Sweet Sixteen Cake

I love making cakes for teenaged girls, thanks to my never ending supply of pink sprinkles & glitter.  This particular birthday girl asked for an order of my cake truffles for her birthday last year, so naturally those were used as a way to decorate her cake also!

The basic yellow cake was iced with vanilla buttercream and white fondant.  Piping was done with the buttercream, and cake truffles adorned the top for an extra treat.

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Baked right into an ice cream cone, these strawberry cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting are the perfect summer treat!

To make: put ice cream cones in a muffin tin and fill with your favorite cupcake batter.  Bake for 25 minutes, let cool, and frost!

Burger Cupcakes

Just in time for the weekend.... Burger cupcakes!

These are easy as can be!  Vanilla cupcakes for the bun, half a chocolate cupcake for the burger & colored buttercream for the ketchup, mustard & lettuce.

Pink, White & Zebra Fondant Cake

Every time I make a cake, it becomes my new favorite.  This cake may hold first place for quite some time :)

Another graduation party cake, for another "cousin" of mine!  Sloane's party theme was pink & black & zebra stripes.  The cake (& cupcakes) fit in perfectly!

This cake was so much fun to make!  I had my first experience making the zebra stripes, and I love the way it turned out.  The beautiful thing about fondant?  It withstood the 90+ degree heat on Saturday!

The bottom layer was chocolate, the middle was pink velvet funfetti, and the top layer was vanilla.

All the layers were filled & iced with vanilla buttercream & covered with homemade marshmallow fondant.  The cake was topped with a gumpaste bow.

I also made vanilla & pink velvet funfetti cupcakes (in pink and black zebra striped liners), pictured in the background.

Congratulations, Sloane!!

Stacked Fondant Cake

Another graduation cake!  This one was three layers, 6"/9"/12", and was vanilla, chocolate, and banana cake.
Vanilla buttercream was used for filing and icing underneath the homemade marshmallow fondant.

Fondant & Swirls Cake

This is the other cake for the joint graduation party on Saturday.  There were no specific requests, and all I knew was that she wasn't picky about flavor and loves purple.  So naturally, I made her a purple velvet funfetti cake!  It's filled and frosted with whipped vanilla buttercream & decorated with fondant.

Happy Graduation, Nikki!

My beautiful little cousin, Nikki, just graduated from high school last month.  She is super smart and got an amazing scholarship for college, too!  I had the honor of making her cake & cupcakes for her graduation party  this weekend.  I knew the cake had to be extra special, just like her ;)

Nikki asked for a lemon cake with a lemon curd & whipped cream filling.  I decorated the cake with a purple (her favorite!) buttercream in ruffles.

Congratulations, Nikki!
