Birthday Cake Cupcakes

This little cupcake is your childhood in a tasty morsel. The classic vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream is the tiny version of the cake your mother made for you on your birthday! Tinted pink with a touch of sprinkles and stars keep the playful feel of your younger days and allows you to get lost in the nostalgic moments of your youth.

Under Arrest Engagement Cake

 This engagement cake was quite a funny one to do. The colors were black, white, and BRIGHT green. They wanted something different and that didn't look exactly like an engagement cake. So I went with the marbled fondant and finished it with the lime green details. To top the cake off, I made the bride as a nurse and the groom as a police officer, each being their respective jobs. But of course I had to have the bride sitting on her fiance! We have to make sure we keep me in their place! The cake was a classic chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream.

DJ's Dragon Cake

One of my very good friends, Dave, son was turning five! He asked me if I could do a dragon cake for his son's How to Train Your Dragon themed party! I was so excited to get a chance to carve a cake. This was my first time really getting into carving which was both exciting and daunting. With my best friend, Laura, by my side, I hacked away a yummy marble cake to shape and create this fierce dragon. To add detail, I took a large straw and cut it on a bias. I used it to mark scales all over the dragons body. The added fondant spikes, fondand eyes, and fondant teeth. To finish the cake, we added a character made to look like Dj, riding the dragon. This was such a fun cake to do and the children loved it!

Welcome Home Brother, Army Cake

 This was a cake made for a friend who's brother was returning home from the Army. She customized the cake just for him by adding a tank, which is what he drives in the Army, and his dog tags, detailed with his name on one and Army Strong on the second. Camouflage fondant adorned the cake with simple gold frosting details. The Army star added another person touch. Go ARMY! And Welcome Home!

My Daughter's 4th Birthday Cake

 My daughter turned four this past September. And of course, being four years old AND a girl meant we were having a princess birthday party! But it was also October (hey, you have a party when you can :) ) so I decided to add a little Halloween flare to the decor and favors! Her colors were hot pink, orange, and black. I kept her cake pretty simple, decorating with stripes and circles. The black border brought the goulish feel to it! Finishing it off with a few handmade fondant roses, black sparkly spiders, and her favorite crown to top it off. The top tier was a moist chocolate cakes filled with caramel chocolate buttercream. The bottow tier was a delicate white cake filled with a thin layer of raspberry and red currant jam and the same caramel chocolate buttercream. It was fantastic! Everyone was just raving over the cake and to my surprise, so was I! Did I mention I made this cake two hours before her birthday party that morning?

Andes Mint Cupcakes

  My favorite flavor combination's generally consist of two things, chocolate and ANYTHING ELSE! But in my top ten would be mint. I love chocolate and mint. The two flavors together take me back to Christmas and my grandmothers chocolate mint fudge, playfully resembling and Andes Mint with two layers of chocolate fudge encasing a minty fudge filling. These chocolate cupcakes are filled with chocolate ganache and a single Andes Mint. To top off the cupcakes, I added a swirl of green mint buttercream and finished with crushed Andes! This cupcake is such a treat and sweetly refreshing.

Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

 Today's adventure was Chocolate Chip cupcakes! These cupcakes give you a whole new way of experiencing a chocolate chip. Super moist vanilla cake filled with mini chocolate chips makes this cupcakes unbelievably delicious! The icing is a swirl of chocolate chip ganache and vanilla buttercream. Summer, my daughter, finished these cupcakes with a sprinkle of chocolate chips and edible silver balls. Mommy added some sparkle with luster dust and this cupcake was perfect!
