Sunny Days. . .





This Sesame street themed cake is for a little girls' 1st birthday. My  favorite kind of  cake to make because the baby get a smash cake!  The one year of your life when you get an entire cake to yourself judgment free!  The flavors are Marble fudge cake, with an Italian meringue raspberry butter cream.  Say that fives times fast! I'm actually sad I wont have a slice of this one.  And there was NOT any leftovers this time! Each of the Cookie and Elmo faces were cut out of fondant with an exacto knife, it was stressful to say the least, but i am happy with the end result.

Happy Valentines Day


Smooch your loved ones today!

Probably the cutest cupcakes EVER!

2  dozen of these bad boys went to a Valentines baby who turns 5 tomorrow.  I filled them with vanilla cream in the center (like a hostess cake).   I filled a few testers and the hubby and kids loved em! So hopefully the client will too.

Who doesn't love a ladybug? I love them!  It's the only bug I will let touch me without screaming.      The  ladys head is a yellow cake with pink vanilla cream and her body is chocolate with vanilla cream.  I surprised the birthday girl with this little cake.  Her mom had mentioned how much her daughter loved it, but didn't order it because she needed cupcakes for school.

Nolan is 2, orange and blue!


Chocolate and Yellow cupcakes with buttercream icing.  I'm pretty insecure  about my cupcakes, I guess because there is nothing really fancy about it.  It's so simple.   The circles and 2s are gumpaste.  Everyone in my house thinks they look great, and they were all a little pissed I didn't have "leftovers".  You would think with the amount of cake coming through the house, they would get sick of it. I already have.

Nemo cake

Happy Birthday Little Dude!

This cake is for my nephew, who is turning 2.  I was excited to do this cake as soon as it was ordered.   (surprisingly not always the case)  I loved making the coral out of gum paste.  It was a good excuse to sit down and play.  The cake will be delivered in New Bern (over 2 hours away from here) so I am a little nervous about the drive. A delicate cake, 3 kids, and a crazy husband of a driver. I already know i will be cursing the entire way.  Fingers crossed.  

Blogging at Tiffany's?

I've always loved reading blogs.  I've always wanted to blog but am I the blogging type? Probably not, but here we go.   I'm trying to turn my hobby of cake decorating into something more.  This blog will be my journey. . .
