Simple & Elegant

This is a 6" triple chocolate fudge cake filled with mocha buttercream icing, covered with vanilla butterceam. The cupcakes are triple chocolate fudge with the mocha buttercream icing. This cake was done for a personal reason. I'm getting married in November & since I don't want to worry about making my own cake, we're having a Ben & Jerry's wedding cake! They made me a sample cake but were way off the mark. They asked that I show them what I want & this is it (without the cupcakes - I made those with extra batter).

C is for...A Cookie Monster Cake!

What a fun cake to make! There are many options for this cake but as to not detract from Cookie Monster himself, I took the simple route. This is a triple chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling. It is decorated with vanilla buttercream. His eyes are M&M's.

A Horse Lovers Cake

This cake was very simple & there are plenty of ways to make it fancier - like adding a saddle, bridle, flowers in the grass, ect. However, as simple as it is - it is still really cute! It is a chocolate fudge cake with vanilla & chocolate buttercream icing.

PINK cupcakes!

A special little girl turned 3 this weekend & her request was to have pink cupcakes! Her mom thought that strawberry would be the way to go. I made 18 french vanilla cupcakes & filled them with fresh, organic VT strawberry jam & topped them with strawberry buttercream frosting (made with the same jam). I also made 18 triple chocolate cupcakes topped with the buttercream icing. No decorations were necessary as the were beautiful as is!

A Very Winnie The Pooh 1st Birthday!

Everyone loves Winnie the Pooh & what's better for a 1st birthday than a Winnie The Pooh 3D smash cake? To accompany the smash cake I make a 12"x12" two layer butter cake with vanilla buttercream filling decorated with a Winnie the Pooh scene. The smash cake was vanilla pound with vanilla buttercream frosting. I also made some chocolate cupcakes topped with vanilla buttercream frosting.

It's not often that you get to see your cakes set up at the event but this one I was a guest at & you can see it matched the theme perfectly!

3D Mini Teddy Bear Tiered Floral Cake!

This cake was made for my daughter's 1st birthday party. I had so much fun making it. She loves teddy bears & I used Wilton's 3D Mini Teddy Bear cake pan. The bear was her "smashing" cake. The cake has the following:

8" Bottom cake - 1 layer chocolate cake, 1 layer vanilla cake filled with vanilla buttercream icing.
6" Middle cake - 2 layers of vanilla cake filled with chocolate buttercream icing
3D Mini Teddy Bear - vanilla pound cake (to hold it's shape it needed to be made out of pound cake) covered with chocolate buttercream icing.

Flowers: Royal icing
Decorations: vanilla buttercream
