I love doing cakes for this family because the mom always comes up with such cute ideas like this and this. They are some of my favorite cakes and this one was no exception.
The flavors were chocolate cake with peanut butter filling and yellow cake with cream cheese filling. The cake was covered and decorated with marshmallow fondant.
This cake was special indeed. Family throwing a party for their 80 year old mother and grandmother in my mind is a very dear event.
This cake was also something different for me. It was my first time doing hydrangeas. I was a little nervous but in the end they turned out okay.
The cake was a two tier square cake. The bottom tier was white almond cake with raspberry filling and the top tier was chocolate cake with cream cheese filling. The icing was buttercream and the hydrangeas and bow were gum paste. Gum paste was also new to me but was so much better to use in this cake than fondant.
We had a bridal shower for a special lady at church a couple of weeks ago. I had read about and seen so many pictures of beautiful cupcake stands and I saw the shower as a perfect opportunity to try one out.
First I had to make the stand. If you google cupcake stands you can find lots of instructions, but here's a site to get started. I did it basically like this, but in between each tier, I used a glass container full of decorative glass balls to match. Here is the finished cupcake stand.
Now for the cupcakes. As you can see I went with the colors pink, blue and chocolate brown. I made some yellow cupcakes and some chocolate cupcakes with delicious chocolate chips inside. The icing was an assortment of chocolate buttercream and white buttercream (colored pink of course). To finish them off I made little flowers out of fondant.
These were so much fun and I loved how it turned out!
Now I'm off to work on this beautiful lady's wedding cake (gasp)! Wish me luck and look for pictures next week. Have a great weekend!
I really loved this cake. I love that it's girly and I really loved the color combination. The bottom tier was chocolate cake and cream cheese filling while the top tier was chocolate chip cake with chocolate buttercream filling. The whole cake was covered with marshmallow fondant and the decorations were fondant. The body of the lady bug was cake.
This is a baby shower cake I did a couple of weeks ago. Did I mention I love baby shower cakes? Well I do. This one was yellow cake, buttercream icing and fondant decorations.
Check back next week. I have several cakes to post, one of them being a very special wedding cake. In fact my very first wedding cake. Also, I plan on adding something new to my blog so stay tuned. It should be fun. Have a great weekend!
This cake was yellow with chocolate buttercream filling and yellow with cream cheese filling. It was all decorated and covered with marshmallow fondant. I love baby shower cakes! So fun!
Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
This cake was done for a lady's 85th birthday. The cake was yellow with cream cheese filling. (Yes I do offer other cake and filling flavors. This is just the most popular.) The cake was iced with an off white buttercream. The bow on top and all of the roses were fondant. The swirl design is buttercream with tiny fondant roses placed randomly throughout. Thanks for looking!
I apologize for being away for awhile, but I have been making cakes. I just haven't slowed down long enough to post them. This past weekend we had a birthday party and also a open house for my Grandmother, Nanna. Nanna is very special to me so it was an honor for me to be able to make a cake for her.
The overall theme was "springy" so this is what I came up with. The top layer is chocolate cake with peanut butter filling. The middle layer is yellow cake with cream cheese filling and the bottom layer is butter pecan with cream cheese filling. It's all covered with fondant and all of the decorations were made from fondant.
I really like the way this cake turned out. It's a bouquet of pink roses and I'm always a fan of pink and brown together.
One tier is chocolate cake with cream cheese filling, another tier is yellow cake with cream cheese filling and the icing is chocolate butter cream. I must say that chocolate butter cream is my new favorite, but I'm generally a fan of all things chocolate.
I hope that Kim and her family enjoyed and maybe she got a better picture of the cake than me. ;-)
Yay it's Friday! Wishing you a happy Friday and a great weekend with two fun and "happy" cakes.
