Rie’s Second Birthday

|

Look whooooooo’s turning 2! It’s one of my best friend’s daughter, Rie.

Owl Cake

You may remember I did a garden party cake for Rie last year. This year, her mom Lisa wanted to do an owl themed party. This may be a good time to mention that I am a full time graphic designer. I work a 9-5, and decorate in between cooking, cleaning, mommy-ing and wife-ing. I love it though! This year and last year, I not only got to decorate Rie’s cakes, I also got to design her invitations! I thought it would be fun to show both the invitation and how that translated to the cake.

The inside is confetti cake with buttercream. Lisa lets me take creative control and I love her for that. This year she let me do a textured outside with some simple embellishments. I think the fondant owl is just precious and looks just like the one I created for the invitation. Would anyone be interested in seeing a fondant owl tutorial? It turned out to be relatively easy!

MONSTERS!!

Stoked doesn’t even begin to express how happy I am with the outcome of this cake. I was excited when she asked me to do it and after it was finished and sitting in the refrigerator waiting to be picked up, I giggled with excitement every time I looked at it. This was an incredibly fun cake to make. The colors are vibrant and on point and all of the fondant pieces and piping areas just seemed to come together perfectly.

Rustic, Country Wedding

|

Sarah Ann is one of my very biggest fans. One of my very first projects was a cupcake arrangement for her son’s birthday. Here we are about three years later and she asks me to do her wedding! Sarah Ann has impeccable taste. I love getting to work with her on anything. For her wedding cake, we did cinnamon roll cake and peanut butter cake, both with buttercream. I was also in charge of putting the entire table together, which was also a ton of fun for me.

Sophisticated in Pink

I was so excited when my friend, Joe, asked me to create his wife’s 50th birthday cake. They planned a gorgeous party at their house, where a chef came and cooked dinner for their friends and them. It was a gorgeous set-up, filled with roses and pink decorations. I was so glad when I dropped off the cake, to see that it was going to fit in perfectly with the rest of the set-up. This is such an elegant looking cake .This cake is simple and sweet vanilla cake, the petals are fondant with the tips painted pink, and the roses are real, fresh roses.

Yo Ho! Matey’s Away!

This was so much fun to create. One of my very favorite customers, and biggest fan ordered a cake for Laken’s special day. He loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates, so I helped him out with this little number. The cake is simple and sweet vanilla with classic buttercream and fondant/gumpaste accents.

Ryan’s 30th Birthday Cake

|

My mother-in-law and I threw my husband a big birthday party for his big 3-0. My husband LOVES movies. Loves them. So what else would we even think about doing besides a movie themed party. We decked the place out. The centerpieces were comprised of old movie reels and clapperboards. There was a filmstrip that had thirty years of pictures of Ryan in them, and we also did a red carpet entryway where people could stop and get their pictures made.

For his cake, I decided to do a one sheeter and make it in the form of a clapperboard, which also resembled his party invitation. It was really tasty and I feel like it turned out really well. He liked it and that’s all that really mattered.
