Rainbow Birthday cake and cupcakes

Picked out by one cute FOUR YEAR OLD, this rainbow cake was a blast to make! Colorful on the outside AND inside!

Nightmare before Christmas cake

This was my first attempt at a "tilted" cake! It was a little more time consuming than I had planned for, but it always seems to be that way when you test out something new!

Teal and purple smash cakes!!!

A fun smash cake for ONE-year-old pictures and a beautiful mermaid tail cake for the party!!! I LOVE the colors in these pretty cakes!

Sports Variety!!!

There is a little of everything in this fun birthday theme!!! The cake was designed to resemble a baseball field and the cupcakes are good mix of soccer, basketball, golf, football, and hockey!

Leave no superhero behind!!! What a fun cake for a cute little Four year-old! The top tier is a 6in chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting, the bottom tier is an 8in vanilla bean flavor cake with vanilla buttercream frosting! All of the fondant pieces were created using marshmallow fondant!

Bright Baby Shower cake and cupcakes

Lots of color and lots of fun with these bright cupcake liners!!! Sometimes simple is best!

Baby Boy Shower cake

Light Blue and Brown baby shower cake and cupcakes!

Paw Patrol

This cake was created for a sweet TWO YEAR-OLD boy! It's a 2 tiered 6/8in marble flavored cake with vanilla buttercream frosting! The Paw Patrol badge was free-hand cut (because the cutter set I had ordered did not arrive in time) out of marshmallow fondant!

Chevron cakes

When you have two birthdays...two weeks apart...you often find yourself celebrating with ONE party!!! Each boy had their own idea of which kind of cake they preferred. So, we went with two different themes, but pulled them together with some fun chevron!

The Thomas cake was a double layered 8in chocolate cake with raspberry filling and white chocolate buttercream frosting.

The ninja turtle cake was a double layered 8in vanilla funfetti cake with cream cheese buttercream frosting!

Butterfly cupcakes

I really enjoyed the fun colors and pretty butterflies on these cupcakes!!! I found a lot of great tutorials on fondant butterfly making and was amazed at how simple they are to make!

Turtle "Shell" cakes!!!

Ninja Turtles have been very popular in this household over the past summer and fall!!! I made this "shell" cake at the request of my four year-old for his 4th birthday party! We also had to have some turtle cake pops to go with the cake! Lots of fun and one of my first times making cake pops!!! The cake is a vanilla funfetti 8 inch round! I used the soccer ball Wilton pan to get the turtle shell shape on top! The cake is covered in cream cheese buttercream with marshmallow fondant accents!

I created a different version of this same cake for another special little guy who turned THREE!!!

A cake fit for a Queen!

This is a chocolate tiered cake covered in cream cheese buttercream and decorated with marshmallow fondant detail!

It's NOT FROZEN in Minnesota yet!

Wedding Cupcakes

Two hundred and four gorgeous cupcakes later!!! Wow...that was a lesson in multi-tasking, because I bake, but I bake around the lives of three crazy boys ages 5, almost 4, and almost 2! Baking and decorating is my outlet...my opportunity to take my mind away from the laundry, the cleaning, the WHINING...it's my "happy place" if you must. However, this week...I had done the shopping, baked the 17 dozen cupcakes in 7 different flavors, and I thought life was good. Insert almost 2 year old with a high temp. NOT GOOD! So, now the decorating had to be done around the holding and cuddling of a cute almost 2 year old who did not understand that mommy was working while playing mommy. So, that's my life...multi-tasking...unplanned...and trying to go with the flow. Not always easy, but worth the end result! I LOVE these cupcakes and the bride did an excellent job of picking out flavors and color combos! I hope they were enjoyed!

Sweet Pink and Gold

I just have to say that I LOVE this design!!! Maybe it's because I live in a world of boys...or maybe it's because I love the combination of pink and gold! Either way I had a lot of fun creating this cake and cupcakes! I used a lot of gold sprinkles in combination with marshmallow fondant to create the cupcake toppers. The ruffles were also created using marshmallow fondant.

We celebrated our teachers by delivering some coconut mocha and lemon poppyseed cupcakes!!!

Spongebob cake

He lives in a pineapple under the sea...

What a fun cake to make for two brothers with birthdays within a few days of each other! Lot of fun colors in this cake all created with marshmallow fondant and buttercream frosting! The cake was also a fun pink champagne flavor!

Simplistic smash cake!!!

How sweet is this little cake? I love that I was able to create something pretty and special enough to be used in this little girl's first birthday photo shoot!!! I want to thank her mommy and the photography company for letting me use this picture on my blog!
