Something About These Shoes...
A girl loves her shoes... no matter what her age. I made ruby slippers out of gumpaste for my niece, Zoe's, birthday. I guess she was impressed with their quality because she wanted to wear them. Love this girl!!

Ladybugs!!
Happy first birthday Isabella! The large cake is a 3-layer vanilla, chocolate, and vanilla with rasberry filling. The "smash" cake is vanilla with buttercream frosting and little fondant ladybugs and royal icing flowers. The ladybug on top of the main cake is made of rice krispie treats and covered with fondant.

Welcome Fall!
Ahh... I love fall. And what's more fall than pumpkin muffins? Sadly, pumpkin is REALLY hard to find right now. I managed to beg a can off of a friend and had to resort to ordering more off of Amazon. After having one of these for breakfast... totally worth it!
Cookies & Cream Cupcakes
Last week I had a cupcake from a bakery in downtown Chicago. Now, I'm not much of a cake eater anymore (something about mixing excessive amounts of frosting turns me off now), but this cupcake was SO amazing. The frosting was perfect. So I'm now trying to replicate that cupcake. This frosting was definately close. The cake is more milk chocolate-y than the one I had from the bakery, but still pretty tasty if I do say so myself :)

Happy Birthday!

Wedding!
I love a wedding, but man are they stressful when you're in charge of the cake! Fortunately it went off without a hitch. Well, there was one scary moment in the car, but it was handled calmly and in the end was fine.
The cake is all white cake with vanilla buttercream frosting and ribbon for the border.

Twins!
Baby shower cake for twins... cake is vanilla and chocolate with buttercream frosting and fondant accents. The "rattles" are made out of rice krispie treats and covered in fondant.

Happy 4th Birthday Brady!
Oh boy. This may be my one and only 3D cake. Despite many dowel rods I feel it still may be sinking. It's 10:30pm... I wish the bday party was right now! I'm afraid of what I will find in the morning. I'll be hoping some guardian angel keeps an eye on this thing tonight!
Soccer
Continuing with the sports theme are some soccer ball cakeballs. I think they look a bit more like dalmation cake balls, but hopefully the 4yr old will like them :)

Happy Anniversary!
Butter pecan cake with buttercream frosting and royal icing flowers. If I had a better camera you would see that the flowers have a sparkle to them. Sadly, I do not have this camera so you'll just have to take my word for it ;)

Peach & Raspberry Crostata
Ok, I know this isn't a cake... but I was browsing some recipe/cooking blogs today and stumbled upon this great site - www.joythebaker.com and her post today was an apricot crostata. Well, I'm not a big apricot fan, but peaches and raspberries were on sale so I thought it was a perfect fit! Now, mine are not as lovely as hers, but they taste great!
