Couples Shower Cupcakes.

I made these for a couples shower - these are the bride and groom's initials and their wedding colors, coral and Carolina blue. 





Mickey Mouse Cupcakes.



These were super easy to make - I did have a hard time getting the ears to stay standing since there was nothing really to support them.  I would make sure to have the small fondant circles really dry and put them on at the very last minute (if possible) next time!  Super cute idea, though!

William and Kate.

You guys all, no doubt, heard there was a Royal Wedding a few weeks ago...right? I actually had friends who were angry over all of the publicity.  I thought it was fun!  As did a customer of mine who threw an awesome "viewing party" of the wedding.  I can only imagine how much fun it was!  She had me put together some wedding cake petit fours as parting gifts for her guests. This was my first time using a dipped icing - it turned out nicely, I thought.  A simple rosette sits on top of each.  (In this pic they look like seashells.  Ha!)

Pretty petit fours all in a row. (Drying stage.)

All packaged up!

AutoBell Cake.



Someone very close to me works for AutoBell Car Wash in the Charlotte area - and I was asked to make a cake for their in-house Christmas party.  (The petit fours below were for them, too.) I asked if I could do a logo cake for them along with their order, and well - I'd say it turned out pretty good!  This was all piped by hand after transferring the logo with piping gel.  Pretty cool!

Super Mario "Toadstool" Cupcakes.



These are Mario "Toadstool" cupcakes made for a 9 year old birthday party.  After trial and error we (Me, My Mom and Sister) had to cover the entire cupcake in fondant to give it the right effect and to let the base be white enough.  They turned out good, but were a lot harder than I would've expected!

Pink and Brown Polka Dots.



This is a buttercream two-tiered cake with fondant circles - the smaller of the two being a smash cake.  Cute for any little girl's birthday!

Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes.







I made these for a preschool class, and while I'm sure the parents liked them...they likely hated me too because these are nothing but sugar! Buttercream icing dipped in orange sugar crystals with an Airhead as the vine and a Rainbow Twizzler as the stem! Perfect for Halloween!

Monkey Cupcakes.



Darling cupcakes made for some adorable twins' birthday party!  The faces are made of fondant.  So cute!

Tennis Cupcakes.




These cupcakes were super cute! Unfortunately, my camera has decided to stop taking quality pictures and is somewhat grainy (so, I'm in the market for a camera!)  I made these for an end of the season tennis party for a high school tennis team.  The pink and blue accents are all fondant.  In hind sight I would have done more of the cupcakes with the grass, racquet and pink ball - they ended up being my favorite.

Safari!



These cakes were made for a one year old birthday party. I. Love. These. Cakes. The sheet cake is fondant - everything is edible! and the bottom is a fondant monkey with buttercream icing so it will be messy for the baby to tear into!!
