Baseball Cookies

It’s that time of year again for the end of season parties for baseball. These were specially made for my son’s t-ball team. Royal icing tops these super buttery sugar cookies with a fondant baseball.

Aren’t they cute all packaged up?

Hot Pink Graduation Cake

Cheryl is one of my best clients, and when her family planned her surprise graduation party they found me to make her cake! It was so great to be able to make a cake for someone who is always ordering them for other people. I designed this cake with her personality in mind and I used her favorite colors. Congrats girl on on your accomplishments!

KISS Cake with Gene Simmons Character

Shannon — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 01:20:10 +0000

When my client ordered this cake I was so excited! I knew it was going to be challenging, but my most challenging ones are always my favorite. When I finished this one I just stood back in complete awe of my ability to make this character on my first try. He is made out of gumpaste and fondant and sculpted and painted by hand. I wish I could just keep him on a shelf in my office, but I think the birthday boy would have been sad if I took him back. Happy 6th Birthday Aiden!

UPDATE: My cake was featured today on KISS’ website! Woot! Holla!

Two Peas in a Pod Twin Baby Shower Cake

My daughter has the sweetest Kindergarten teacher and she is expecting twin girls, so when the class was going to throw her a baby shower and asked me to make her cake I couldn’t refuse! I made a bunch of vanilla cupcakes and a six inch cake for her to take home.

Pink Bird Cupcakes and Cookies

I made these for a baby shower that was thrown by a good friend of mine. She knew exactly what she wanted so we designed them together.

Rock Climbing Cake

This cake was made for Corbin using his invitation as inspiration. His favorite color is green so we added it into the mix. His mom wanted a small cake with cupcakes. I love doubling up the cupcake wrapper to add more colors. Happy Birthday Corbin!

The Littlest Pet Shop Cake

Shannon — Mon, 10 May 2010 17:45:10 +0000

My baby girl turned seven and the only thing she wanted was a littlest pet shop cake. I had her show me her two favorite animals from her vast collection and I used them to make these two littlest pet shop characters out of gumpaste. She was so excited and her party was a bast. I just can’t believe she is seven already!
