Kacey's Shoes

Kacey's 2 year birthday.  She is obsessed with shoes so it was only fitting to make her birthday cake into a shoe!  Vanilla cake with buttercream frosting.

Easter

 More fun with cake pops!  The pink chocolate for the bunnies was a little darker than I would have liked but they still turned out pretty cute!  A little more time consuming than I would have liked but I am still learning the whole chocolate dipping technique.  There is definitely a science to it that I haven't quite mastered but I am getting there!  They seem to be very popular so I am getting lots of practice!! 

Pool Balls

 I couldn't find all the colors I needed for the sugar coating on top so I had to learn how to make my own.  A fun process that turned out some very cool results!  The numbers are written in food coloring ink on white chocolate melting wafers. 

Naughty!

 What started out as an innocent forward message, turned into a very fun gag gift for a friend's husband.  This is the end result of the naughty cookies!  I had so much fun designing them.

Baby shower

 My first attempt at cake pops!  The best experiment yet!  These I did as upside down 'truffles on a stick'  I was so excited and they turned out to be a huge success.

 This was a theme of firsts for me.  The cake was my first attempt at making something with tiers.  It was not very successful in structural soundness but it was a great learning experience for future cakes!  In the end, it still tasted good.  The babies are made of Starbursts, Tootsie rolls and Jolly Ranchers.

Purple!!!!!!

Lia loves purple and wanted a Barbie cake.  I try to stay away from the gimicky stuff but there are always exceptions!  The Barbie skirt is chocolate cake and the sheet cake I decorated with buttercreme icing and purple sugar sparkles. 

Snowmen cupcakes

My son had a homework assignment to make a snowman out of something.  It could be anything.  So of course he had the idea to make snowman cupcakes!  Wonder where he got that idea???  We made vanilla cupcakes and used mini chocolate chips, M&M's, orange Starbursts and chocolate drawn into hats to decorate.  They were a huge hit!
