So this is long over due...

I had the honor of making some delicious treats for my brother's wedding reception a few weeks ago.  The bride wanted a separate treat table. Here are some of what I made. I'm still scrounging for photos of the other treats I made. Unfortunately, I didn't take my own photos. I know...I know...smack on the hand. So when I locate some I will be sure to post them later on. 

All together made (strawberry, vanilla and chocolate)-cake pops, cupcakes, mini cupcakes, white and semi sweet Oreos, hand decorated homemade sugar cookies (vanilla and chocolate) and three types of brownie bites (fudge, peanut butter and cream cheese) yummmmm

A Very Special Time...

I had the pleasure of making a groom's cake for my baby brother's wedding rehearsal dinner. Two of his favorite things are golf and the Dallas Cowboys. So this is what I came up with...

It was really fun and a real hit with both him and his guests. 

I also baked quite a few hundred deserts for their wedding reception treat table. I will post those photos later this weekend. 

As for now... I am officially exhausted and headed to bed. 

Diamonds are a girls best friend....

I've just finished decorating 50 hand cut diamond gem shaped cookies.

Whew!!! Took a lot longer than I thought. But it was well worth it. They are too cute! 

Now they have to dry for a couple of hours and then they will be individually packaged.  

Nap time :) 

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs galore...

I have cupcakes to make for Friday and since they are for little ones; I decided to make cute little bug toppers:

Ladybugs, bumble bees and colorful snails. All made of MMF and so yummy. I will post photos later this week. Until then

Is it time for summer yet????

I am so ready for summer to be here. Spending days at the lake, picnics in the park and lots and lots of fresh fruit. 

Here's a watermelon basket I made for a friend of mine. 

I had never even attempted one before today and she asked if I could make some for her son's birthday party. So this was my trial and error basket. I had to sneak a few pieces for myself (who could resist). 

End of the school year is here...

These are cupcakes I made for my daughter's first grade teachers.

They absolutely loved them and thought they were too cute to bite into. 

As always, all decorations are made of MMF and completely edible.  

Chalkboards, books, graded papers and desktops complete with the iconic apples, rulers and pencils. 

Hello Kitty is in her way...

Here is the graduation cake I was working on this past week. I completely forgot to take photos of the FINISHED CAKE....I'm so mad at myself for that. It was all sparkly and had edible pearls adorning the top. But that's ok. I asked the graduation girls to take some photos and send them to me.

Here is a sneak peak at my Hello Kitty Graduation Cake.

I have a few finishing touches to add in the morning and then she's off to be delivered to the graduation girl. I'm exhausted and off to slumber land. 

G'd night. 

Wonderful Mother's Day..

I had a wonderful day yesterday as i spent the day with family. It's so nice to know you are loved and to be able so show your love in return. 

I wanted be able to give to Mothers something heart felt from me. What better than a mini cake made by none other than myself of  course :) 

I even made one cake completely vegan for my mom whom has dietary constraints. I was pretty nervous because I'm not at all familiar with vegan food. But she really liked it! I was so happy because I think she deserves the world!!!

 

Have a wonderful week ahead!!!

My Finished Cake...I'm so happy!!!

Here it is FINALY!!! I have finished the cake for my baby cousin's christening/dedication tomorrow.

I absolutely LOVE how it came out. It was exactly how I had envisioned it in the beginning. I am so proud of myself and how far I have come in only 3 months. 

It is basic yellow cake with homemade buttercream filling covered completely in my homemade fondant (which is really good). 

The baby and al decorations are made of fondant and are edible. BUT I couldn't eat that precious sweetie. Could you? 

 

Here are more photos. I look forward to your comments :)

{{SNEAK PEAK}}

Here is a sneak peak of what I've been working on for the past week. Is this a photo of a baby??? Nope, it's fondant and I sculpted it to look like my baby cousin. She has the prettiest black curly hair that I meticulously placed strand by strand (took a really long time).

It's my present for my baby cousin's christening/dedication service this weekend. The cake is completely covered in my homemade fondant and buttercream. All decorations are fondant and completely edible.

