This cake was for Jordan, who was celebrating her first birthday.
The big cake is Chocolate cake with Oreo buttercream
and the birthday girl's cake was vanilla with vanilla buttercream.
I am pleased with how this one turned out.
Hope the family enjoyed the cake and hope Jordan had a great first birthday!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Ok, so I know I'm a day late, but I got busy yesterday and forgot to post my
"Lucky" Green Velvet Cupcakes.
 My co-workers enjoyed them, and it was a fun addition to the day.

Black and White Swirl Cake

Cake I made for one of the provider's birthday in the office. It turned out OK. I think I should have used a smaller tip to pipe the swirls. I also need more practice at piping period, but I love the bow. The red really pops with the black and white.
It is Banana cake with cream cheese frosting. Yum!

Red Dot Cake

I made this cake for my manager, although she hates to refer to herself as a manager, whose birthday was yesterday. She loves red and has a red lunch bag with white dots on it so that's where the inspiration came for this cake. The flower on the top is a loose interpretation of an anenome, a flower I really want to learn how to do well because I think they are so pretty. I can't wait to try them out again sometime, and do it the right way.

The cake and cupcakes are both red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.

Raspberry cupcakes with chocolate swiss meringue buttercream

I made these cupcakes for my daughter to take to her friends at daycare on her 2nd birthday.
Of course her favorite part was the fondant leaves and lady bugs. Usually she just eats the frosting but this time she just couldn't get enough of the bugs!
