Laurie Cake

My friend Laurie recently celebrated her 29th birthday. So we decided that the best way to celebrate was with three of her favorite things Chick-fil-A, margaritas, and cake. Chick-fil-A was easy. Most of the girls meet there after school on Wednesdays with the kids so party place done. Margaritas was a little bit trickier. Can't just break out the blender and tequila in the middle of a conservative christian based restaurant so we went with the gift of a margarita making basket filled with all of the goodies that she could need to enjoy a few with her hubby later that night. And cake well that was easy too. Top layer white, bottom layer chocolate and filled and iced with my vanilla bean buttercream. The design?? What else but Chick-fil-A.

Baby Shower

I was invited to a baby shower for one of ladies in Rob's unit. I offered to make the cake for the shower. We wanted to make sure that everyone was happy so one layer was tye dyed with buttercream and the top layer was yellow with ganache. It was a big hit. We ended up putting a little sliver tiara on the top to tie it into the party.

Kiara Cake

One of Kenzie's friends recently turned 12. He dad sent me text to see if I could make the cake for her party. The only requirement was that the top be shaped like a softball. The rest was up to me. Kiara was easy to design for. She is a girly girl who loves everything bright and girly. So I chose to do a colorful zebra print in the middle and some of her favorite things on the bottom. The top cake was tye dyed in her team colors. The middle was red velvet with buttercream and the bottom was yellow cake with mocha buttercream. Everyone loved it.

Marion Cake

My friend Edric sent me a "secret" facebook message. His wife was turning 30 and he wanted to surprise her with a cake. Her favorite colors are white and gold.

Laila Cake

I had the pleasure of making a cake for Laila's 2nd birthday. Laila's mom got my card from Gymboree. I love Gymboree. Anyway. Her mom contacted me to see if I could make her an Abby Cadabby cake. The bottom square was tye dye with strawberry crack filling. The round layer was also tye dye with whipped chocolate ganache filling. When she walked into the kitchen to pick it up she just gasped and said how much she loved the cake. Just a little while ago Laila's mom sent me a text and told me that everyone loved the cake. She also told me that she would be calling me in April when her baby turns 1 to make her cake.

Bella cake

My friend Kelly called me and asked me to make a cake for her daughter Isabella's 4th birthday. After changing the theme from Strawberry Shortcake to Little Mermaid we decided on a two tiered tye dyed cake with butter cream filling. At first I was very unsure of what to do as a design. Then after many nights googling and searching swagbucks I found my idea. I even made the seashells from white chocolate and brushed them with edible luster dust to give them dimension and sparkle. To say that Kelly was happy with the end result was an understatement. Even Bella was excited. As soon as I took it out of the box she asked if she could eat it.

Christmas Cupcakes

Yesterday we had our kids Christmas party for Rob's work. I of course made cupcakes. Just plain old red and green cupcakes with Christmas trees on top.
