The Claw

Saturday, January 15th, 2011

This weekend, my son’s little friend H celebrated her 3rd birthday.

The theme of the party? Toy Story. Who doesn’t love Toy Story?

Yeah, I don’t know either.

H’s mom wanted little alien cupcakes to tie in with the theme.

I’d be lying if I said these weren’t a blast and a half to make.

Don’t you just want to adopt them? Or eat them?

And seriously, ya’ll? How cute is this Sit-n-Spin for a display stand?

It was the hostess’ idea. It could not have been more perfect.

By the way? These little beauties are chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and fondant and M&M accents.

Claw not included.

Jack’s 1st Birthday!

Happy birthday, Jack!

Jack’s Mommy and Daddy wanted  a very special Surf Monkey birthday party for his special day. They asked me to do a surfboard vanilla cake in yellow and blue for Jack’s smash cake and I was happy to oblige.

It made a huge splash with Jack. He was more than happy to dig right in. :)

Mom & Dad also ordered some banana rum cupcakes with buttercream frosting to celebrate the actual birthday (tomorrow). I jazzed them up with yellow frosting swirls and a blue fondant dot, in keeping with the party theme.

We hope Jack had a fantastic day!

Berry & Merengue Cupcakes

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

This light and lowfat cupcake is the perfect treat for hot August days. A sweet, rustic merengue “cake” is stuffed with homemade strawberry and blueberry preserves, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and served to rave reviews. Out of this world!
