Circle cake


Another cake donated for a work fundraiser.
Chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream filling.
I love the look of the simple & colorful circles.

Mini cupcakes!!

To try out some new cupcake and icing flavors, i hosted a Norwex/Cupcake tasting party.
I invited some family and friends and got some great feed back from everyone. I will be offering some of these flavors to clients. I came up with 9 different flavors to test out:

1. Carrot cake with cream cheese icing
2. Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream icing
3. Extra Vanilla delight - Vanilla cupcakes with a vanilla pudding center topped with vanilla buttercream icing
4. Chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream icing
5. Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream
6. Red velvet
7. Chocolate cake with mint buttercream
8. Vanilla cake with raspberry buttercream
9. Chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream

The two favorites were the chocolate cake with mint buttercream and chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream (my fav!!)








Cherry Blossom Tree Cake



This is a cake i've been wanting to make for a while and i was super excited to make it and so happy with the way it turned out :) I was lucky to have the opportunity to make it for a cake walk fundraiser at my work place.

Green Cedar Cake



A three tier wedding cake consisting of a chocolate cake filled with vanilla buttercream, vanilla cake with raspberry buttercream & a chocolate cake filled with strawberry buttercream.

I was so excited when I envisioned this wood cake stand/board. I got one made, and I think it ties the cedar on the cake and the green satin ribbon together beautifully.

Congratulations to the newlywed's! :)

P.S - i didn't notice how off the green ribbon was until i was putting it in the car. It was fixed for the wedding :)
