Cake Pop Birthday!

I had been getting a lot of questions at internship about cakes and cake pops. When my fellow intern had a birthday, she requested cake pops instead of cupcakes. Being that it is April I wanted to do something that would be Spring like flavor and designs. I decided to do a lemon cake pop with a lightly flavored raspberry buttercream icing. Dipped in white chocolate and drizzled with pink white chocolate. Needless to say they were devoured in no time!

Black, White, & Blue All Over!

I was recently contacted by a friend from high school about making a birthday cake for her 26th birthday. She wanted something to express her personality. She originally said she liked things that sparkled and then sent an example of a cake that she would like. We decided on a two-tier topsy turvy cake with zebra print and electric blue with black details.

To express the sparkley side of her personality I decided to use black sanding sugar on the embellishments to give it a depth instead of being flat black. The final product turned out very well!

The cake itself is a red velvet cake with a crusting cream cheese icing covered and decorated in buttercream fondant. The black fondant is chocolate fondant tinted black.

Strawberry Love

I recently completed my first year internship and to celebrate and to thank my supervisor and all of the employees I made my version of a strawberry shortcake cupcake. I don't care for actual "shortcake" and prefer something much more light and airy. I really love the combination of angel food cake, berries, and whipped cream so why not incorporate it into a cupcake?!

This is a light and airy angel food cupcake with a homemade strawberry preserves filling and a strawberry, mascarpone whipped cream frosting garnished with a half strawberry. I must say, this is the best icing I think I have ever tasted!

Here Come's the Cake

I recently was asked to make a wedding cake that would serve 100 people. The colors were wysteria (a shade of purple), black, and silver. In order to match the color exactly I ordered ribbon from David's Bridal which is where the dresses came from.

The cake is a vanilla cake with a vanilla buttercream filling and icing. Decorated with wysteria, silver and black ribbon and silk white roses.

In Loving Memory

My grandfather died in October 2011 from lung cancer. My family decided we were going to celebrate his life rather than mourn his passing. On March 25, 2011 family and friends of my grandfather all gathered together for a Celebration of Life ceremony. It was an amazing ceremony and really helped bring back all the fun times and what a great person he was.

This cake is a full sheet cake. Half choclate/half vanilla with a vanilla memorial ribbon. The cake is iced in vanilla buttercream. The words are out of buttercream fondant.
