Bailey's Birthday Cake

I made a birthday cake for my sister-in-law, Bailey, and took it on our trip to Blue Ridge for the celebration. I didn't have much time to do something really creative, as I had to do another cake the same day. I decided to try the rosette cake (as seen by many on Pinterest). It was really easy and didn't take long at all. I made a salted caramel buttercream and I torted and filled the layers with homemade caramel sauce. It was super yummy!

Happy Birthday Stella!!

I had the honor of making little Miss Stella Jones' birthday cake. Pinwheels were the theme! I love it! My good friend, Jan (Stella's mom), taught me how to make pinwheels, so I thought I would try it with marshmallow fondant. I loved how it turned out. Happy birthday sweet little Stella. We love you!

Owl Cake

My friend Tiffany's little girl, Laine, turned 1 and had an owl themed birthday party. I LOVE the owl theme!! I attempted to create the owl from her invitation with modeling chocolate and marshmallow fondant. This is my first cake after a short break due to foot surgery. I am so happy to be baking again!

Happy Birthday Laine!

The invitation

Twin Cakes!

I did two cakes last weekend for a set of twins birthday party. It was very short notice so I couldn't get as creative as I would have liked. They turned out very cute though. They are pretty much the same as the Sadie cake, but a little different. The mother of the twins wrote me a very nice email saying that they were delicious and there was not one piece left!

Sadie's Birthday

After making my friend Jan's birthday cake, one of her friends, Lynley, ordered a 10 inch cake for her daughter's birthday. I was so happy to be able to do this one for her. She wanted bright pink and orange polka dots. I struggled over getting the fondant and buttercream dyed just the right shade of pink, but I finally got it. I think it turned out super cute. I did my first smash cake with this one so that Sadie could have her own little cake to dig in to. The polka dots are marshmallow fondant and the the rest is buttercream. Happy birthday Sadie!!

Amber's Going Away Cake

My friend Amber and her husband, Justin, are moving to Amsterdam for 2 years for an international rotation at work. We all got together to celebrate this exciting time for them and I did a very last minute cake for the party. It didn't turn out as creative as I wanted, but overall I was happy with it. By the way, that is the flag of the Netherlands. The party was super fun and there were only 2 pieces of cake left at the end! Good luck to the future ex-pats, Amber and Justin!

Jan's Birthday Cake

One of my closest friends, Jan, has a birthday in October and she loves all things Halloween, especially candy corn. I decided to do a candy corn birthday cake for her. It turned out super cute!! It is yellow cake and buttercream with marshmallow fondant cover, and of course, candy corn trim.
