Groom's Cake




















I made this golf cake for one of my many cousin's weddings...first wedding cake gift! My cousin is a golf fanatic and his wife wanted to surprise him with a golf cake...he LOVED it. He came up to me so many times during the wedding to rave about how the cake was so perfect. "You had a freaking sand trap on the cake, that is unbelievable." This cake was a first for me; using fondant and gum paste and all that fancy cake stuff. Rolling out the fondant and placing it over the cake was definitely a struggle; it kept rolling it to thin and it would rip when I tried to place it over the frosting...definitely heartbreaking at times thinking all my hard work might fail. But luckily I persevered and I think the cake turned out great. I also tried to get nice and fancy and make bride and groom cupcakes to compliment the cake...

For Heaven's Bake: first official order
















Made these funfetti cupcakes for a boy's 3rd birthday. They were vanilla cupcakes with a fluffy vanilla buttercream frosting and a rich and creamy chocolate frosting. They were so cute and so yummy. The parents loved the cupcakes when we delivered them; the birthday boy was so excited he said he was going to eat all of them off the cupcake tree. I mean it is his birthday, he can do what he wants right? Sorry mom for the sugar high later... ;)

Happy as a Hippo
















I made these hippos for my sister-in-law's birthday! Hippos or giraffes, these little cupcakes are quite versatile and everything on the cupcake is edible. I even got to use some childhood favorites- Fruit Loops and Nutter Butters...how awesome is that! They were so fun to make and even better to eat!
