Rainbow Cupcakes

This assortment of cupcakes included vanilla, sweet potato and strawberry cupcakes. They were made for a baby shower with a primary color theme, so I swirled a little color in the icing.

Baby Grayden is Coming!

The theme of this shower was centered around feet and booties and I'm sure when baby Grayden makes his entrance into the world it won't be long for the happy parents hear the pitter patter of his little feet around the house.

This two-tiered cake was strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting covered in blue and white homemade fondant. The cake was then accented with fondant feet and hearts, trimmed with blue and white striped ribbon and topped with blue fondant baby Chuck Taylors.

Fall Wedding Cake

After 15 years my sister-in-law, Tameka, and her now husband, Kenny, decide to make things official and jump the broom. They had an intimate ceremony by a lake, then invited friends and family to their home to help them celebrate their union.

I was honored to make the cake for this event. This four tiered cake is iced in cream cheese frosting and decorated with fall colored silk flowers. The design was simple yet very elegant and the colors went well with the autumn weather.

Congratulations and good luck to the happy couple.

Strawberry Cupcakes

These strawberry cupcakes are a nice tasty treat.  The strawberry cake is made using fresh strawberries then topped with strawberry cream cheese frosting and garnished with fresh strawberries.  This is one of my favorite desserts to eat.

Key Lime Cake Covered with Fondant

Key lime cake is a favorite of one of my coworkers, but when I searched for a recipe, it seemed they all contained box cake mix or lime jell-o.  I'm not one for using box ingredients, so I altered my vanilla cake recipe by adding lime zest and lime juice to create this moist and delicious key lime cake.  I frosted the cake with a lime cream cheese frosting and covered it with my homemade fondant.  Although making fondant is fairly simple, it is an extra step, but I think it's well worth it since store bought fondant doesn't have the best taste.  The daisies, flower stems and pearls are also made using fondant.  

Although this cake is green, it doesn't have to be.  For those who stray away from dye and food coloring, the green can certainly be left out.
