Twins' Birthday!


I got to do two little 6 inch birthday cakes for twins, a boy and a girl. I had so much fun doing the Spiderman and Tinkerbell themes! The cakes are my white cake with cream cheese filling and buttercream frosting. The filling on the Spiderman cake is blue, and the filling on the Tinkerbell cake is purple. The little Spiderman is made out of fondant and the wings on Tinkerbell's cake are made out of fondant and gumpaste. The Tinkerbell cake is shiny and so frilly, I love it! The Spiderman cake is tough, and looks like Spiderman sitting on top of a building. SO FUN!

Baby Shower Cake for Alexis' Sister-In-Law!

Oh my gosh I had soooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOO much fun making this cake!!!!!!!!!! My dear friend Alexis asked me to do this cake and gave me an idea from the Martha Stewart website that she liked, called a "lollipop garden." Click here to see it, it's darling! She also gave me the invitation to her sister-in-law's shower, so I could go off the colors. It was too much fun making the gumpaste daisies and the white chocolate daisy lollipops! I also made a new cake recipe for this cake. It's a deliciously moist lemon cake with lemon curd filling and a glaze-tasting buttercream frosting. This cake is a 9" cake, and I placed it on a 12" circle with a 12" square cake box for travel. I learned so much making this cake and I am grateful for creative people like Alexis that I can grow from! I am so happy I got to make this cake!!

Miakka's Wedding Cake

I had the great opportunity to make a 3-tiered large square wedding cake (14", 10", & 6") for an adorable couple this week. They asked for my regular white cake with cream cheese frosting and fresh raspberries filling and outer layer of buttercream frosting. I tinted the design champagne, which was one of her colors. The other color was obviously red. This cake fed 250 guests. I was so happy with how it turned out!
