Barbie again.

 This is another Barbie cake that was done for another adorable girl down the street. What a cutie! The cake turned out cute, too! It is chocolate cake that my husband swears tastes like oreos when frosted with white buttercream. I think he's right.
She wanted pink, and the doll came with pink and orange, so I went with that. It was a bit more orange, the pictures seem a bit yellow, but the pink is just the right shade. I loved the tiny rose I made for her hair, now I am wishing I got a closeup shot of that. Should have thought about that before.

Wedding cake and cupcakes.

This cake was for my cousin, Natalie. It was made to look like her dress. She had a gorgeous dress! Her colors were eggplant purple, and apple green. If I had been given a better idea of what the wedding would look like, I would have changed the cupcake colors to green and purple. Still, it was a beautiful cake, and a gorgeous wedding! So happy for her!

Sweet Sixteen, again!

This cake was for a Sweet 16 party! What a great way to celebrate a birthday. It made me feel so excited for spring, but as I set up this cake, it was snowing the most beautiful, big snowflakes outside. Well, I guess if spring isn't here outside, we can have it inside, right?

This is a closer shot of a few of the butterflies. They turned out so cute!

Turkake!

This year, I didn't have to make a million pies as usual, so for Thanksgiving, I though I would do something a bit more adventurous. Bring on the Turkake!

I had a great time making little fruit and veggies, but I just loved the orange. It even had an orange peel texture. So adorable.

The pumpkins and corn were fun, as well. Best way to eat your veggies, but mom's probably want your veggies to taste more like veggies, and not like marshmallow fondant.
Had to add a picture of the lemon. They turned out great, too. Although, fruit and vegetables aren't usually sparkly, I suppose.
It was a fun cake to do, and I usually don't get to eat my creations. They usually go to someone else. This was a nice change. The pumpkin chocolate chip cake was wonderful. I forget how much I love that one.

Sweet Sixteen!

A while ago I did a cake for the daughter of a friend I used to work with. Her last name has changed, so I didn't know who it was for until she stopped by my house to pay for the cake, but it was so great to see her! She has the cutest family now.

Polka Dots


This cake was made really quickly, I had a bit less than a week's notice. Still, I think it turned out really cute.

De Ja Vu....

I don't often get the chance to do a cake twice, but this bride saw the cake from last year, and wanted the same thing. However, it is covered in buttercream instead of fondant. Once again, I forgot my camera, so I used my phone for pictures. The cake table wasn't ready yet, so I assembled it on a nearby table, and they moved it after I left. Hope it was all ok. Such a fun cake to do.
