Daisy Cupcakes

Daisy These were made for a birthday party that was for three ladies. The cupcakes are chocolate Bliss and all the toppings were hand made and are edible.

Flower Garden Cupcakes

Flower garden These are Royal Raspberry cupcakes that I piped the cream cheese icing on. They tend to be more detailed when using buttercream icing but I still think they turned out pretty.

Guitar Hero Cake For Kristen

Guitar_hero This was sooo.. much fun! I loved trying to make this cake look like the real thing. My friends daughter was turning 15 and she wanted to suprise her with a cake that looked like the Guitar Hero video game that she loves to play. The cake is chocolate with chocolate buttercream and then covered in black fondant. I hand cut the Guitar Hero and flames from fondant and then painted them. everything on the cake is edible.

Mercedes CUpcakes

Mercedes_cupcakes These were some I made for a friend who was having a business meeting for their company. They can earn a Mercedes for their sales, etc. i wouldn't mind that kind of incentive. The cupcakes were Butter pecan (one of my favorites).

Hawaiian Luau Cupcakes

Luau_cupcakes These were for a Hawaiian Luau Birthday Party. I took a picture of the stand that they were displayed on. These were really fun to make.

Champagne and Pink Wedding Shower

Wedding_3 This was for a wedding shower. I wanted it to look like the back of a wedding dress. The brides mother was throwing a brunch for her daughter and wanted something in champagne and pink with a vintage style. I used edible pearl dust to give it an aged and shimmery touch. The cake was vanilla with raspberry filling and cream cheese icing. The cupcakes were vanilla with vanilla buttercream and chocolate bliss with almond icing.

Chocolate Covered Cherry CUpcakes

Chocolate_covered_cherry I have been wanting to make this flavor cupcake for a while now and I finally got a chance. I was making some for my daughters school for teacher appreciation week and I thought I would give this one a try. The cake is chocolate with cherry chunks in the center and then topped with almond icing then drizzled with chocolate ganache and finished with a cherry on top. I loved these and so did my kids. Hopefully the teachers enjoyed them too.

Alexandra's first Communion Cake

First_communion_1 This was my first three tiered cake I had ever done. The bottom is a 10" vanilla with vanilla buttercream icing, the 8" tier is chocolate with chocolate ganache, and the top is 6" vanilla with vanilla buttercream. Al lthree tiers were covered in fondant. Everything on the cake is edible (including the figures on the top). I joke that I had to "call on Jesus" to help me make him. It was not easy, but I love a challenge. This cake feeds 55-60 people.
