Somewhere over the rainbow cake
Sunday, August 29th, 2010Sometimes, the internet can be a dangerous thing for me.
You see, I was reading this wonderful post by Martha Points who got the idea from The Whisk Kid, and I just had to give it a shot.
The rainbow cake, that is. Not for the faint of heart.
A smooth white exterior of swiss meringue buttercream conceals…
Six layers of brilliant rainbow colors.
Beautiful, festive and delicious!
Make your own and tell me all about it!
Gators by request
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010If you know anything about me, you know that I would only make a Gators cake if it really meant something to someone else.
Because I’m all about the Hurricanes, baby.
But my friend wanted something special for her husband’s birthday party. And he’s a Gators fan. So I created this football field cake with a fondant Gators logo for the event.
Two layers of devil’s food cake with a white chocolate filling, covered in smooth vanilla buttercream.
Chomp.
Happy birthday!
Hole in One for Father’s Day.
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010I made this adorable golf course cake for my father-in-law for Father’s Day.
It’s a vanilla cake, flavored with a hint of Bailey’s Irish Cream and filled with chocolate.
And the rest? Well, I think it speaks for itself. Everything is edible except the flag and pole.
Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day!
Friday, June 18th, 2010What better way to celebrate than with this adorable dessert?
Because everyone loves cake.
Designed with a Miami Hurricanes fan in mind, this cake resembles a mint green dress shirt with white collar and french cuffs, a split U cufflink and orange, green and white flowered tie.
The cake itself is chocolate-coconut flavored and filled with shredded coconut and vanilla buttercream for a Mounds bar effect. Mmmm.
There is also a custom “i <3 dad” label detail inside the collar.
A Beautiful Wedding
Monday, June 7th, 2010This weekend, I provided a cutting cake and mini cupcakes for a gorgeous wedding at the Garden Club.
The room was absolutely fantastic – deep purple orchids and candles, and gorgeous accents in orange and teal and green, all based around the vivid hues of peacocks.
Breathtaking.
Over 150 mini cupcakes in vanilla, chocolate and banana rum surround the cake stand.
The lights from the candles in the background.
The tail of the cake topper is absolutely beautiful.
One more close up.
Congratulations to M and her new husband! Wishing you both every happiness!
BBQ Beach Bash Cake
Monday, May 31st, 2010We celebrated Memorial Day with some great friends, and I was in charge of dessert.
My favorite thing to be in charge of, really.
I decided to play around with a beach theme, and created a delicious peach brandy cake with vanilla custard and fresh blueberry filling.
And then the fun began. Check out these sweet teddy grahams sunbathers and swimmers.
We have some itty bitty divers in itty bitty wetsuits…
Just splashing around…
And don’t forget Speedo Bear. He’s my favorite.
A yummy way to celebrate.
And probably one of my favorites to make.
A Birthday Carnival
Sunday, May 2nd, 2010Part of the fun of baking is getting to make the cakes for family birthdays.
It’s even more exciting when it’s for our son.
A’s second birthday was a carnival theme, complete with balloons, games and mini corn dogs.
I made a little 6″ carnival tent cake.
And lots and lots of cute vanilla and chocolate cupcakes to share.
Oh, and don’t forget a bunch of “2″ frosted cookies. My personal favorite!
Happy birthday to our little man! He had a wonderful day!
Valentine’s Day Candy Box Cake
Sunday, February 14th, 2010For your sweetheart.
A delicious dark chocolate cake in the shape of a candy box. Everything is edible (except the cupcake papers)
Complete with mini-cupcakes made to look like truffles & chocolates.
Roses not included.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
A Shower for Baby F
Saturday, December 12th, 2009I was so delighted to be invited to our dear friend K’s baby shower. She and her husband D will be expecting Baby F in just a few short months, and we are over the moon for them.
I was also thrilled to be called upon to make her shower cake. Two tiers, one chocolate, one vanilla, studded with butterdream polka dots and a replica of the fishies from Baby F’s super adorable bedding.
Congratulations, again, to two wonderful friends!
