Vintage Wedding Cake







 
This wedding cake is one of my favorites...I love the blush pink and ivory colors the bride asked me to make the flowers. She gave me the little birds (they were actually little cheese spreaders) to put on cake. How cute! The cake was white almond with buttercream icing and gumpaste flowers.

Captain America Cake

I have had so much much fun making super hero cakes!  This one was actually gluten-free and I thought it tasted pretty yummy. It was chocolate, filled with buttercream icing and covered in all fondant. I think I liked it so much because it had more of a dark chocolate taste to it.




Green and Yellow Monogram cookies

Here is another order of cookies I had last weekend. They were Lemon Sugar cookies and were for two sisters who are getting married within two weeks of each other!!





More Mickey!!

Last weekend was the weekend for parties! Here is the second Mickey Mouse cake I made. I have actually make 2 other cakes just like this , but on a much bigger scale. This one only needed to feed about 25 people so I shrunk it and it turned out pretty cute. Here is the bigger version


 
And....here is what my kitchen island looked like with all of my Mickey Mouse orders!

Mickey Mouse First Birthday Cake and Smash Cake


So, this past weekend, I had three birthday cakes, a smash cake, and an order of 36 monogram cookies!! I don't know how I got it all completed on time, but somehow it all worked out. I have been so blessed by all of the recent orders and have had a ton of fun making them (despite being a little stressed at times!) Here is the first Mickey Mouse cake I made. I actually had two seperate orders for Mickey Mouse cakes. They were both for first birthdays and this one I did a matching smash cake for the little birthday boy. It was covered in just buttercream with fondant details. I love how it turned out!! I also met the birthday boy's mom in Burlington and it made the trip there safely. I am so proud of how smooth the buttercream turned out.

Baby Shower Cake and Cupcakes





 
One of the cake orders I had this weekend was for my sweet friend Tracy who helped to throw a baby shower for her best friend. Tracy and I used to work together and I miss all of our fun times in carpool and our many lunch dates!
The cake and cupcakes were all lemon and covered with buttercream and fondant decortions. Tracym sent me a pic of the super cute invitation and I came up with this design to go along with the theme. I love how the little clothesline turned out! I used scrapbook paper to make the cupcake sleeves and also to cover straws that were used to hold up the clothesline.

Farewell Cake


This cake was so much fun to make! It was made for a going away party....for a blond haired, blue eyed frisbee lovin' girl who is moving to Colorado. I have never met Stacey, but she has some great friends! When I dropped off the cake they were making so many fun decorations for the party. I hope they had a great time.


I love making cakes like this cause they are always one of a kind.....and I get to be pretty creative. Emily, Stacey's friend who ordered the cake, asked me to paint the state flags on each corresponding state and connect them with a frisbee. I painted the flags with food coloring and the girl was made out of fondant. One half of the cake was butter golden with raspberry filling and the other was triple chocolate....yummmmyyy.




I was playing around with Picassa and thought I would also share my artistic shot of her feet ;)

Elephant Smash Cake and Cupcakes

A few weeks ago I made some elephant cupcakes for a baby shower and I have gotten so many compliments on them! I was super excited to get another order for them, but this time it was for a first birthday party and I made a smash cake to match the cupcakes. I changed up the design on the elephants with the oh so popular chevron print :) I love how they turned out! The cake and cupcakes were all chocolate with buttercream icing and fondant decorations. In my opinion, chocolate is the best for smash cakes cause your little one gets extra messy!









Groom and Bride Cake Topper

I have been wanting to blog about these guys for a while now! When I wrote the post last week about cake toppers, I already had these completed but they were being shipped to their owner. I didn't want to write about them before she got to see 'em.

The bride found my blog and asked me to make this cake topper to suprise her soon-to-be husband on their wedding day. She sent me these pics of her dress and his tux....



awwww beauuuuutifulllllll



Very classy :)

When she sent me the pic of her dress I wanted to go back 4 years ago and do my wedding all over (but this time wearing THAT dress haha). I really did love my dress, don't get me wrong, but that one is aboslutely gorgeous too.

On to the toppers....my fave so far!


 
I heard from the bride that they made it to their destination safe. Hope they enjoy their wedding day!
