Chocolate Peppermint Cupcake


This cupcake was our bestseller at the Holiday Open House. It's a chocolate cupcake with peppermint buttercream and has crushed candy canes on it. Definitely a crowd pleaser!

Lemon Raspberry Cupcake

This cupcake was one that we sold at the Open House. It is a lemon flavored cake with raspberry buttercream and each one came with a fresh raspberry on top.

Christmas Red Velvet Cupcake


These cupcakes were a big hit this Christmas! I made 150 cupcakes for a Holiday Open House for a friend. We sold almost all of them! This cupcake is a red velvet with vanilla buttercream and is topped with a vanilla fondant snowflake.

Barnes & Noble Christmas Cake

I was asked to make a Christmas cake for the annual Barnes & Noble staff Christmas party. I presented them with this two tier chocolate cake with mint buttercream frosting and vanilla fondant. I brushed lustre dust on the green and red accents to give it a frosted look.

Tasting Cake

I made this "tasting cake" for a customer. It was originally supposed to be plain ivory but couldn't bear to leave it naked! Plus, since it was just a practice run I thought I would try out some beading. The cake is all almond; cake, buttercream and fondant. The ivory fondant is studded with white buttercream beading.

Pink and Zebra Cupcakes



These cupcakes are vanilla flavored with pink vanilla buttercream and chocolate fondant cutouts. I found these cute zebra cupcake liners and had to build a cupcake to compliment them!

Green Monster Cupcakes

These green monster cupcakes were inspired by the "Planet Cake" book. They were a lot of fun to make for Halloween. The cupcakes are almond flavored with chocolate ganache and vanilla fondant. The black part (the mouth) is made of chocolate fondant.

Halloween Cake

I made this two layer almond and chocolate ganache cake for a Halloween party. It's covered in white vanilla fondant and the bats are also vanilla fondant. The swirls are made of black royal icing.

Birthday Cake


I finished a Birthday cake today. I was asked to make it for a 14 year old boy. One of his favorite colors is green so I thought this color scheme might be cool and not too girly. The cake is vanilla with chocolate buttercream filling and vanilla fondant. Black fondant stars and a "14" tops the cake!

Baby Shower Camouflage Cake

Today we finished the three tier camouflage cake for a baby shower tomorrow. It turned out to be a little bit of a nightmare. Because the fondant was so dark, it was tricky to perfect (unlike lighter colors, the darker ones show more flaws). But here it is! It consists of 10", 8", and 6" squares. The cake is basic white almond with vanilla buttercream and a layer of fresh strawberries. The fondant is also almond flavored (tastes great with strawberries). The cake is topped with a camouflage bow to match the baby's nursery decor and baby shower theme.

Camouflage tier Cake

We're finalizing details on the three tier camouflage baby shower cake today. We won't be making the actual cake for another two weeks but the color scheme and design is coming out great!

Wedding Sugar Cookies



This week I tried out the sugar cookies that will be Karyn's wedding favor. This was to be a trial run to see if I would have time to do them for the wedding...it turns out I don't have time :( Being maid of honor and all. So the job was outsourced, but the cookies turned out really good and we got ideas for what she wanted.
