucky enough to get a second order for this cake. I did change it a little bit from the first one I did. I like having a chance to do the same cake over again, I get to do a better job and tweek things I didn't like the first time.

More bugs and a butterfly

I've been in a lull lately and was itching to make something when I recieved another order for bugs. I was really excited to do these again only bigger and better than before. They turned out really cute and were a big hit for a 15 year old's birthday. Now, I will really have to get better at photographing these. Normally by the time I am done and I am so tired and have to get them boxed up for delivery so the photos are taken in haste.
