Beauty and the Beast / Poker Cake

For this cake, the bride came to me with two very specific and very different cake ideas. One half would be her purple beauty and the beast falling rose petals cake, and the other half would be her husbands poker cake. This cake was a unique challenge because I got to find a way to blend the two together in a way that would hopefully work. Putting the multi colored fondant on the cake at at 45% angle was also a new task for me. The whole cake was brushed with luster dust to give it a pearlized look that was really pretty in person. I also make all the playing cards and poker chips and the rose and its petals out of gumpaste. So enjoy this cake with the split personality!

Jessica's Lace and Teal Wedding Cake

This wedding cake was for my little sister. I still cant believe she is married! She told me she wanted lace like her wedding dress and her sea-foam/teal wedding color incorporated in the cake and then gave me free reign to do what I wanted. I LOVE that. I was able to make a cake for my sister that she loved, but its a style that I love too! It was a chocolate cake covered in fondant and all of the lace applique is fondant as well. We finished it off with a ribbon that was being used in her wedding decor as well. I am still loving my living room wall color, it was perfect to photograph this cake against.

Once we got to the wedding we finished of the cake by putting roses on top and surrounding it with rose petals on the bottom. I thought it was stunning and would make this cake again in a heartbeat. It's too bad brides tend to have something in mind already rather than wanting me to replicate a cake I've already made! forgive the low quality pictures at the end, they were taken with my phone.

Simple Houndstooth Wedding Cake

I really like this cake. It is super simple but I love it. It is just covered in white fondant with a houndstooth ribbon that I think came from Costco. I am also loving my teal living room wall to take pictures in front of.

Simple chocolate nutella cake for Nora

My sister in law is having a baby! My girls will finally have a little cousin their age! And in honor of that, I quickly whipped up this chocolate cake with Nutella frosting and sprinkles for her baby shower. The lettering is purple modeling chocolate. I also make about 40 cupcakes along with it, but I only have pictures of them in their favor boxes. When you are trying to host a baby shower and bake and cook for it and manage 2 babies at the same time, taking nice food pictures tends to slip your mind. I only have these photos because my mother took them!

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.
