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.

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.

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.
