A client ordered a couple dozen of cupcakes for his birthday. While the flavors and decorations are from my go-to list of flavors, I couldn’t help but devour a couple of each. Key lime cupcake with cream cheese frosting, and carrot cake cupcakes.

Copyeditor Edits Cake

This Princess Mononoke cake was ordered for my coworker Morgon Mae, who is a copyeditor for a magazine. The white character are forest spirits called Kodama. (Here’s a snippet of the movie that I used for inspiration.) I was so anxious about misspelling “Mae,” that I completely overlooked the unique spelling of “Morgon.” The good news is, when I delivered it this morning, Morgon Mae thought it was an intentional misspelling, a practical joke of sorts! Luckily, I was able to convert the “a” to an “o” on the spot. Happy Birthday friend, and thanks James for the uique cake order!

My co-worker Nicole commissioned these cupcakes to match the Chrysanthemum invites sent out for Kirsten’s baby shower. The cupcakes themselves are carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Not quite a “push gift”, but I hope they makes Kirsten’s last few weeks of pregnancy a little sweeter!

Stef and Troy used this unique monogram in their black-and-white wedding, so I recreated it for the top of this anniversary cake. The 6-inch square cake is composed of 3 layers of carrot cake and filled with cream cheese frosting.
