Mini Wedding cake sample

This bride and groom wanted an idea of what their cake would look like so they paid me to make a mini cake to replicate what we will be doing on their large cake.  They wanted color but were afraid it would be too much as most cakes are just white so this gave them the opportunity to see on a smaller more affordable scale.  In the end they opted for a simpler all white design, but they enjoyed the fun of the purple on their mini cake.

Happy Birthday

Every mom should get a birthday cake.  I love it when a dad hires me to make sure his wife isn't forgotten on her birthday.

Hello Kitty Birthday Party

 It is always fun to learn a new technique.  I have never tried a frozen buttercream transfer so I thought I would try it out.  It was a fun new way to put a character on the cake.  It wasn't perfect...I shouldn't have outlined the nose, and I would likely do a smaller tip on future ones so it can be more detailed but overall it turned out pretty well.  To tie the whole theme together we added cute hello kitty cupcakes with pre-made picks to match the liners and cute little hello kitty sprinkles to add to it.

 

Wedding Tasting cupcakes

 It's always fun to make cupcakes for a wedding tasting.  These were to have the happy couple try some of the great oreo cupcakes.  It was a hit!  Bride is having a hard time being convinced to offer any other flavor besides oreo.  That's always a good sign. 

Flower fun cupcakes

 It is always fun to make a garden full of flower cupcakes.  Love the beauty this brings to a table.

Princess Cupcakes

Oreo cupcake with Jasmine rings that little girls love, but a modern flare with the chevron liners.

What can you do in a hour?

 Well not make the most beautiful cake ever.  Cakes take much longer than an hour, and to manage two in that time was a miracle in and of itself.  Then you add that they were cakes that I was asked last minute to "fix".  So I called a great friend and her and I made frosting, put the crumbling cakes back together with a lot of frosting, frosted and added a little girly to the cakes.  They weren't a great masterpiece, they have many things wrong with them.  But considering the time constraint I was happy with them.  Now think what they could have looked like had I just made them from scratch.  It's much easier to bake with a days notice than to fix in an hour.  Just sayin'

Simple beauty for a beautiful baby girl

 To celebrate a new baby I was asked to make a cake to match the baby's blessing dress.  It was a simple white dress with just a few tiny pink flowers here or there.

Flash Back Friday

 Hat and sheet cake for a cute girl's birthday.

Need a flower

 I was in need of about 10 tiny pink flowers.  I had to make an entire batch of royal frosting to accommodate so I figured I might as well have some fun and make a bunch more flowers.  I'm sure they will come in handy.  It's nice to know I have some on hand.
