Especially when they bring beautiful cakes.

The birthday gal loves gardening, especially pink and purple flowers, and so I put together this delicious floral delight.

The cake is carrot, filled with yummy cream cheese frosting.

Fondant details include seed packets, terra cotta flower pots full of pink and purple blooms, and gardening gloves. There was even a little birdhouse. All was accented with buttercream grass and flowers.

Hope it was a wonderful birthday!

I was called upon to make some desserts for an office prior to holiday break.

Sweet and chewy coconut macaroons, gift-boxes and tucked into red tissue paper.

And red velvet cupcake, topped with swirls of heavenly cream cheese frosting.

There’s no better way to head into the winter break than with treats like these! Enjoy!
