Better late than never!

I haven't updated in a while because it has busy around here! I seem to be filling up the weekends with orders which is AWESOME! 

My nephew turned ONE!  Here is the cake I did for him.  It was a chocolate fudge cake with Chocolate Meringue.  It was DELISH!

the cupcake was carved into the dome shape and them covered in frosting.  The candle and bow are made from gum paste.   He was so cute eating his smash cake.  He's terribly shy and after everyone sang to him... he laid is head down right into the cake!

A birthday and a twin baby shower!

The first picture is Vanilla/vanilla with cutsie hot pink fondant daisies.
The second picture is Lemon/lemon with a raspberry jam center. The cupcakes say "Welcome Jenn & John's little tigers".
With every cake or cupcake order I fill, i learn something new.  Sometimes it's a huge lesson, like never leave a cake cooling unattended because someone WILL eat it thinking it's "extra".  Other lessons are small. With these orders I learned that some things are just uncontrollable. These were delivered in a torrential down pour, and while on my way to the second delivery, another car was impatient with my slow- i got a bunch of friggen cakes in my car- driving and decided to go around me, cutting me off and forcing me to slam the brakes. The cupcakes survived with minor smudges but it was heartbreaking to me. The client was very gracious but I couldn't help but feel slightly defeated.

Topsy turvy

I had so much fun making this cake!  The cake is a combination of marble and chocolate cake with a chocolate fudge and Italian meringue butter cream.  Makes my mouth water just writing about it.   I thought this cake was so cute, I had my photo taken with it right before delivery. :)

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.
