Snow White Cake & Cupcakes

My friend's daughter turned 3 & had a Snow White themed birthday party. There was a face painter, balloon artist, a bouncer for the kids, & Snow White herself. They ordered a red velvet cake & cupcakes with cream cheese as well as vanilla cupcakes for the party. It was fun!

Lakers Jersey Cake

My godson, Riley, turned 6 this week & for his Lakers themed birthday party, I was asked to make him a Lakers jersey cake. It's an 11x15 cake. One layer of chocolate cake, the other layer yellow cake filled with a delicious chocolate & Heath toffee filling! It was a big hit! Go Lakers!

Happy 6th Birthday, Riley!

Lemon Golf Cake

My uncle in law is a big golfer & for his 4_th birthday, I made him a 2 layer lemon cake filled and frosted with lemon frosting. I decorated it with green chocolate candies & candy melts shaped to look like grass, as well as with a golfer figurine.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE JOJO!

Disney Princess Birthday Party

My little girl is finally 3 years old! She had been asking for a princess party with a castle & lots of pink since December! Of course I had to make her dream come true! Here are some photos of the party, decorations, centerpieces, guests, & of course the CAKE & CUPCAKES!

The birthday girl & the cake:
I made a 2 layer red velvet cake with cream cheese covered in marshmallow fondant & decorated with a tiara & jewels. I also made chocolate strawberry cupcakes (per request of the birthday girl). Some cupcakes were topped with pink cream cheese frosting & chocolate candy tiara molds & some with edible white pearls. The other cupcakes spelled out "HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY PRINCESS CHLOE" in marshmallow fondant.

Buko Pandan Cupcakes

My cousin Nikole turned 19 & requested a Filipino dessert turned cupcake!  She wanted a buko pandan cupcake, which is coconut & pandan leaves (somewhat a banana flavor).  I decided to make the cupcakes using coconut milk & pandan extract then filled them with macapuno (shredded sweetened coconut in a syrup).  I made butter cream frosting flavored with coconut milk & a hint of the pandan extract.  I topped each frosted Filipino treat with some more macapuno.  It was a big hit, especially with all the Filipino aunts & the birthday girl!

Here she is holding a cupcake up!



Spiderman Cake

One of our close friends' son is turning 2! He loves Spiderman and I surprised him & his parents with a small chocolate cake filled with chocolate filling and of course chocolate chips. I covered the cake in homemade marshmallow fondant colored blue, red, & white for his eyes. The writing around the cake is also marshmallow fondant. Happy Birthday, Logan!

Strawberry & Chocolate Cupcakes

One of my best friends had her birthday this past week. She loves Sprinkles Cupcakes Strawberry Frosting, & chocolate cake, so I decided to surprise her with my own spin on her favorite. I made a Strawberry butter cream with fresh strawberries & topped them over a chocolate cupcake. I made homemade marshmallow fondant to top it off to resemble the Sprinkles cupcake, but personalized it with the birthday girl's first initial! Happy Birthday Kristi!

Christmas Tree cupcakes

My husband has a potluck party tonight to celebrate the last day of one of his night classes. He asked me to make red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting & told me to be creative on decoration. Since Christmas is in a few weeks, I tried out some Christmas Tree designs that I've been thinking about.

Half I made look like white snow topped mountains with edible Christmas trees on top. I found these at my local Michael's Arts & Crafts store. They are suppose to taste like green apple, but tasted more like the "bread" you take at church.

The other half I dyed the cream cheese frosting green & decorated them with sprinkles to look like ornaments and marshmallow fondant stars on top of the tree!


Merry Christmas & congrats to my husband for finishing his semester!

Puppy Birthday Cake

My friend from church asked me to make her daughter's 2nd birthday cake! The party was held at Bounce U a fun place for the kids to jump around and get their energy out before nap time! Haha! Anyhoo, the party was themed around puppies since the Birthday Girl adores dogs!

I did a 4 inch white cake filled with fresh strawberries layered in between a marscapone cheese whipping cream as the filling! It was the first time I tried adding fresh fruit to my cake & it was a big hit! I covered the cake with marshmallow fondant!

Pink Birthday Cupcake

I tried making a vegan cupcake today for my cousin in law's 20th birthday. I used applesauce instead of eggs, milk, & oil. It turned out moist & still delicious! It was a single JUMBO cupcake with vanilla frosting, edible pearls, & personalized with her name, Demi, in pink white chocolate.

Thanksgiving Turkey Cupcakes

Chocolate cupcake with cream cheese frosting topped with an edible "turkey." The turkey is made of milk & white chocolate & Hershey's chocolate kisses.




These were chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting!

I am so thankful to be blessed with the time, energy, & love to bake goodies which make people happy! I am also thankful to have a supportive & loving family who allow me to do something I love!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Every good and perfect gift comes from above...including CUPCAKES! =D

Pink & Orange Girl Baby Shower

I threw a surprise baby shower for a friend who's expecting a Baby Girl!
I made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting topped with pink & orange edible onesies!

(Sorry the photo turned out bad)


Here are the guests & Mommy to be posing with the cupcakes!


For favors & name cards, I dipped marshmallows in white chocolate, then sprinkled pink & orange sprinkles over them. They stood in colored MnMs in a mini shot glass with a clothespin as the name tag.


I made a mini diaper cake centerpiece topped with pink & orange daisies!


Pink & brown onesies were used as decorations!
She was surprised & very happy! It was so much fun to throw it! Congrats, Conny!

Phineas & Ferb Cake

My nephew was turning ONE & his parents asked me to make his very 1st birthday cake! He wanted chocolate cupcakes & I topped them with cream cheese frosting that I colored blue. I made cutouts of the Disney show characters out of marshmallow fondant and put them together like a puzzle! I also made the writing on the cake "Happy 1st Birthday ETHAN" out of marshmallow fondant.


The birthday boy's parents bought the Phineas & Ferb toy characters to place on top of the cake in case I wasn't able to do a Phineas & Ferb cake, but I think I did a pretty good job.


The birthday boy, his parents, & his older sister!

Boy Baby Shower cupcakes

A friend from my church was throwing a baby shower for a friend & asked me to make over a dozen cupcakes for the party. Theme was blue & green. I decided to surround the cupcakes this time with a personalized wrapper & marshmallows to give the presentation a softer appeal.

I made chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting & topped them with homemade marshmallow fondant decorations of onesies. Everyone enjoyed them!

A happy customer!

Spiderman Inspired Cake

My little cousin turned 4 years old & wanted a Spiderman cake. I made about 2 dozen chocolate cupcakes and 2 dozen white cupcakes colored blue. I used red and white marshmallow fondant for Spiderman himself.

I used the extra cupcakes that wouldn't fit on the cake board to serve with personalized cupcake toppers. The kids loved the blue cream cheese frosting over all the cupcakes!

Alice in Wonderland Inspired Cupcakes

I was crazy, but excited to take on 3 cake orders in the span of a 3 day period.

Here's my second cake for the Halloween weekend.

I had an order from my uncle-in-law's wife to make a pull apart cake of about 50 cupcakes based on the "Mad Hatter" theme from Alice in Wonderland for her granddaughter's 8th birthday. I decided to stick to the "Alice in Wonderland" theme. The individual cupcakes are covered in marshmallow fondant and the pull apart cake is covered in cream cheese frosting colored green to represent grass. The red roses, clock, hearts and queen's crown are all made of marshmallow fondant.

I did make a jumbo chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting with a "Mad Hatter's hat" made of marshmallow fondant on top for the birthday girl!


Close ups...


This cake was a litte stressful to make because of all the fondant details, but it was totally fun & I can't wait to do it again for you!
