Butterfly Kisses

I helped throw a baby shower for my sister-in-law Britney who is having her first baby GIRL after three boys!  It was a beautiful shower with a "Butterfly Kisses" theme.  I did a 7" chocolate cake with NUTELLA mousse filling and 100 chocolate cupcakes frosted with vanilla buttercream and topped with a fondant butterfly.  This is one of my most favorite cake designs that I stole from a friend's cake website.  I found it months ago and knew that I had to make it for SOMETHING! 

Practice Makes Perfect

One of Grady's friends had a birthday and his mom asked me to make a Lego cake.  This is my 4th Lego cake, and it seems I'm getting better at perfecting my technique. 

Classic

It's not that I haven't been making cakes, it's that I haven't had time to blog about them.  Did I mention we're moving to Utah?

I made this cake in record timing for a friend who needed a nice cake for her sister's 25th birthday.  It is a 9" chocolate cake with raspberry filling, covered in vanilla buttercream.  I added a classic black bow with a little blink, and voila! 

Tildy's Cupcakes

Nutella-filled cupcakes with vanilla bean buttercream made for my little (and I do mean little) niece's blessing day.  I don't usually get to taste the fruits of my labors, but I got to taste these and they were FAB!

Princess Britney

Princess Britney needed a cake made especially for her.  This is what I came up with!  There's a 9" tier and a 5" tier, all made with white cake and vanilla buttercream.  This was a REALLY fun cake to make... from the stone impressions to the sparkly pink lustre dust that was brushed over the whole thing.  So girly!  One good thing about our move to Utah- I won't have to battle the heat when delivering a cake.  This one practically melted and lost 4 of the 8 turrets in the car.  Luckily I had all my supplies to fix it.  Still sad though! 

Brian's Transformer Cake

I can't take much credit for this cake.  My sous chef, Brandon did all the work on the Transformer logo.  It is a 9x13 chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream filling.  See the sad spot on the lower right?  That, my friends, is what happens when water touches fondant.  It slowly eats away the sugar.  This cake got dripped on in the freezer and I wasn't aware of it until too late.  I learned the next day that my freezer wasn't freezing anymore... thus, the dripping.  Overall, a simple, fun cake for a little boy named Brian. 

Sweet 17!

This was for a girl who missed out on her Sweet 16 party because her family moved. Her nice mom was so excited to give her a great surprise party and asked me to make this adorable cake. Another favorite of mine!
