Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

In honor of the celebration, I did an order of cupcakes for a work party!

I made a vanilla cake (which I made green in color) filled the cupcakes with a lemon mousse filling (for the pot of gold in the middle) and topped it off with a vanilla buttercream tinted yellow with gold and green sprinkles! I love how the turned out!!

I also made some white chocolate covered pretzel shamrocks with green sprinkles! Aren't they cute? I was going to put these on top of the cupcakes...but the cupcakes turned out so nice and elegant, the shamrocks would have taken away from them! But I still ike them! :)

Have a good day!!

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!

Birthday Chica!

My little niece, Emilyn turned 1 this past weekend!

One of her most favorite characters to watch on tv is Chica on Sprouts! So that is what we decided to make for her 1st Birthday!

So here she is, Chica the chicken, along with a little cake just for Emy!This was my first time carving a cake. Although it was not a lot of carving, it was still nerve racking trying to get it just perfect! All in all, I think it turned out pretty good!And Emy's little cake was decorated with a whipped strawberry creme. She LOVED it!!!Happy Birthday Sweetie! Your aunt LOVES you!!!

To Infinity And Beyond!!

My little nephew Maguire is now 2!! I cannot believe it! They grow SO FAST!

This year, Big Mac is super into Toy Story and anything BUZZ!

So I made him a Buzz Lightyear cake! I love how it turned out with the "galaxy" and the little martians! He loved it (especially the toy I placed on top!)

My sister in law wanted me to make a pumpkin cake. So I made up a recipe on the fly and it turned out SO YUMMY! I made a pumpkin mousse using this stuff

(this is limited...go buy yourself some, it is divine!!)I plopped a thick filling of the mousse and drizzled a semi-sweet chocolate over top of the mousse for the filling! It was super delicious (I LOVE when cakes are made for family and I get a chance to sample the cake...ya know...for research, to make sure the end product was good!) My other sister in law even told me it was the best cake she has ever eaten! Yeah!

I am so glad it turned out good in taste and look! Happy Birthday Big Mac!!!

Topsy Turvy Birthday

I made my first attempted topsy turvy cake! I am pretty excited with how it turned out!

This was my vision/drawing...

And this was the actual cake! I wanted it to be turquoise and hot pink and think that the colors came out really good! This was for a little girl's 10th birthday! I hope she loves it!!

Happy Birthday Karsyn!

Cupcakes for a Work Party

My mom asked me to make some cupcakes for her work party. Since it is Halloween time, I decided to make some worms in dirt cupcakes and some candy corn cupcakes!

The "dirt" cupcakes were a chocolate cupcake with a whipped marshmellow cream filling, chocolate frosting, covered in crushed up chocolate graham crackers, with a gummy worm on top!The candy corn cupcakes were made of yellow cake - the bottom half yellow, the top half orange with a vanilla whipped frosting and topped with a little candy corn! Hope they enjoy them!
