Flowers & Lace Buttercream Cake

Yummy Vanilla Buttercream covered Butter Pecan Rum Cake. The top had some faux flowers and leaves with a lace ribbon accent on the bottom. This is an 8'' double layer cake. No scraps were left over on this one. Yum.

Happy Fourth of July

This was for a July 4th BBQ. The cake design was a twist on the American Flag and was a Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Buttercream . The cupcakes were Red Velvet with a White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting in a Ribbon Design. A small butterfly was the accent on the cupcakes. Hope everyone had a great holiday!!

Ivory & Blue Cupakes & Cake

This was a Cupcake Stand and Cake for a Bridal Shower. Flavors of the cupcakes were Vanilla with Buttercream, Mocha with Buttercream, & Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese. The cake was a Strawberry & Cream Cassata with Ivory Buttercream. The cake was served with a side of silky whipped cream. This Bridal Shower looked to be a beautiful one. I so happy to have been able to add a little something to this lovely occasion!

Baby Shower Cupcakes & Peas in the Pod Cookie Favors

This was a Cupcake Tower arrangement, Topper, & 2 Peas in the Pod Cookie Favors for a Baby Shower. The mom-to-be is a dear friend having TWIN GIRLS!!! Flavors included Banana Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream, Vanilla Almond Cupcakes with Pink Strawberry Cream Cheese, & Chocolate Cupcakes with Yellow White Chocolate Frosting. There was a topper that included sugar plaques with the Twin girls name and some florals. Also, sugar cookie favors were made for everyone to take home. They were 2 Peas in a Pod design.
Can't wait for the little ones to be born. We are getting them to a good start in life by eating lots of cake & cookies!!! :)

Bridal Shower Cupcake Tower & Pastry

Summer is here!! I had the pleasure of creating a Cupcake Tower and Pastry Tray for a Bridal Shower which I attended as well. The weather was a lovely sunny, 93 degrees and very humid conditions for the outdoor event. Not quite ideal for chocolate, buttercream, & cream cheese!! Happy to report, no major issues.
The cupcake tower consisted of Chocolate cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream in Lavander, Lemon Apricot with Orange Cream Cheese in Orange, & Coconut with Cream Cheese in White. All had a small fondant cutout flower accent. There was a 6'' Fondant Covered Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Buttercream decorated with summery flowers, butterfly, & fondant bow. The pastry tray included Oreo Truffles, Lemon Butter Cookies, Chewy Pecan Cookies, & Graham Cracker Pastry dessert. It was nice to see all the hard work come together and being enjoyed by all.
The shower itself was one of the nicest showers I've been to in a while. The bride-to-be seemed to receive many lovely things to go along with the GORGEOUS ring on her finger!!! I was happy to have had a small part of this wonderful event.

Ice Cream Cupcakes

These are some Ice Cream Cupcakes which consist of Marbled Cake baked inside cupcake cones with colored Vanilla Buttercream. These were for a Memorial Day Picnic.

I've been baking away but not taking pictures, hence the 2 month lapse in posts. I hope to be much better with posting my baking projects :)

Spring Cupcakes

It's finally feeling like spring, and what better way to ring in that feeling then with some colorful cupcakes!!! These are Vanilla Cupcakes with Buttercream Swirled Frosting. Blue & Green are Vanilla Buttercream, Light Orange is Orange Buttercream, Light Yellow is Lemon Buttercream, and Light Red is Strawberry Buttercream. Yes, I coordinated the colors with the flavors for the most part. I call this particular swirl design a refined design. The cupcake was a nice dense (but not too dense) true vanilla flavored cupcake. I found they taste even better the next day (if that was possible) with the buttercream infusing its sugars into the sweet little moist cake. Yum Yum Yum.
