Chic 1D (One Dimension) Sweet Sixteen Cake

Wild and chic at the same time, had fun with this SweetSixteen Cake. Combined sweet, simple hearts with sassy zebra stripes to complement the 1D logo on top, for a birthday cake any teen girl would enjoy. Red velvet cake and white chocolate cream cheese filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents.

Western Wedding!

Well. It's true, I generally don't do weddings. I mean, I DO have a full time 40+ hours a week real-life job and all . . . and weddings, they take TIME. But this was a favor for my beloved mother, who after all, did bring me into the world and opted not to "take me out of it" though I'm sure I pushed her to that limit on more than one occasion. So, these were for the daughter of a friend of my mother . . . and originally it was to just be a small wedding cake, but somehow it grew into 125+ regular sized cupcakes, 36+ mini cupcakes, and a 6" 2 layer small wedding cake for them to cut. I made 4 kinds of cake: yellow, french vanilla, chocolate and "funfetti" as that's what they wanted in the layered cake. :o) The frosting is vanilla and chocolate buttercream, with marshmallow fondant accents, most hand formed, some hand cut with fondant cutters. I don't yet have a photo of the cupcake tower at the wedding . . . hope to get a good one soon, as I did hear that everything at the wedding looked wonderfully western . . .

Last Minute Anniversary Cake

So I was shopping at Target (or Tar-zhay if you want to sound exotically silly ha ha), looking for who knows what (it WAS several days ago!) when I ran into my dear friend Val who mentioned they were throwing a last minute party for Tony and Steph's anniversary (Tony knew, Steph didn't) and could I come? "Would love too", I said! "What can I bring? Do you have a cake? No? I'll bring one!" SOMETIMES I wonder what I am thinking, ha ha! This was the same day I made the ladybug cake (see previous post) and after delivering that cake, I literally had less than 2 hours to bake, decorate and arrive at the party. But, hey, not too shabby, right?!! I thought it was kind of quaint and cute. :o) It's a butter pecan cake with vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting. The leaves and flowers (look familiar? ladybug cake? ;o) ) and the black outline of the heart are marshmallow fondant.The party was fun, a little karaoke, a lot of good food, and some great friends! Even a Christmas tree (Tony proposed Christmas Eve twenty-something years ago) to add to the ambiance! Yay for fun parties!!
