Easter Lily & Cross Cake

I created this cake for a good friend who's family was celebrating with another family which they do every year. I surrounded the cake with piped rose technique and topped it with a three little calla lilies to represent the trinity and of course a cross. It was a lemon cake with a lemon curd filling and fresh strawberries between the layers and frosted with fluffy vanilla Italian buttercream.

Giraffe Dedication Cake

This cake was a very special cake for me. I created this adorable guy for my nephew Cooper's dedication in March. It was a cake that designed itself because there were a few changes made throughout the process. It turned out So cute though. 

I think he liked it too. They did their pictures behind the cake and the whole time he was trying to get at it. 

And he dug right in. Can't wait for his 1st birthday!

Snowflake Baptism Cake

I was asked to make a special cake for a little girls baptism. She wanted a cross and snowflakes on it and said I could run with the rest of the design. I love these kind of cakes because I love creative freedom. I started with the snowflakes and then MANY tiny white dots of fondant swirls to make them look as if they were falling on the cake. I then used my new letter punch to write "God Bless in fondant. Why I didn't use frosting to do all the dots? Well butter is not white (why manufacturers feel the need to put yellow coloring in butter still baffles me) and would give the dots a yellowish tinge that would take away from the crisp whiteness of the snowflakes and cross. I decided on the purple background color because I just love the look of snowflakes on purple. Was a little nervous about the purple but they loved it!

Open Book Christening Cake

I was sent a picture of a cake that they wanted for this very special day. I was happy to create this beautiful cake for them. My new letter punch came in handy to create the fancy wording. The blocks and teddy bear add such cuteness to a beautiful open book cake.

Baptism Cake

I designed this cake for a baptism. They wanted something simple but beautiful. Originally I had only 2 stacked circles between each cross but it looked like the crosses were flanked by snowman so I switched them around and did four instead. It looks much better. Look closely and you'll see that the cross has a circle pattern imprinted on it as well.

I made this cake and cupcakes for a young ladies baptism. It is such a important day in our lives when we decide to take this step of faith. I am happy that I could create this beautiful cake for this fantastic celebration. The design of the cake is from cutiepatootiecakes.com. I then created the cupcakes to match the cake.

I designed and made this cake for the kids at Winchester United church who were being confirmed last weekend. It was also pentacost sunday so I added in the reds and oranges. Since it was also the sunday school picnic I knew I couldn't go wrong with chocolate buttercream.

100th Cake - Baby Dedication Cake

Here it is...my 100th decorated cake. I made it for the baby dedication at my church last Sunday. It turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself. It must have tasted good to because I was told it was gone in no time. Unfortunately I wasn't able to enjoy the celebrations because I had to work but I am glad that everything went well. I made decorations as well for the occasion but I will post them all in another post.

Tobey's Dedication Cake

I made this cake for my nieces dedication yesterday. We chose to do this cake because it was so delicate, dainty and just plain pretty just like Tobey. It was a white velvet cake with strawberry cream cheese filling as well to keep with the white and pink feminine theme of the cake. It was a wonderful day of celebration with friends and family.
