Walking in a Pink Wonderland

2012-01-10T16:18:00.000-08:00

This cake was created for a little girl that was having a VERY special day, not only was she turning 2 (which is a pretty big thing) but her family was also celebrating her adoption.
The two tier cake with a tutu layered cupcake was made with a pink winter wonderland theme to match the party decorations.

The Little Monkey Turns One

2012-01-10T16:11:00.000-08:00

When my nephew turned one my sister wanted me to make a cake for him that was very simple with a monkey theme. I used his birthday invitation for the inspiration, I always love coordinating things.

Cake Flavor: Moist Banana (of course!) with Cream Cheese Frosting

This is actually one of my favorite cakes that I've ever made. I love how simply sophisticated it is. I love the choice of brown and green against the white fonant. But my favorite part about this cake actually happened by accident. When the bride brought me the ribbon to go around the bottom of the tiers they didn't have quite enough and they didn't think that they could get any more. So, to improvise I used a ribbon color that was similar to the brown, unfortunately all I could find was a thin 5/8" width. I covered the back 4-5" gap on the back with layers of the thin ribbon, I then tied bows that cascaded down the back of the cake. I loved the result! But me being me, I forgot to get a picture of the bows. So you'll just have to picture it in your head.

This fun western style wedding cake was created (in August) for a girl who grew up on a ranch. I loved her choice of the two different colors of brown, I admit that I've never tried a tone on tone cake before but I loved it. The hand crafted belt that wraps around the bottom tier was extremely fun to make. It reminded me of sitting at scout camp with my mom and brother playing with the leather tooling sets. I am so lucky my mom decided to take the girls along too instead of dropping us off at a baby sitter. Oh, the memories!

Cake Flavor: Marbled Fudge with Fluffy Chocolate Frosting

Contrast is what this fun craft inspired cake is all about. The black contrasts the white, quilted lines counter swirled whimsys, the light pink and the bold red help each other stand out, and the elegant black satin bow creates a perfect companion to the charming rick rack border.

Cake Flavor: Raspberry Lemonade with Lemon Buttercream Frosting, and Darn Good Chocolate Cake with Fluffy Chocolate Frosting (I can not even describe how heavenly this one smelled cooking in the oven. YUM!!!)

It's "Pinkalicious"!

With just a hint of what lies beneath the theatrically draped ivory colored fondant, we find a backdrop of vibrant red that perfectly sets off silver hand painted horseshoes. A woodgrain, farm style fence runs round the bottom tier ensuring the capture of the heart of our cowgirl bride.

Cake Flavor: Admittedly, I waited to long to post this and have forgotten the flavor of the cake and frosting... :/

Soooo..... What do you do when you have exactly 20 minutes in between birthday party games to assemble and decorate a cake for the party that started 35 minutes ago?

You let your husband help. :)

I don't think it's too shabby, considering all the forces of nature that were working against me that day.

Thanks honey, I couldn't have done this one with out you. (Literally) Don't his shingles and fence posts look fantastic?

This cake was made for my sister's wedding this summer. This was the second cake that I was able to make for her. She had two receptions that were held a week apart. When she came down to look at ideas for cakes she found two that she absolutely loved, lucky for her she didn't have to choose between the two.

When my sister got married this summer I had the chance to make her wedding cake, I was so very excited. I then had the opportunity to transport her cake (assembled) 150 miles away from where it was made and put together. To make a long painful story short, it didn't travel well. Thank goodness most of the cake was able to be repaired. (sort of) Sorry Rae. :)

When I was asked to make this cake for one of my daughters good friends I was told that she was going to have a Princess themed birthday party. After a few days we received an adorable invitation in the shape of a castle with all the needed info. As the party drew closer the b-day girl's mom called and told me that she wanted to change her theme to include Tinker Bell along with the Princess theme. I have to admit that I was a bit stumped as to how to mesh the themes together.
I had to rethink the whole project, so I started with what I knew of Tinker Bell from the book "Peter Pan" by J.M. Barrie. Tinker Bell had a totally different personality then vs. now. But one thing that she did love was shiny sparkly things. And so the idea of a Jewelry box filled with necklaces and bracelets was born.

Cake Flavor: Moist Yellow Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Cake Pop Scepters: Moist Yellow Cake dipped in white chocolate
All jewelry is edible and most is handmade.

Unicorns and Glitter

2010-05-25T08:41:00.000-07:00

For a fun sparkly birthday party for my 6 year old. The creamy strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting was a sweet ending to an Enchanted Unicorn party.

This cake admittedly is not one of my best. It had an accident and had to be seriously repaired before pictures were even taken and then it slid off it's plate (1st time I've ever had this happen) before it made it to the party. I haven't posted it because the memories of the flop are to painful...

Sparkler Cake

2009-07-25T21:29:00.000-07:00

What says patriotic more than fireworks? This pyrotechnic holiday was always my Grandpa's favorite because it also doubled as his birthday. When he was young he was convinced that the fireworks bursting in the nighttime sky was in his honor. Through the years a tradition was born, every year on his birthday cake instead of candles we placed sparklers and sang "Happy Birthday" to Grandpa as the sparklers spit their light and ashes over the soft frosting. This year Grandpa's Snickerdoodle cake was dressed up with red and white stars and a shower of edible sparkles shooting up from the center of the cake. Happy Birthday Grandpa!
Cake flavor: Snickerdoodle with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting

A Timeless Classic-

A soft Ivory backdrop of smooth buttercream icing sets off hand crafted peach roses that rest at the peak of each floral garland, highlighting the garlands are delicate swags of coral colored stringwork. Elegant columns hold multiple tiers of luscious White Velvet Cake high above the table top, while below pale peach liquid flows gently down the cascading tiers of a fountain placed amid a wreath of peach, ivory and white roses. Filigree staircases lead down from the middle tier down to a smaller but just as showy display of roses and ruffles. From there a second set of lace like stairways end in a finale of mirrored garlands, ruffles, and roses.

Cake Flavor: White Velvet Cake

Frosting Flavor: Buttercream

When I was finished with all the cakes I had a few that I had messed up on, so I let each of my girls decorate one like a purse. When I told my little Emma that she could have one of the purses she giggled and said "Oh mommy I'm so excited to make a purse." Giggle, Giggle. "An' it's purple, Oh!" She exclaimed excitedly, "it will match my shoes!" She's 3, I think I'm in trouble for when she's a teenager!
