Hoppy Easter!

Weee would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter and a safe holiday weekend!

3D Bunny cake - french vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream.



Owls are trendy again....

I had a request for a cupcake pull apart cake (for a baby shower) in the shape of an owl and was given a copy of Disney Family Fun Magazine (www.disneyfun.com) as a reference on how she wanted the cake to look. I borrowed a brown serving tray with a fall leaf motif and bought a scrap book cut out of a nest with eggs at a local craft mall. 18 french vanilla cupcakes and a batch of vanilla butter cream later - here is the end result:

All in all I'm please with the way it turned out. I'm not a huge fan of owls but I have to admit their huge eyes catch my attention and I can't take my eyes off of them. Now I'm off to ice an Easter rabbit cake - pictures to follow soon!



For your favorite fisherman....

Dark chocolate fudge cake with peanut butter butter cream filling and iced in whipped frosting with gummy fish accents. (Client isn't a huge sweets fan so I was going for something not too sweet but still tastey.) Thanks for looking!

Feeling a little groovey ~~~~

My first three tiered cake (and yes, I know it is leaning) - top two tiers are french vanilla and the bottom tier is milk chocolate all covered in vanilla butter cream with fondant accents.

On the middle layer I was going for a blue/purple tie die effect (which doesn't show up well in the picture) - it looks a little more like a blue/purple streaky effect.



I am utterly scared to deliver this cake today -even though it has supports running through out I didn't run a support from the top of the cake all the way to the bottom (hoping I don't end up regretting this)! Wish me luck and I hope the birthday girl enjoys it.

Something different

I had a last minute request for a cake that looked like a square purse. The requester wanted the color to be yellow and there to be pink flowers scattered over it. Here is the end result -

Vintage purse cake - french vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream and fondant flowers.

So I drew inspiration from purses I have seen in vintage stores - the beaded handles always seemed to lay just askew, the big bead clasps that held it shut, and the strangely scattered patterns. I'm hoping the customer will be pleased and have a similar memory of these type of purses as I do.

UPDATE:

So one of my biggest critics (aka my mom) told me that she just didn't see the purse in the cake (sigh). So I am back with a few more pictures of the final product that hopefully make this cake a little more understandable.

In this picture I would like to point out all the pretty flowers scattered over the board and also the rolo candy feet I added to the purse.

And here is a side view. I love the flower cut outs (provided to me by a Stampin Up dealer who is a friend - her link will be added as soon as I figure out how to do so). I didn't realize my rolling tape dispenser thing was broke until the last minute so I glued down all the paper cut outs with icing and even added icing dots to the small flowers. I'm praying that the grease in the frosting won't seperate and leave a grease mark on the paper - Stampin Up paper is some really quality paper and I've been impressed so far. Anyway, I hope these pictures made the cake look a little more like a purse in my critics eyes (love you mom!). As always, thank you for looking and have a sweet day!

Smooches,
Weee



Anniversary cake

White on white anniversary cake - french vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream.



Funeral cupcakes

Instead of sending flowers, soda, shave meats, or a vegetable tray - why not send cupcakes to the bereaved family? Well, this person did.

Funeral cupcakes - black and white swirl liners hold these french vanilla cupcakes topped with vanilla butter cream, white dragees, and pastel sugar butterflies.

Not only tasteful but tastee!
