Fuschia Scrolls Wedding
Large cakes were to have fresh tulips on top, but when I went to set she informed me she didn't have any left over for the cakes, so this is how they ended up. I found out the hard way that it is next to impossible to mix fuschia color and had to make an unplanned trip to purchase americolor fuschia. And even though I called ahead and was told yes the store had it in stock, I arrived to find out that they did not. Luckily another store close by did! After all that though I was still pleased with the results, this was my biggest wedding so far. I also did the groom's cake.

A Day In Paradise
This was designed to match the plates given to me. The theme of them was called A Day In Paradise. Cakes are covered in fondant and hand painted. This was my first attempt at painting. I am not an artist by any means, but I was very pleased with this since I did it all free-hand. TFL!

Star Wars Cookies
These were inspired by 'cookieswithdots' here on CC. I used the Williams-Sonoma cutters (which I fell in love with) and tried rolled marshmallow buttercream for the first time (which I also fell in love with). I've typically used royal icing for cookies, but these have so much detail I didn't want to be piping for days. I piped on Darth Vader with royal icing to give it some definition. These were a huge hit with my Star Wars fans! TFL!

Pink Daisy Horses
Made this for a little girl's birthday. She wanted horses but I wanted it to be slightly sophisticated. I got this idea from a couple of cakes here on CC. Cake is WASC with buttercream, milk chocolate horses, silk daisies. This was one of the easiest cakes I've ever done, so simple but I love the way it turned out!

Airplane Adventure 1St Birthday
WASC cake with bavarian cream, buttercream frosting with fondant pieces. The planes were handmade to match the birthday plates and decor. The smash cake got an early smash from the big sister, so it had to be altered slightly at the customer's house; it now has a cloud by the star! Letters and numbers were cut from my cricut cake. TFL.
