Aqua-Colored Flowers Wedding Cake

This wedding cake was created for my good friends Liz and Noah, who had a beautiful wedding at the Pavillion at Firewheel Golf Club on Saturday. Alternating tiers of vanilla flavored cake and red velvet cake were decorated with traditional buttercream icing and finished with an arrangement of aqua-colored flowers to match the bridal bouquet.

I made these mini hamburger baskets for my fiance for father's day. Each item in these baskets are made of different desserts. The humburger buns are made of butter vanilla cupcakes topped with little sesame seeds, the burger patties are brownies, and the french fries are made of sugar cookies. Each burger was topped with lettuce (green colored coconut) and ketchup (red buttercream frosting).

Assorted Pink Cakeballs

Last month, I was asked by a friend to make a large order of cakeballs for a bridal shower she was co-hosting in Austin and she was nice enough to share with me a few pictures of the dessert display. These cakeballs were made of red velvet cake mixed with cream cheese frosting and dipped and decorated in different shades of pink to match the shower invitation. Thanks Liah!

Teacher Appreciation Flowers

This week is teacher appreciation week and I used this opportunity to squeeze in some baking while treating my daughter's school teachers to some yummy sweets. These flower bouquets are totally edible. The petals are made of Good & Plenty licorice pastels, centers are chocolate M&M’s and buds are specialty cake balls (chocolate chocolate chip and French vanilla cake flavors) covered in vanilla almond bark.

I made this double layer round cake for my daughter's 1st birthday party and it was decorated to match the color of her birthday invitations. The cake flavor is dark chocolate covered in buttercream icing and the coordinating cupcakes are french vanilla cake topped with buttercream icing.

Retirement Cruise Cake

I was asked to make this cake for a retirement party being hosted for my co-worker (at my full-time job), Debbie, who had been with our company for 20 years. My inspiration for this cake was focused on her "favorites". She loves elephants, cruising, chocolate and Peeps candy. The cake topper is German chocolate cake filled with gooey caramel and iced with buttercream icing. The chocolate cupcakes were simply topped with buttercream icing and finished with a Peep candy.
