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!

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.
