Happy "60th" Birthday Larry

I had the honor of making three cakes over the weekend for one of my best friends dad.  The cake themes were all his favorite hobbies: hunting, fishing, and gardening.  Happy Birthday Larry! (Ruth Ann, Larry told me the day of the party he loved the cakes, but if I would have made a cake with you on it, it would have completed all the loves in his life.)

White cake with buttercream. Treeand deer are made out of modeling chocolate. Tree stand and ladder are the only things that are not edible. I wish I had a picture that was closer showing the little acorns of the ground.  The squirrel has one in his hands.

Chocolate cake with chocolate mousse. Everything is edible, except the fishing line from the pole to the fishes mouth. Everything else is fondant.



Carrot cake with a buttermilk glaze and cream cheese frosting covered in fondant. All the vegetables are edible on the cake and made from fondant as well as the scarecrow.

 Thank you Ruth Ann for the order and inviting us to share Larry's birthday with you and your family.   

Happy Birthday Mom

My mom's birthday was yesterday and we had a "Surprise 60th Luau Party" for her.  I made a two tiered luau themed cake and cupcakes.  I forgot to take pictures of the cupcakes(pina colada cupcakes with a coconut cream cheese frosting), but my sister took some, so hopefully I will be able to share those pictures with you soon.  Thank you to everyone that came and shared such a wonderful day.





The top cake is chocolate with chocolate mousse.  The bamboo is made of fondant.  The tiki faces are made out of modeling chocolate and all the flowers are made of fondant/gum paste.  The bottom cake is white with buttercream. In the back is a lei that is made of fondant as well.

My beautiful mom.  Happy Birthday, Love you.

"Bunco Cookies"

I had so much fun making these cookies.  Hope you had fun at Bunco Night.



"Sweet 16"

I had a request for only fondant decorations for cupcakes.  The customer was making her own cupcakes, but wanted something on top of the cupcakes that included the girl's hobbies and that she was turning 16. 

Hearts with 16, cell phones with a white bubble to put next to the phone saying Happy Birthday Taylor, and soccer balls.

Happy "Sweet 16" Taylor!!

Baby Shower for My Sister

My younger sister is expecting her second child in the next couple of weeks.  This past Sunday we had a baby shower for her to get ready to welcome him into the world.  I decided to make several different desserts for the baby shower that day.  I thought it would be cute to make my sister (of course pregnant) out of fondant and put her on top of the cake.



The cake is a four layer white cake with butterceram and fondant over the buttercream. This was my first time trying a chocolate cupcake with caramel and it was delicious.  It's a chocolate cupcake with a caramel filling and then a salted caramel buttercream and more caramel drizzled on top.

Red Velvet Cupcakes with a Butter Icing.  I got this recipe for the icing from my Mom some time ago.  Just my opinion, I'm not a big fan of red velvet with cream cheese frosting, especially after eating this frosting on red velvet since I was a kid.
