Cupcakes for my loves

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!!! Pretty much rules my TV right now, thanks to my 3 year old. She is absolutely OBSESSED with Minnie Mouse! So when it came to her 3rd birthday I knew exactly what I was going to do! I did coconut cupcakes with a whipped pink frosting covered with coconut. The bow is fondant, and Mouse ears are black melting chocolate rounds.




My baby sister turned the big 1-8 !!!  So I made her a BIG giant gourmet cupcake to celebrate! The cupcake "wrapper" is done out of melting chocolate. Inside is a double vanilla chocolate chip cake. topped with chocolate ganache, vanilla butter cream, cookie crumbles, Drizzled with ganache, and finally, adorned with a full size chocolate chip cookie! Let me tell you it smelled DIVINE mmmm!
 Yummm! And just in case you were wondering....... yes this can be done in virtually ANY flavor combination!! So dangerous!!

Yellow and black baby shower cake

This baby shower cake was so precious *grin* I was asked to do a slimmed down version of a 5 tier cake that was found online. I have to say the yellow and black is so sharp. I loved how it all came together! Bottom cake was marble filled with fresh strawberries. Middle, carrot cake with cream cheese filling. And the top...red velvet, cream cheese filling! Yummy!
 Damask stenciling in royal icing, and handmade letter "A" monogram.

The very same day I delivered this cake we left on to Las Vegas on vacation! And if you know me.... you know I LOVE desserts =)) So I looked up a couple of places, and convinced the hubby....even though he's "not that into desserts".... On this we are surely on different planets lol. SO we went to Jean Phillipe at located at the Aria hotel. Top left is a Snickers cake, top right, raspberry rose macaroon filled with pastry cream. And the hubby got a fruit tart, "best he's ever had!"...... SUCCESS!!
Kiddo and I giddy for sweets =)

Next stop was Max Brenner.....chocolate by a bald man. Located in the Forum shops at Cesar's palace. Let me tell you....it smelled Devinne!! And my blended chocolate frappe was like drinking a chocolate bar!  Mmmm
 Yummm!

 And just in case I needed a reminder!!!!

Wedding cake!
I did this wedding cake last weekend for my childhood friend. Wedding cakes are always a Lil extra special, but this one meant so much to me! Her colors were champagne, and these purples and pinks. It was a simple cake with pearl non perils, painted with champagne luster dust. The florist provided the flowers. And I must say.....it was delicious!! Bottom cake was lemon with raspberry filling. The middle and top were triple espresso chocolate cake with cream cheese filling. Yumm!


Birthday cake for the girliest girl I know!
Handmade fondant make-up, and white chocolate cupcake liners (yeah I went there!) And they were so stinkin' cute!!
Happy 23rd birthday Bro! (wink* wink*)hahaha

February Cakes !

SUPERBOWL!!!
Now, I have to admit I don't watch  sports!! Really my family was just never into football.....or any other sport for that matter, what can I say, we are more of an artsy fam I guess =) SO this year thanks to my lovely friend I paid attention to who was going to the BIG game. (mainly to see what colors I was gonna work with) lol. But hey I watched! WE did watch this years super bowl, with friends over and everything..... even if it was a cake consultation by default! It counts.....and I must say I loved it, what a game! So thank you Amy.... Hope you enjoyed the cupcakes =)



Cake cookies for the bff!! I just couldn't resist making these for my oldest and dearest friends birthday! Happy birthday Jamie Joy!!


Ahhh and then there was Valentines day..... I must say, I almost skipped it this year *gasp* I know! But.....I couldn't bring myself to do it =) Soooo I did some love scrabble cookies, and Hearts for my daughters 3rd grade class, personalized with each child's name =) 







Baby shower cake!!
I always love doing something just a Lil different. This baby shower cake was just that! a slight Moroccan theme, with a touch of elephants, with the colors light/dark pink, light/dark grey, yellow and brown. I absolutely LOVE this cake! It was all frosting with fondant accents, pressed in paisley prints, dusted with luster dust! My crappy pictures really don't do it justice..... it was beautiful!!

Both tiers were vanilla cake, top cake with pineapple coconut, bottom was banana creme... Yummy!
