Rock Star Cake

This rock star cake was made for my sweet little eight-year-old, 

who wanted a rock star birthday!

She loved how it turned out!

 The cake was a chocolate cake with chocolate chips in it, filled with vanilla buttercream frosting and covered in marshmallow fondant.

This birthday cake was made for a little boy who LOVES dogs!

Flower Detailed Chocolate Cake

This cake was a rich chocolate cake with chocolate filling and creamy chocolate frosting.  I used a dark chocolate frosting for the detail work.  This cake was for one of my favorite people, and I am glad she loved it!

Rosette Wedding Cake

This cake was made for a beautiful, classy bride.

She also happens to be my mother.

I was so thrilled to be able to make this special cake for her wedding day.

Half the cake was white cake with buttercream filling, the other half chocolate with chocolate ganache filling.  All of it was iced in an ivory butter cream frosting.

Ombre Petal Cake

This ombre cake was make for a very special birthday cake, using her favorite color.  I love how it turned out!  A white cake, colored for the ombre affect, with vanilla butter cream frosting.

Peanut Butter Cake

In all seriousness, this peanut butter cake with peanut butter frosting may be the most delicious cake I have ever made!  If you have a peanut butter fan in your home, this cake for their next special occasion will make them eternally grateful.

Cookie Monster Cake

This cake was created for the sweetest boy's first birthday!  He also happens to be my baby.  He loves Sesame Street, and this seemed like a great idea.  The cake was a vanilla cake with a chocolate chip cookie buttercream frosting. Yes, there were cookies in the frosting, and it was delicious!

10th Anniversary Cake

My husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary last week!

I wanted to bake him his favorite raspberry flavored cake. It needed to look romantic and simple, and anniversary-ish. :) I was happy with how it turned out, and the raspberry cake with raspberry buttercream is really soooo delicious.

Wouldn't this be such a pretty Valentine's Day gift?

Monogrammed Sugar Cookies

I was asked to make these sugar cookies for a wedding reception. The mother-of-the-groom ordered them. Her idea was to individually wrap them and hang them in a tree for guests to take as they left - how cute is that idea??
I'm disappointed in how my camera failed to capture the colors of these cookies. They were the cutest summery orange and pink, to match the reception colors.

I sampled one of the extra cookies, and was reminded again why I love this recipe. It is such a yummy, soft, buttery cookie - absolutely delicious!

I hope the wedding reception was wonderful and that the guests loved their monogrammed sugar cookies!

Triple Berry Cupcakes

I've added a new flavor recently to my repertoire - triple berry!

I know I always say this, but this may truly be my favorite flavor. ;) I use real fruit in the batter and it bakes into this gorgeous purply color. My camera doesn't do the color justice.

I made a batch of triple berry cupcakes for a church event last night. I frosted them with a raspberry buttercream icing and added a fresh berry on top. I got TONS of compliments, including one woman who repeatedly told me they were, "The best cupcakes I've ever eaten in my LIFE!" It made my night! ;) Thank you!

I think this flavor is great anytime, but especially yummy for those summertime events coming up!

Spring Cupcake Collage

I made this cupcake collage for my spring piano recital. It was a huge hit! There were five different flavors: golden orange, raspberry, chocolate, lemon, and cherry chip. I used a buttercream frosting for all of them. Everyone LOVED them!

Girly Girl Cupcakes

A sweet aunt ordered a dozen cupcakes for her young niece - just because. :)

The niece loves chocolate and pink and purple.

These are chocolate fudge cupcakes with a chocolate ganuache filling. The pink frosting is a strawberry buttercream. The purple frosting is a vanilla butter frosting.

I decided to put bows, flowers, and hearts on the cupcakes to make them extra cute. These decorations are made from marshmallow fondant. The little pearls are also edible.

Hope you LOVE the cupcakes, Alyssa!

Owl Birthday Cake

I had a friend who asked me to make a last-minute chocolate Texas sheet cake for her mother's 85th birthday. She wanted something simple that included owls. This is what I came up with:

I like the little owls, and the 85 on the tree. :)

I hope she had a fantastic birthday!

Royal Cupcakes

My little princess had a birthday this week! We made cupcakes for her school celebration. These cupcakes are chocolate fudge cake with ganauche filling and with chocolate frosting topped with marshmallow fondant decorations. They were a huge hit with all the kids (and the teachers)!

"Owl" Love You Forever! Cupcakes

I am in LOVE with these little fondant owl cupcakes! I made these for my daughter's school Valentine's Day party, and they were a huge hit! The cupcakes were strawberry flavored cake with buttercream frosting. The owls are made from marshmallow fondant. They were delicious!

I adore these cute little Valentine's Day cakes I made this morning - one was ordered from me, but once I made it I wanted to make more! I love that they are just the right size for the special treat for the one you love!

Wedding Reception Cupcakes

I didn't get a great picture of these, but Tyler and Taylor (see wedding cake above) served 300 cupcakes at their wedding reception. There were three flavors: vanilla cupcakes with a cherry baked into the middle, frosted with almond buttercream frosting / chocolate fudge cupcakes with a creamy chocolate filling and frosted with creamy chocolate frosting / spice cupcakes with an orange buttercream filling and a frosted with orange buttercream. Each cupcake was frosted with a rosette on top:

The pretty display at the wedding reception:

Yummy!

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

This is a new flavor I've added to my repertoire, and I'm loving it this fall! These are moist pumpkin spice cupcakes. They are topped with a cream cheese cinnamon frosting. Mmmmmm . . . they are SO yummy! This would also make a delicious cake! What a great addition to any autumn gathering.

Autumn Piano Recital Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for my recent autumn piano recital. I thought they turned out very pretty, and sooooo yummy!

There were five different cake flavors: chocolate fudge, vanilla, strawberry, spice, and cherry. The frosting flavors were vanilla, almond, vanilla-orange, chocolate-orange, and chocolate. My personal favorite combination? Chocolate fudge cupcake with vanilla-orange frosting, or vanilla cupcake with chocolate-orange frosting. My husband's favorite: spice cupcake with almond frosting. Delicious!
