Party Cake


This was my favorite cake of the weekend. It was for a party to celebrate a wedding :) The cake is white cake with vanilla buttercream. The bow was made out of gumpaste, and otherwise all decorations are buttercream. I thought this cake was so pretty.

Carol's Wedding Cake


This is a 4 tier fondant covered cake. Bottom tier was lemon cake with raspberry filling and lemon buttercream. Next tier up is Chocolate cake with ganache filling and chocolate buttercream. Then comes chocolate/yellow marble cake with chocolate buttercream. And finally the top tier was pumpkin cake with vanilla buttercream. Yum.

Caroline's Baptism Cake

This is a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. Very simple and pretty!

Close up picture of the top cake

I just like this cake. It was based off of the couple's wedding invitations, and I put thier monogram on the top.

Cupcake Wedding

This is a picture of the cupcake wedding I did this past weekend. I was stressed out about how to wrap the cupcakes to make them look sleek and pretty, and I think it came out awesome. I ended up buying scrap book paper, backing it with packing tape, and individually cutting out, wrapping the cupcakes, and glue gunning (is that a verb?) them together. Kind of a lot of work, but worth it in the end. There were 4 flavors of cupcakes. Chocolate/chocolate, vanilla w/buttercream, carrot with buttercream, and chocolate with vanilla buttercream.
