Birthday shirts

Riley's third birthday is this weekend so I created these matching cupcake shirts for my girls. I think they turned out pretty cute!

I have a faithful supporter who purchased two gift sets and a birthday cake. I attempted my first writing job on a cake and think it turned out pretty good.

Buttercream creations

My mother has always been a famous baker (in my book and many others!) and sells specialty cakes like red velvet and Italian cream from time to time. She's always been interested in taking cake decorating classes. So with my new found love of baking I pushed her into taking a class with me and we've had a blast. Here's a picture of my first creation using buttercream icing. Not completely perfect but I was proud of it and it was delicious if I do say so myself! It's a yellow cake with strawberry preserves as a filling, iced and decorated with buttercream icing. I've even had my first order for a birthday cake which I am working on tonight. Who knows, maybe another business endeavor for me! :)

Belated 4th of July celebrating

I'm a few weeks late but wanted to share my 4th of July creation! This was a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing plus a little surprise...

Hosting a Wedding Shower

Another love of mine...planning and hosting parties! I have helped with a few weddings, planned and hosted parties at work, and love every bit of it. From the planning to the decorating to the hosting, I just really enjoy it. I coordinated a shower for my brother-in-law and fiance this weekend. I thought it turned out nice. We served finger foods as well as desserts that included another one of my fondant cake creations, a strawberry cake topped with chocolate fudge icing and fresh strawberries, and my favorite-a chocolate fountain! Need help coordinating a special event, let me know!
