Stephanie's Bridal Shower!

One of my very best friends, Stephanie, is getting married in May! I hosted her first bridal shower this weekend. Lots of Pinterest inspired details went into the day! She found a cake on Pinterest in October and asked if I would replicate it for her. Here is the original, and here is my cake!

 

The favors I made were diamond ring cookies.

 

Other decor and the food spread from the shower - not very good pictures, it was a sunny day!

 

 

 

 

Star Wars for Boy Scouts!

I was asked by a teacher friend at school to make a simple Star Wars themed cake for her son's Boy Scout cake auction dinner this weekend. Here is the final product!

Olivia's Cinderella 4th Birthday!

I completed a order of cookies for a friend's little girl's Cinderella themed 4th birthday!

Stacked Cakes

In December I took a one night class to learn how to stack cakes. I now know how to create stacked cakes and tiered!

Jennifer's Tiffany's Bridal Shower

My sister in law requested a Tiffany & Co. themed bridal shower. What is the first thing you think of when you here Tiffany & Co.? The little blue box of course! That was my inspiration for the cake. The cake was white cake with chocolate fudge filling and vanilla buttercream. The bow was fondant.

The cake - four layers

The entire display at the shower - many cupcakes were wrapped to take!

The cupcakes were champagne cupcakes with vanilla buttercream.

Cookie Bouquets

Sugar cookie bouquets can be made with any type of cookie cut outs. I like to use either royal icing or buttercream on the cookies. The following are cookies made for my students and teammates for Christmas.

Cookies can be placed in any container and wrapped together or separately. 

Each of these cookies were wrapped separate with a ribbon and a note that said, "You're so bright, you light up my life!"

Cupcakes!

I can take any image and transfer it onto the cake. Think coloring pages, logos and teams!
