lots of cupcakes









Justin's cousin wanted to order cupcakes to celebrate her best friend's birthday. She decided she wanted the cupcakes to celebrate a lot of his interests. One dozen blue velvet, one dozen carrot cupcakes. All with custom fondant toppers.

Eva's 7th birthday, purple flower cake


I have known Eva since she was 15 months old. The first cake I made for her was for her 3rd birthday, while I was taking Wilton classes. She always has a very specific idea of what she wants her cakes to look like. She doesn't like fondant, but decided that fondant details were ok :) 
Chocolate cake, chocolate filling, vanilla butter cream, fondant details.

Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) cake








This was a fun theme I hadn't done before. A coworker of Justin's wanted a small cake to celebrate. 6in buttermilk cake with vanilla butter cream. Covered in fondant with hand painted fondant details

21st hot pink, red and carolina blue cake

This was a new color scheme I have never been asked to do before! Hot pink, red and Carolina blue, the birthday girl's favorite colors. The cake is vanilla buttermilk, filled with a homemade strawberry jam filling, iced in vanilla butter cream and covered in fondant

Go Diego Go first birthday cake





Fun first birthday theme! I got to make a variety of treats for this party: Cake, smash cake and cupcakes. 
The tiered cake was marble cake with vanilla butter cream, the cupcakes and smash cake were vanilla/vanilla.

Woods themed cake




This has been such a fun week! I got to make cakes for 4 different events! As well as cupcakes for a party and give away :) This cake was for a rehearsal dinner. The sister of the groom was the one to choose the design and order the cake. I LOVE how it turned out, I especially love the flowers! The top tier was vanilla buttermilk with vanilla/almond butter cream, and the bottom two layers were filled with chocolate and iced in vanilla butter cream.

Orange ruffle flower cake



I have really been enjoying playing around with gum paste flowers. I made this one for a friend's birthday. It's chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream, her favorite combination. She does a lot of paintings in yellow, orange and green so that's why I picked this color combination.

Harry Potter 7th Birthday





This cake was fun and a challenge! It was a challenge, because I have never read or watched any Harry Potter. So, I turned to google searches to get ideas for this cake. I am really happy with how it turned out :)
