Weddings & Bridal Showers

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Well, I am trying to stick to my promise and keep the blogging to an all-time high this week, since I haven’t been blogging too much lately.  This post is all about LOVE…I have been meeting with lots of brides lately and recently we did some fun bridal showers and a wedding cake with mini desserts too.  These first photos are of the wedding…the bride wanted to incorporate lots of color, her love of butterflies, and their gorgeous monogram that they featured on their invitations.  This is the design we came up with!

The bride and groom also wanted to treat their guests to an assortment of mini desserts and wanted them all plated on one delicious table spread.  The mini desserts included banana cream pies, coconut cream pies, pumpkin caramel gingersnap cheesecakes, carrot cake and red velvet cake lollipops, and lavender lemon bars.  

These last photos are from the two bridal showers.  The first shower had the color scheme of yellow, teal, and white.  They ordered a variety of cupcakes and 75 bride and groom silhouette cookies…sadly I didn’t take any pictures of the cookies, but you can check out my previous post on them here.

This final cake was made to match the shower invitations, which had a cute, modern look to it.  The cake was chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and espresso, kahlua cream cheese frosting.  

Thanks for taking a look at them!

 

 

Cakes & Cupcakes

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

Thanks everyone for your sweet comments about the Christmas cupcakes!  I love hearing from all of you! Well, work has been busy and I actually have a lot of random orders that I wanted to share with you…so here they are!  The first two cakes are ones that my friend Hannah and I designed for the holiday season. We thought we would go a little more modern with the designs.

This next order was for a Minnie Mouse Cupcake Cake.  I hadn’t ever done one of these types of cakes before and found it to be a little tricky.  I tried just using buttercream to make Minnie’s face, but didn’t like how it was turning out, so I decided to use fondant instead…overall I was pretty happy with it, but would definitely do some things different next time.

A couple weeks ago I had a cupcake order for an anniversary party.  The colors were lime green, gold, and brown…this is what I came up with!

And lastly, this next cake design my friend Hannah & Nadia collaborated on with me.  We wanted to do a modern tree and bird cake.

Thanks for taking a look!
