Pink Sprinkle Cake for my Princess

 My baby wanted a chocolate pink sprinkle cake for her birthday, so I gave it to her, in it's very simplest form. A chocolate cake, with pink butter cream and lots of sprinkles! Happy birthday princess!

Funfetti cake

 My husband always requests funfetti cake and sprinkles for his birthday, so I delivered on his request!

Princess Water Party Cake

This cake was made for my friends adorable little girl who wanted to have a princess water party. This was our interpretation of a princess water party cake. Princess on the side, and water party on top! Those Polly Pocket accessories really came in handy for this cake!

 

Baby's first birthday smash cake

 For my baby's first birthday I make her a little pink cake to smash, and then a bunch of cupcakes for the guests to eat. The cupcakes had super cute toppers with pictures from her first year of life. She was not sure about the cake and was very cautions, but she ended up having fun ripping into it anyway.

The sprinkle abomination

My husband loves sprinkles. He ALWAYS requests a sprinkle cake, and I ALWAYS give it to him. Here is this years rendition.

Panda Cupcakes

 I came across this Idea on Bakerella's blog and loved it. I thought the panda cupcakes were absolutely adorable. Mine didn't turn out quite as perfect as Bakerella's, but still, pretty gosh darn cute. If you want to make them as well click HERE to go to the original link.

Stephanie's Gold and Burgundy Wedding Cake

This wedding cake was really fun for me because I made it for the little sister of one of my really good friends from my junior high and high school days. I hadn't seen her for almost 2 years when she contacted me about doing a wedding cake for her little sister. First of all, it was really weird for me to think that our little sisters are old enough to get married. In my head, 5 years and 1 child after the fact, I feel like I am barely old enough to get married. So once I got over that shock I had a lot of fun meeting with Stephanie (who is not 9 years old anymore) and her fiance and discussed this cake. She said her colors were champagne, gold and burgundy. I have never done those colors on a cake, so I was excited. She also wanted to use a nontraditional  cake topper. I was a little worried initially about the Willow Tree figurine, but I think it turned out really well. I iced the cake in a champagne colored Icing and then sprayed it with gold luster dust (which comes of surprisingly yellow in the pictures). Then I went crazy making all kinds of different burgundy gumpaste flowers. I was pleased with the results and very happy to have a chance to reconnect with an old friend while delivering the cake.

 

 

Gumpaste Lilies

This is not a cake, but it could go on a cake. I have been learning how to make sugar flowers and I just made my first set of Lilies. I think they turned out pretty good!

Heather's Baby Shower

A few months ago I did both cupcakes and cookies for the baby shower of a friend of mine. She wanted everything pink and girly. That is my kind of baby shower. I made vanilla cupcakes with pink vanilla swiss meringue butte rcream. I also designed and  printed the little cupcake toppers that went on the cupcakes.

While my first love is cake, I also absolutely love cookies. I make some crazy good ones too. for this baby shower I made chocolate fudge sandwich cookies with a cream cheese icing filling and rolled them in pink sprinkles. These are such a cute and seriously tasty cookie.

I forgot to take pictures of these creations, but luckily two of the guests are also photographers and my friends (How sweet is that?!) so I was able to get copies of the pictures they took. I think they turned out well. You can see more of their work here...

Here is a picture of my little cutie at Heather's baby shower. She fit right in with the pink theme.

Thank you Kayli and Laurel!

Adelle's Purple Baby Shower Cake

This baby shower cake was made for a fun quirky person that I know. She was having a little girl, but unlike me, did not want her baby to have anything pink. She wanted purple and lime green for her little one, and I made it happen. I covered the hat shaped cake with purple fondant and then cut out flowers and baby carriages and pressed them onto one of my floral texture mats. Then they were brushed with a pearlized shimmer dust. It is a unique cake, but I like it! Also, the actual cake was a vanilla cake that I dyed purple with food coloring and it had lime green butter cream as well.
