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.

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?

Piano Wedding Cake

The couple that ordered this wedding cake had the cutest story ever! The bride is a piano teacher, and the two met when the groom signed up to take piano lessons - now they are married! What a sweet story. They wanted a wedding cake to represent their history together, and so we decided on a piano keyboard for the bottom layer. They requested that the middle layer have the music to Theme From Love Story - wasn't that a romantic idea? The top layer we experimented with, but in the end, I think the piano keyboard repeated tied the cake together best. This bride and groom have excellent taste, as they chose my very favorite cake flavors - pumpkin cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting and raspberry cake with raspberry buttercream frosting. The whole cake was also covered and decorated with marshmallow fondant. I cut and served the cake at the reception, and it was fun to hear all the comments about how delicious the cake tasted, and see many people come back for seconds. Not a piece was left at the end of the night! Catherine and Aaron - I wish you the very best of luck. Congrats on a beautiful wedding!

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!

Pink Swag Cake

This cake was ordered for a Young Women activity for my church. They wanted something that resembled a 'mini' wedding cake. I decided to experiment with the fondant swag, and really like how it turned out.

The top layer was lemon with buttercream frosting. The bottom layer was a chocolate fudge cake with buttercream frosting.

Hope you had a great night, girls!

Tyler & Taylor's Wedding Cake

Tyler and Taylor chose a very elegant design for their wedding cake. It was perfect to match their gorgeous and elegant outdoor reception!

The top three layers of this cake were chocolate fudge, with a creamy chocolate filling. It was covered in an orange-flavored buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant. The black swirls are completely edible and hand-painted on the fondant. We saved the top layer for the bride and groom and served the other two chocolate layers at the wedding. The bottom layer is actually styrofoam, to make the cake look larger while saving money and not having excess cake. :)

Thanks for letting me be part of your special day, Tyler & Taylor!

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!

Mini Wedding Cakes

A lady recently contacted me with the idea of making miniature wedding cakes for each of the girls in her church youth group. They were having an activity about marriage, and thought the cakes would be a fun addition. I had such a great time making these tiny (4-inch) cakes and decorating them! Each cake was vanilla in flavor. I iced them with vanilla butter cream frosting and added white fondant daisies on the top. I think they turned out really cute, and I hope the girls loved them!

I tried to make them similar while also having each cake be unique and a little different from the others. Here are some close-ups of a few individual ones:

Larissa's Wedding Cake

I made this wedding cake for a very classy bride. She was so fun and easy to work with, and had such great taste. She chose a 3-tier buttercream cake. She wanted a striped texture in the frosting, which I thought was a nice effect.

The bottom layer is a vanilla cake with a chocolate ganuche filling. The top two layers are chocolate fudge cake with the chocolate ganauche filling. I served the cake at the wedding, and heard lots of compliments. Congrats, Larissa, and thanks for letting me part of your special day!

Square Wedding Cake

I really love the look of the square layer wedding cakes!  This cake looked very elegant in the beautiful old-fashioned reception hall.  The top layer is carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.  The middle layer is chocolate cake with vanilla frosting.  And the bottom layer is almond butter cake with almond frosting.  The entire cake was covered in marshmallow fondant and decorated with a dark chocolate frosting.

Brittany's Wedding Cake

This is my favorite fondant cake that I have made; it was a very elegant, beautiful cake to match a beautiful wedding!  

It was a white cake with white fondant with a vanilla frosting filling.

It was also served at the wedding reception.  I make my own fondant, so it really tastes delicious coupled with the creamy frosting underneath.

Red and White Wedding Cake

This elegant cake was made to fit a very elegant wedding.  

It was a vanilla cake with creamy butter frosting and a strawberry filling.

I also made the K on the top.

This was served at the wedding luncheon and everyone said it was delicious!
