Adding to the Repertoire
I recently completed a skills course for creating piped flowers. From lilies to peonies to roses, I’ve got quite a few new skills in the repertoire. This cake was made as the class “final.” It includes a rope border technique, a basketweave on the side, roses and leaves. As I’ll be taking it to work tomorrow, I couldn’t help but put a fun message on the top! Did you hear that co-workers? You’ll have to visit my cube for a sweet treat.
Chocolate for my Love
For my husband’s birthday I made a chocolate Guinness cake. The cream cheese frosting ends up looking like the froth on top of a cold one. Happy Birthday love!
Charlie is 2!
My coworker Zoe’s son Charlie is turning 2 today! He is a true boy and loves anything with wheels. For his cupcakes, we decided on “dirt” covered cupcakes with wheels and a few with the number 2. (Don’t worry, the dirt is actually graham crackers and Oreo crumbs.
Cupcakes Are For Lovers
Nate and Athena had a casual barbecue for family and friends tonight, the eve of their wedding! I was excited to have carte blanche for the evening’s sweets. My only direction was to bring cupcakes! These chocolate cupcakes are topped with a swirl of vanilla buttercream and two hearts (in the wedding colors) stamped with the couple’s initials. I also had fun using some of my cake plates to display the treats.
Cant’ wait for tomorrow’s festivities. Here’s a sneak peek of the photos from the rehearsal!
Hewitt-Altstatt Wedding
Kristie & Ben’s Forth of July wedding has a nautical theme, and I love her idea for the cake topper! This is key-lime cake covered in fondant and decorated with layered paper decorations. This cake is just for the couple (only the top tier is edible), and guests will be served key lime tarts. Stay tuned for a post on those sweet little dishes! I also have to share the photo of the cake at the wedding site! What a great location for a party!
