Princess Tiara Cake and Cupcakes






I really enjoyed making this cake.  I made the large tiara from gumpaste cut out with my cricut.  The tiara's on the cupcakes were made from fondant also cut out with my cricut.  The tiara's were brushed with silver luster dust to give them a shine.  The cupcakes were airbrushed pastel colors, and some have fondant flowers.  The flowers on the cake were airbrushed, then brushed with silver luster dust for shine.

50th Birthday Cake with Fresh Red Roses




My husband made these beautiful cutting boards.



I helped my friend give her step-mother a wine and cheese 50th birthday party.  I made the cake, the nuts, and helped with flower arranging and set-up. 

My husband, Joshua, made the beautiful cutting boards that the cheese is displayed on.  He is really talented.  Check out his blog  woodworksbyjoshua.blogspot.com .

The cake is white velvet (my new favorite) with fresh strawberry filling and citrus buttercream.  There are beautiful red roses arranged on top with thin sparkle candles.  The nuts are Union Station Bar Nuts deliciously made with brown sugar and rosemary.  There were fruit skewers, 3 types of cheese and crackers, hummus with pita chips, Bruschetta with Panetini, chocolate covered cherries, and of course...wine.  It was a beautiful party and everyone had a great time.

Petit Fours and Red Rose Cake


The red rose cake is made with white velvet cake, and buttercream.  The petit fours are white cake and poured almond icing.
