Princess Arianna







Friends of ours from Germany moved her last year. While we were trick or treating at the mall we saw them and they asked if I would be able to do a Disney Princess cake for Arianna's 3rd birthday. The top two layers was lemon with buttercream filling and the bottom was vanilla cake with strawberry crack filling.

Halloween Cupcakes





For Cameron's school Halloween party I wanted to do some sort of cool cupcakes. So I found this idea for a not so scary vampire. I think they turned out very cute. The insides were purple and green. The kids loved them.

Oliva Cake





Another cake through referrals. Things seem to be picking up a little bit. Olivia's mom called and was looking for a rainbow cake. After a little bit of research I came up with the idea to make the rainbow out of little hearts. Everyone loved it. Olivia came with her dad to pick it up and wanted to eat it right there! This cake was rainbow tye dyed with Strawberry Crack filling.

Colton Cake






This cake was straight from my cards left at Gymboree (thanks Gymboree!). Colton's mom called me and we decided to make a rock star cake. I wanted to try something different so I made a microphone out of a ice cream cone and rice crispy treats. I believe the cake was tye dyed in the middle with buttercream filling.

Haley Cake



MacKenzie was invited to a birthday party for one of her very best friends Haley. I asked Haley's mom if I could provide the cake as part of her gift. Haley was so excited so I made exactly what she wanted. I was yellow cake with Strawberry Crack filling.

2nd Annual Great Cousin Cake Swap




For the second year during our many trips up to New Jersey we headed to South Jersey to see my Aunt Kate. My cousin Maryanne (Aunt Kate's oldest) comes and we swap cakes. This year I made cupcakes. And not just plain icing on the top cupcakes, I made stuffed cupcakes. Of course I made Maryanne's favorite Raspberry Lemonade cake cupcakes and I also made Chocolate cupcakes with Strawberry Crack filling and Yellow cake with Chocolate Ganache filling. Maryanne made a oh so yummy Keylime cake. It was soooo good! I took as much home with me as I could and ate a piece of it every day till it was done. And I wonder where those 10 extra pounds came from this summer!!!

Down on the Farm


So this cake is full of firsts. This was my very first got my card off the bulletin board outside order. This was also the first time I made little figures for the cake. And this was my first time using a new recipe for buttercream. This cake was tye dyed inside (blue, red, green, and yellow) and was filled with vanilla bean buttercream icing. Even the barn was made of cake.
