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!

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.

It counts.....and I must say I loved it, what a game! So thank you Amy.... Hope you enjoyed the cupcakes =)

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!

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

  How fun was this cake to make! And a  big +plus+ NO FONDANT!!! I was asked to duplicate a train cake that was found online, with a few twist of my own style=) The top cake is vanilla with pineapple coconut filling, on bottom vanilla cake w/banana filling......and covered in coconut!!... my favorite part *grin*. This train cake was for a precious little girl turning 1! The party was held at a train museum, inside a restored train....how cute is that! These pics don't do it justice, with disco dust sprinkled delicately on top of the coconut... I just loved how soft and fluffy it turned out =)

 Happy birthday Cousin David... Christmas eve birthdays deserve special cakes too!! Red Velvet cream cheese frosting it was!

How'd you arrive at that number???

"WOW!!! How come it cost that much......it's just cake!?"

 I came across this beautifully worded article and thought I would share. Now I have some wonderful friends/clients who know I try and give the best pricing possible!! Most of the time.....more than I should. BUT there is always the "few" that don't think cake is quite worth "that' price. At times a little discouraging because of the amount of time and supplies it takes just to make the raw cake and icing.....let alone hand molded gum paste works of art!!

 There is so much more that goes into this edible form of art than just flour and icing...... hours of back breaking work (just ask the hubby hehehe) and lots of love!

Hope you enjoy Stacey's blog post as much as I did :)
