These are cupcakes I made for halloween this year. The pumpkin ones were red velvet with vanilla buttercream. The other 2 cupcakes were black licorice cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. You have to like black licorice to enjoy these ones which I do so I thought they were very yummy!

Blossoms & Butterflies Birthday Cake

I don't know why I can't get this picture to flip right. I did this cake for a 21st birthday. I think it is a really pretty cake.

Coffee Cup Cupcakes

I made these chocolate cupcakes with coffee buttercream for my uncles birthday. I topped them with coffee cups and dusted them with cocoa powder to make them pretty.

Chocolate Butterscotch and Pralined Bacon Cupcakes

I wanted to play around with some flavors and really wanted to use bacon. So I made a chocolate cupcakes with butterscotch buttercream and topped with crumbled pralined bacon. I thought they were absolutely delicious and so did mostly everyone else who tried them. My brother-in-law on the other hand thought they were a little wierd which was surprising since he is a huge bacon fan. Will definitely be using bacon in more recipes though.

Bingo Birthday Cake

I was asked to make a bingo cake for a 55th birthday party. She loves bingo so I made her a winning card. Take it all with G55!

Traffic Sign 16th Birthday Cake

I had put a gift certificate in a silent auction for a fundraiser for You Feed Them. A couple from my Church had the highest bid and redeemed it this weekend for a cake for their son who was turning 16. I designed this traffic sign cake since he will now need to know what they all mean as he will now enter the driving world.

Cowgirl Birthday Cake

I designed this cake to celebrate my cousins, Karen and Morgans, birthdays in December. Karen is a horse fanatic and Morgan is living in Alberta for the year so I made a cowgirl cake for them.

Daisy Birthday Sheet Cake

This daisy sheet cake was for a clients mother-in-laws 80th birthday. It is a carrot cake with vanilla cream cheese icing.

Old Man Birthday Cake

My brother-in-law asked for a cake for his boss's birthday. He is always telling everyone who asks how old he is that his room at Carleton Lodge is ready. So I made him an old man cake to welcome him. It should be quite a few years before he is ready to even make the waiting list.

Green and Brown Orchid Birthday Cake

I designed this cake for my Mom who was having lunch with her high school girlfriends and celebrating a couple of their 50th birthdays. I have been wanting to try to make an orchid and used this as an opportunity to do so. The instruction book showed a green orchid so I went with that and created a brown and green theme. This cake has quickly been added to my favorites list.

These are some of the cupcakes I did for this years Christmas and winter season. I took a candle holder and turned it into a cupcake holder. The Christmas tree cupcakes are chocolate with bailey's buttercream which were very yummy. Snowflakes are made of white chocolate.
