Rainbows & Butterflies Baptism Cake

This cake was made for a beautiful little girl on her baptism day. I felt so lucky to be a small part of her special day!

I'm disappointed with the poor lighting/shadows in my photos. Just know the cake turned out even cuter and brighter than the pictures give credit for. :)

The top layer was milk chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling and raspberry buttercream frosting, covered in marshmallow fondant.

The bottom layer was a triple berry cake with buttercream raspberry filling and frosting, covered in marshmallow fondant.

Pirate Cake

This may be one of my very favorite cakes I've done in a long time! I just love this pirate theme! One sweet mom ordered this cake for the three boys in her life:

Buccaneer Russell...

Pirate Andrew...

and Captain Taylor!

So fun!

The cake was chocolate fudge with raspberry buttercream frosting, covered with marshmallow fondant.

Arrrrrr, mateys! Hope thar be lots o' fun and loot at your birthday celebration!

Drama Cake

I was asked to make this cake for a Drama Club Award Ceremony. I was given the logo from a T-shirt to mimic, which included the PHS and rabbit picture. (Apparently Harvey is a rabbit from a play, and the awards are called the Harvey Awards!)

My favorite part? These fondant drama masks that my talented husband sculpted for me. :) We placed them on very front of the cake.

The cake was a butter pecan flavor with a almond buttercream frosting. I hope the students loved it!

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!

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!

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!

Easter Egg Cookies

I really love making sugar cookies. So I'm always excited to get a cookie order! This past week got an order to make some Easter egg sugar cookies. I had a lot of fun making the colorful patterns on each cookie.

Didn't they turn out pretty?

And, seriously, I love this recipe. These cookies are really, really yummy.

Sugar cookies are $12/dozen. Order some for your special occasion! They can even be personalized with names or messages.

Adoption Cake

Our family is very passionate about adoption. In fact, we are working on adopting a baby ourselves! (Take a minute to click on our adoption button on the right!!)

So, when I was asked to make a cake for the FSA (Families Supporting Adoption) Area Conference, I was really excited to do it. The theme for the conference was Hearts Knit Together. I used the theme and this flier to design the cake:

Pictures of the cake:

An up-close pic of the 'knitted' details.

The top layer of this cake was raspberry flavored, with a raspberry buttercream filling and icing. The middle layer was a white cake filled with the raspberry buttercream and frosted with a vanilla buttercream. The bottom layer was a chocolate fudge cake with a chocolate ganuache filling and a vanilla buttercream icing. All the levels were covered with my homemade marshmallow fondant, and all the decorations were also made from fondant.

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!

Pink Princess Cake

For my daughter's birthday cake she wanted a pink princess cake. I love how she turned out! Everything from the waist down is edible, as are all her clothes. The cake was chocolate with chocolate frosting decorated in marshmallow fondant.

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!

Architecture Student Cake

This cake was made for my husband, who is a grad student studying architecture. This was for a review presentation he had where he needed to provide some food. For the books, I imitated real books he was using this semester.

This was a really fun cake to make! The bottom cake was a yellow butter cake covered in vanilla buttercream frosting. The top cake was a chocolate cake covered in creamy chocolate frosting. Everything was covered with marshmallow fondant and the details were made out of fondant. Everything on this cake is 100% edible.

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!

Mummy Cake

I made this little mummy cake for my daughter's Halloween party.

The kids LOVED it!

The cake is a chocolate fudge cake with a orange buttercream icing. The mummy wrappings and eyes were done with marshmallow fondant. I snuck a bite, and it was very yummy!

Happy Halloween!
