Fore!

All buttercream.

Winter Wonderland

Bridal shower cake for a Winter Wonderland themed wedding. Chocolate WASC cake filled with dark chocolate ganache and topped with MMF. The wedding colors are red and silver, so I added a little silver glitter to the brushed snowflakes.

Rose Water Cupcake

Cupcake made with rose water for a floral smell and taste.

Marbled Lavender Cupcake

The music director of "She Loves Me" at a local university asked me to make cupcakes for the cast and crew for the first read-through. The play takes place in a parfumerie in Budapest in the 1930's. His only request was that the cupcakes be made with lavender and/or rose water. This is a lavender cupcake with a honey buttercream. You can see the process I went through to make this at thekitchendunce.blogspot.com.

Dark chocolate cakes filled with chocolate fudge icing and topped with vanilla buttercream with a candy music things. I made these for university choir directors after a scholarship concert. The university colors are purple and gold ... I wish I would have used gold liners.

Candy Bar Cupcakes

Sweetheart Cake

This was my first competition cake. I entered it in the local Fall Festival cake decorating contest. It's a WASC cake with vanilla bc roses. I lost to a fondant covered camouflage cake with a tank on top. It's a small town...what can I say?

Lego Cake

I made this for my son's 12th birthday. The yellow block is lemon filled and covered with lemon buttercream icing, the red block is red velvet filled and covered in vanilla cream cheese icing, and the blue block is vanilla (tinted blue) filled and covered in vanilla buttercream icing. Quote from Jared: "This is the coolest cake I've ever had!"

Hydrangea Cupcakes

What to do with extra cupcakes and icing ... Hydrangeas! This was my first time making these. The coloring is funny in the picture ... they are actually blue and lavender.

Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes

Chocolate cupcake filled and iced with peanut butter buttercream and topped with a mini Reese's peanut butter cup. Yum!

Lab Coat

Cake and cupcakes for a bioengineer who just earned his PhD. He works with mice, but his mom thought that rodents would be gross. I couldn't help myself though, and put one little cute mouse hiding in the pocket. The cake is has buttercream icing with fondant decorations. The science decorations on the cupcakes are RI. TFL

Chocolate/peanut Butter Cupcakes

Peanut butter buttercream filled chocolate cupcakes. This was my first attempt at filling cupcakes. These are my two favorite flavors ... and these taste heavenly!

Birthday Cupcakes

I made these for my son's birthday treats at school. Red velvet cupcakes with indydebi's bc icing. My son added the red sprinkles to make them look festive. The kids loved them!

Deathly Hallows Cake

Harry Potter has been a part of our lives for many years now (my boys are now in 7th and 9th grade), so I took my boys to see the new movie on opening day. I had some extra batter and icing from some cupcakes that I had done, so I made this little cake when we got home. The Deathly Hallows symbol took some math to get right, but lucky for me, in my day job I'm a geometry teacher. It's nothing special, but the boys loved that I made a cake just for them.

Farm Animal Cupcakes

These are for a baby shower with a farm animal theme. The cupcakes are French Vanilla WASC with buttercream icing and fondant animals. TFL

Brushed Embroidery

I made this cake just to try some new things. This was my first time making a WASC cake and my first time trying brushed embroidery. I used the original WASC recipe with a vanilla cake mix. Everything is vanilla buttercream. This is actually the smoothest my buttercream has ever looked. Overall, I'm happy with the way this turned out. Now my family gets to eat it.

Scooby Doo / Flower Power

I made this cake for my friend's daughter's 4th birthday. The top is chocolate filled with chocolate fudge buttercream. The bottom is vanilla tie-dye filled with vanilla buttercream. It's all covered in tie-dyed MMF. The Scooby on top is a candle. The second picture is the test cake I did for the tie-dye (I didn't get any pictures of the inside of the "real" cake). The cake was a big hit at the party. I tried to use all Scooby colors ... grean, teal, orange, and yellow ... for both inside and outside the cake.

Lemon Carnations

Lemon cupcakes with lemon flavored buttercream icing.

Book Cupcakes

Chocolate cupcakes for a group of hard working teachers. The "books" are Fig Newtons. Thanks to RoseArcadia for the great idea!
