Pink Bouquet Cake

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.  

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.

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.

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.

Pregnant Belly Cake

I loved making this one.  It is covered in fondant and decorated with chocolate fondant.  It's great for your baby shower, or it could be done a little differently for a bachelor party!

Blue Zebra Stripes Cake with Fondant Bow

This cake was for an 11-year old girl.  She wanted zebra stripes and blue.  I added the bow for the topper.  Had a slight accident with the bow and a piece of it broke off of the bottom, but not too bad.  The tiers are 9" and 6" and feeds 35.  The cake is white and has buttercream icing with fondant accents. 

Stawberry Delight Cake with Fresh Strawberries

This is the best strawberry cake EVER!  It is strawberry delight cake which is made with real strawberry puree and cream cheese.  It is iced with whipped topping and garnished with fresh strawberry halves.

Teddy Bear Cake and Petit Fours

This cake was made for my friend's baby shower for her gift.  The bear was baked in a molded cake pan with fondant accents for his face, feet, and bib.  He is made from pound cake and is covered with buttercream piped with a grass tip for hair.  I used food markers to write the name and color the eyes.  Vanilla and chocolate petit fours were made to match.  She loved the bear so much she didn't let anyone eat it at the party!

Butterflies and Flowers cake

Here's a sweet 2-tier cake decorated with fondant butterflies and flowers. I LOVE this cake. It's just so pretty for a little girl. The same idea can be applied for boys as well with dinosaurs, sports, trains, or cars and trucks for the theme.

Frog pond baby shower cake

This cake didn't quite turn out like I wanted it too. The colors weren't right, and I didn't like the frog. But a cute cake still.

MY Baby Shower!!!!!!

Here are pictures of my shower from this weekend. It was done in light blue and brown. I love polka dots, so there were plenty. I made the cake, which was white cake with strawberry whipped filling (YUM!), and I made cake pops. There was also chunky chocolate chip cookies, Oreo balls, pecan cookie balls, fruit tray, veggie tray, spinach dip, hummus, pretzels, white chocolate covered pretzels, matching m&m's, cashews, chips and dip, and white cheddar popcorn. DELICIOUS!!! Thanks so much to Ashleigh, Linda, and Chelsea! My shower turned out better than I've ever imagined, and I am so grateful to have my friends, family, and now Clayton!

Candy Coated Pretzels

Vanilla Candy Coated Pretzels are great for any occasion. These were made for a baby shower with pink drizzle and pink ribbon. They can be done in any color, with sprinkles, or made with milk chocolate and sprinkled with nuts. They are $11.00 per dozen individually wrapped with ribbon, or $9.00 per dozen unwrapped.

Giant Petit Fours!

These petit fours are HUGE!! I might as well call them snack cakes!

Shaina's Baby Shower/Baby Shower Petit Fours

This picture was taken before the food arrived.

Shaina had tons of gifts. This was taken before all of the guests arrived.

We had such a great time at Shaina's baby shower today! We chose not to do the traditional pastel baby shower theme, but a more modern

hot pink/black/white theme. We had about 15 friends and family there. We played games, talked, and had great food! I chose to do cupcake petit fours for the shower with hot pink and black daisies on top. Since it is Valentine's Day weekend, I was able to find hot pink cupcake liners! My mother-in-law, Peggy, made cute paper boxes and woven paper hearts to hold the mints and jordan almonds. Thanks to my friend Ashleigh for her help (get well soon!), Trisha, and Peggy as well.

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

"IT'S FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE!!"

We look forward to a winning season with the Vols new head coach Lane Kiffin!

GO VOLS - BEAT UCLA!!

This is my new giant chocolate chip cookie cake! It is inspired by Great American Cookies cookie cakes. It is homemade chewy chocolate chip cookie with homemade rich buttercream and fudge icing. This is a 12x8 size which will serve 15-20 people. It can be decorated any way you like for birthdays, showers, ball games, parties, or for your own indulgence! You can go to http://www.greatamericancookies.com/ to see great designs for your cookie cakes!

Gift Box Cake

This is my first fondant bow. I think they are really nice on a cake and are great for a birthday if you don't know what to put on someone's cake. The cake can be any color or have any type of design to it. The bow can also be any color and have polka dots or stripes on it. This cake is covered in buttercream, but the cake can be covered in marshmallow fondant as well. If you want one of these bows on your cake, please call 4-5 days ahead because it takes that long for the bow to set up.

Topsy Turvy Cake

I've been wanting to make a topsy turvy cake for a long time. So I just made one for myself this weekend. It's a very interesting process and was a ton of fun to make. Usually the first time I do something new, it turns out to be a total disaster. But I had no trouble with this one. Even the fondant turned out nice on the cake. It's just the second time I've tried covering a cake with fondant and it worked out great. Also my first time making the wire topper. Finding the right kind of wire is difficult. But this worked well. My original idea for the decorations was pink and brown with flowers on the top tier and a bow. My chocolate fondant didn't work. It was too dry to use, so I changed the whole thing. I love pink and green just as much as pink and brown. The cake inside are new recipes too. A new version of strawberry that is absolutely fabulous, and a chocolate fudge brownie cake on the bottom tier. It is so moist and fudgy. My favorite chocolate cake now. I have two strawberry recipes now. The one I made for this one which is Extremely Strawberry and dark pink, and the Strawberry Delight which has real strawberries and cream cheese. Strawberry Delight is a delicate strawberry flavor, light pink, and the cake is so moist and creamy. It is really my favorite one, but Extremely Strawberry is good too. Well, I'm glad I know I can make one of these cakes now and look forward to the next one. Look at http://www.pinkcakebox.com/ for great designs for your topsy turvy cake order!

Petit Fours

Petit fours are good for bridal and baby showers. It's best to freeze the cake before you cut them to make the edges more crisp. I was rushed with these and had to cut them fresh from the oven.
