Lavender Baptism Cake

A wonderful lavender cake for a little girls baptism.  I always find shades of purple and blue hard to get just right.  I loved how this lavender turned out!

The top tier was strawberry vanilla cake with cream cheese icing.  The bottom tier was banana sour cream cake with cream cheese icing.

Elephant Baby Shower Cake

One of my most popular posts was an elephant inspired baby shower cake.  I was so excited to make this cute cake to welcome the upcoming arrival of a baby girl.

I have seen this elephant holding a balloon design as a cake topper (I'm not sure who it originated from).  I thought it would be a cute idea to put the elephant at the bottom with the balloons which reminds me of that cute movie Up and from this wonderful cake design by Cup a Dee Cakes which I have admired for so long.

Year of the Snake Cupcake

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!  The chinese lunar new year starts on February 10th, 2013.  This is a 15-day festival which ends with a lantern festival.

In the chinese zodiac, we say goodbye to the Year of the Dragon and this year is represented by the Snake.  It is your lunar year if you were born in 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989 & 2001.  Happy Chinese New Year!

Running Shoe Cake

Any runners out there?  Any marathoners out there?  How fabulous is it to cross that finish line for the very first time?  A perfect occasion for a cake with a handmade sugarpaste replica medal of their Disney Marathon medal.

I had so much fun making this cake as I have always been a runner and one day hope to get to Disney to run their marathon!

Baby Shower Sweet Table

I had the pleasure of collaborating with my client to put together this lovely baby shower dessert table.  The color theme was yellow with a little grey.  There was a lovely array of desserts and flowers that we discussed with sketches and over email.  How wonderful it was to see everything come together on the lovely Sunday!

 

The desserts included:  Mini Donuts, White Chocolate dipped pretzels, lemon tarts, strawberry vanilla cake, brownie cake pops (made by the host), double chocolate chip cookies and milk, passion fruit and vanilla macarons (made by Bobette & Belle), cinnamon rolls, two-bite brownies and a selection of candies.

 It was a beautiful collaboration and I can't wait to do another sweet table!

Dr. Who Cake n' Cupcakes

For all those Dr. Who fans out there....  I had a lot of fun making this cake and handmaking the sugarpaste characters.  It was harder than I thought it would be, but I loved how it turned out!

I also dug out this photo from a while back of these cupcakes that I never posted.  Enjoy!

Cute Pink Cake

Today is a short and sweet little post... of a cute pink little cake for an 8 year old girls birthday.    Have a sweet day!

80th Birthday Cake

I try never to duplicate a cake design, but this is a copy of an 80th birthday cake I did a few years ago.  This design is fabulous as I can personalize it for the birthday boy.  This 80th birthday boy enjoys his morning paper with his coffee, loves golf and tennis.

It may be hard to see in this photo, but I was also able to personalize the newspaper with his other hobbies of bowling, biking, skiing and travelling.