What a day...I'm exhausted!!!!

So I spent today baking the cake for church tomorrow. The photos are below. It didn't quite turn out like I had envisioned, but it did turn out very pretty with the yellow, gray and white color scheme.

I'll start on the other cakes tomorrow or early next week. Off to bed now...I hope everyone has a good night.

Sleep well:)

Busy, busy, busy weekend-week ahead

So I've got quite a few cakes to get done between tomorrow and Mother's Day. Lots of photos will be posted I promise. Today I'm baking a classic yellow/double chocolate checker board (pattern inside) with buttercream and homemade fondant. This is for my family church that is having a dinner tomorrow.

I've also got a cute camouflage cake I'm trying to figure out for a friends birthday on Wed.

Then I am making 7, yes seven mini Mother's Day cakes for a few mothers in my family. Whew...crazy. Lastly, I have a beautiful cake to make for my baby cousin's christening service. Can't wait to finish that.

Oh, and then I have 150 cupcakes to make for the week after that. At least I won't be bored.

Here's a sneak peak of the inside of my camo cake :)

Simple but Elegant...

I hope everyone is having a good week so far. The weather is a little dreary here but i like the cool weather.
Here is a cake I made today for a family member. I love the simple and elegant look.

This cake can be done perfectly in several tiers making the perfect wedding cake...just saying lol.

Look at my adorable toddler shoes

I have had so much fun making my first pair of baby shoes. They turned out so cute that my 7 yr old wants a real pair to actually wear. What do you think????

Good Morning Sunshine...

So I have come across a wonderful page STARRY DELIGHTS on Facebook and she has the most amazing photos and tutorials. So I gave it a shot at one...here is my attempt at her "Little Girl Sitting"...
I have a ways to go (especially my hands and faces)...lots of cakes to do and lives to run lol. Have a great week!

Mosaic Tiles...on a cake???

So I love doing mosaic tile projects. Being able to create a work of art with colorful little broken pieces of just about anything is energizing for me.

While attempting to make my first batch of white chocolate modeling chocolate..I just couldn't seem to get it to come out right. That's when I had to readjust my vision for this cake. I had wanted to cover it with the white chocolate instead of MMF. When that didn't work because the chocolate crack into pieces so I started laying the pieces on the sides and then just went with it. This is definitely one of my favorites.
The cake is classic yellow cake and milk chocolate with peanut butter buttercream filling (possibly the most delicious filling I have yet to make) covered with vanilla buttercream and all of the decorations are white chocolate and buttercream.

Hope you like it.

Teal Is The Color Of The Day...

Today I made another marbled sheet cake. I wanted to try some new techniques. When I delivered it to my Grandmother to take with her to the wonderful Senior Citizens...she was so excited and said that she loved this one even more than the one yesterday. Although there was some crackling in the icing (due to my boards not being sturdy enough) it still turned to be one of my favorites...very pretty!! I love the clean teal and white combination as well!!

Next week is a busy one. My Mum's birthday as well as another cake for the senior center. Then Mother's Day cakes and another birthday cake for a dear friend. I'll keep you posted!!!

Till then...Bake...Create...Be Happy!!!

Giving and Sharing....

Here is a cake I have made to celebrate all birthdays for the month of April for a local Senior Citizens group. Happy Birthday!!!

Sharing and caring...

I am sooo excited to be starting something new this month. I will be donating two cakes a month to 2 different senior citizens organizations. It will be my way of giving back. It will be to celebrate all of the birthdays for the individuals that have birthdays during he month. It will allow me to work on my new techniques and to also give them something to smile about. I can't wait. The first will be delivered next week.

Chocolate Delights...

Here is an order of devil's food chocolate cupcakes with chocolate fudge icing topped with white chocolate butterflies, swirlies and shavings. Deee-lish!!! All for a personal friend that LOVES chocolate!!

My 1st rose petal cake...

After watching a wonderful tutorial by Vena of Veena's Art of Cakes I decided to give a go. The icing wasn't cooperating with me as he weather was humid and warm. Strawberry Buttercream with pink Buttercream Icing. Not too shabby ey?
