A Shower for Baby F

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

I 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!

Happy Halloween!

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Around the holidays, I always fall a little behind in my uploading.

However, I wanted to share these adorable Halloween cupcakes. Orange colored chocolate chip cake frosted like jack-o-lanterns, or with vanilla and chocolate, edged in spooky non-pareils.

Check out the cute pumpkin cupcake papers. The perfect touch. These were a huge hit!

Happy First Birthday to C!

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

I really love making sweets for friends, and so I was more than delighted that B & M asked me to create a smash cake for their son’s first birthday party.

They had a nautical theme, and B requested the colors of light blue and red, with stripes. I found some inspiration pictures and put together this 8″ round of chocolate and vanilla layers with buttercream and fondant.

On display at the party, complete with anchor, another special request.

C, the birthday boy, loved it! Happy first birthday, buddy!

It the most wonderful time of the year! Are you ready for some football?

Check these out. They are moist, chewy, and perfect for your tailgate. Sweet cookies, crammed with dark chocolate chips, chopped cashews and shredded coconut. Serve them up with a cold shot of milk, and you’re ready for game day.
