Tiki Mask and Tropical Flowers Cupcake Cake




I LOVE these cupcakes.  I made a fondant tiki mask, pineapples, and tropical flowers and displayed them to look like a Hawaiian lei.  They are yellow cupcakes with buttercream icing.

WE DO MISS YOU CONNIE!!!
I made this for a former co-worker who left us to go way up north to Johnson City, Tn! It is half white, half chocolate cake with buttercream icing and fondant flowers and a fondant bow.

I made this pink doll cake for a first birthday party.  It is white cake with buttercream icing.  She is dressed and ready for her Prince Charming!

This kite cake is great for a spring time birthday party!  The kite looks like it is flying through the air!  This one was my specialty; white velvet cake with fresh strawberry filling, and citrus buttercream.

The Call of the Wildman "Turtle Man" Cake


LIVE ACTION!
This little boy loved the show "Call of the Wildman".  It has the Turtle Man pulling a snapping turtle out of the pond that is surrounded by cattails.

Flower Cupcakes


I made these cupcakes for a retirement party we had at work for a fellow employee.  White cake with vanilla buttercream, and chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream.  YUM!

Pink and White Polka Dots, Cupcakes, and Bows Cake

This cake is like the green, yellow, and orange one....just PINK!  It features a large cupcake shaped tier on top that can be easily removed for the little one to SMASH!  This cake was white cake for the bottom tier, dark chocolate for the middle tier, and white cake for the cupcake on top.

Stripes, Dots, and a Cupcake on Top

I made this one for a 1st birthday cake.  The cupcake on top is removeable for the birthday boy (or girl) to play with.  The customer put her own candle on top of the cupcake for the child to blow out, then SMASH!  It is butter cake with buttercream and fondant decorations.  I'm not crazy about how the colors turned out, especially how they look in the picture.  The customer had a t-shirt she wanted me to try to match, and it had these colors in it.  It did look better in person, but I think I would do the colors a little different if I could do it all over again, but still it was a cute cake.

Go Diego Go! Birthday Cake


For some reason, I could not get a really good, clear picture of this one.  It is a 2-tier topsy turvy cake with a flowing stream, palm trees, monkeys, and Diego!  It is funfetti cake with buttercream and fondant decorations.

"Dirty 30" Over the HIll Birthday Cake

Milk chocolate cake with rich chocolate buttercream icing, airbrushed black, with a very loving message on top!

Pink Flowers Birthday Cake

A pretty pink flower birthday cake with freshly made strawberry filling, white velvet cake, and citrus buttercream.  YUMMMM!

Poker Table Cake

I did this cake for a co-worker's daughter's sweet 16 party.  They had it at San Miguel's coffee shop on the square in Winchester.  They decorated with all sorts of cute poker themed decorations, and had poker tables set up to play games.  I made poker chip mints to go along with the cake, but forgot to get a picture.  (Seems like this is an ongoing theme to my posts!)  The cake was marble with buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant decorations. 

Blue Baby Shower Cake


My cousin-in-law and I gave our other cousin a baby shower this past summer.  We did it in blues and white, with cheescake brownies, lemon and almond cookies, fancy shmancy chips and spinach dip, fruit tray with dip, pinwheels, and fruited tea....oh and CAKE!!!  I love the spider mums and the bows on the trays.  The tea was a nice change to traditional punch which is sometimes sooooo sweet.  It was refreshing since it was so hot outside (and inside too!).   The cake was white velvet with citrus buttercream decorated with a big fondant bow on top.   I made a really pretty diaper cake, but unfortunately I did not get a picture of it!!  Oh well, maybe next time.

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.  

Noah's Ark Baby Shower Cake


Here's a cute idea for a baby shower!  All of the critters are handmade from fondant.  The ark and rainbow are also made from fondat and have an edible glitter finish on them.  

Duckie Baby Shower Cake



This is a cute duckie themed shower cake with handmade white chocolate duckie and fondant bow.  The stripes and bow are handpainted.  I also made duckie mints for the shower.
