This vanilla chocolate swirl sheet cake was made to display the birthday boy's favorite Star Wars character, R2-D2. The figurine was handcarved and covered with fondant.

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.
