Topped with a chocolate buttercream and gold sugar sprinkles.The last was a vanilla cake filled with a raspberry cream filling.It was a success and I booked a wedding cake / cupcakes tier for July! I can't wait to do it!

Grandma's Birthday

Look Whoo's Turning 1!!

My little niece Alexis turned 1 this past weekend! My sister did her birthday decorations in the theme "Look whoo's turning 1". I made her cakes around that theme!

On the left is the main cake - all chocolate with a chocolate cream filling and the left is the smash cake for Alexis! The invitation is in the back.The smash cake with the invite! I made the eyes, beak and bow out of chocolate - easy to eat and melts in the mouth for no choking!Here is the owl topper I made out of fondant for the cake!I brush painted the bottom tier with pink food coloring to make it a soft pink and used cute little edible pearls for the middles of the flowers!Happy Birthday Alexis! Your aunt Stephanie loves you!!And...did she love it????Heck yeah she did! :)

Kitty Cake

I made a cake this past weekend for a little girl who was turning 7! Her best friend is her cat Joey and her mom wanted the cat as part of the cake - along with pink!

This is what I came up with!I made the bottom tier a chocolate cake with OREO cream filling and the top tier was a vanilla cake with rasberry cream filling.

All decorations were made out of fondant.

The paw prints were made with food coloring and a stamp that I bought just for this cake! It was my first time using a stamp on a cake and I think it turned out cute! When the little girl Andee walked in to pick up the cake, she looked at the cake, a big smile crossed her face and she said "It's Joey!" It made my day! She was thrilled with the cake!

Happy Birthday Andee!

Little rosebud cuppies

Last week was my co-worker, Emily's birthday. We had a little birthday celebration for her with a gift, decorations and of course cupcakes. She is a HUGE fan of pink, so I made french vanilla cupcakes tinted pink, white buttercream with pink sprinkles and of course pink fondant rosebuds.

My Nephew's First Birthday!

I got the chance to do my nephew's first birthday cake this weekend! I was glad it turned out pretty much what it looked like in my head and not a jumble of a homemade cake! His theme was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! What a fun cake to make! Everyone loved it! It was a german chocolate / french vanilla cake mix with a new whipped cream icing that I found on the internet that was more set up than regular whipped frosting. It was yummy, not as sweet as buttercream, but it was not as stiff as I would have liked. However, I covered the cakes in fondant, the bottom layer was a homemade marshmallow fondant and the top was a store bought fondant just because it is so hard to get a real red color so I bought the premade red color! The filling was a whipped marshmallow cookie filling...of my own design obviously since I cannot think of a better name for it!

Halloween Cupcakes

So I wanted to try my hand at making different items out of fondant and thought that my daughter's dance Halloween party was the perfect excuse! The pumpkins took the longest due to the little stem, vines and leaves on them. I also had bought some 4x4x4 whote glossy boxes on the internet and they were perfect for holding the cuppies! I decorated them with a little message from my daughter. I think they turned out adorable...what do you think??

Wilton Course 3 Final...I PASSED! :)

OK, not hard to pass the class...all you really gotta do is pay your money and show up! :) But I think I really pulled it off for this one! Tiered on little pedastals, fondant covered, fondant roses - in 3 different colors - very pretty and very yummy! The top tier is a spice cake and the bottom tier is a yellow cake with raspberry buttercream filling!
