Boy, Oh Boy!

A college friend of mine contacted me to help make the treats for a shower she was helping host.  She sent over the invite and said the theme was just baby boy and the colors were navy, green, white and hints of burlap.  I love those colors!

She only wanted cupcakes and cookies and not a cake so I made some cute baby-themed cupcake toppers and simple baby cookies.  The cookies were going to be favors, so I packaged them up for guests to grab on their way out.

All packaged up with custom tags!

Don't you love the liners?  I've been searching for true navy liners for a while.  I finally found some and they were perfect for red velvet cupcakes.  The vanilla did much better in the green polka dot liners.

The cupcakes were red velvet with cream cheese and vanilla with buttercream.

Thanks for the order Jessica and I hope everyone loved the treats at the shower!

Bump in the road but I'm back!

Well Hello!  It's been a while.

My family and I decided to move at the beginning of the year and I'm just now getting back into the swing of things.  I've missed documenting so many orders and wonderful celebrations.  I apologize to all my past two month customers that don't get their own dedicated post, but this is the best I can do right now. :)  I even missed a few orders because the camera was still in a box when the order was finished.  Hopefully some pictures were taken and I can get those to share with you!

Here are the birthday cakes:

I did a Charlie Brown birthday cake for a returning customer, Katie M

A cute Sock Monkey themed order- smash cake and cupcakes for little Landry!

A customer favorite, I did this cake again for a very sweet little girl who was also my old neighbor!

Her mom was doing a chalkboard theme, with her monogram, and a blush pink color for the accents.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the chalkboard cookies.  It was a first for me and I think they turned out so cute!

She also ordered some miniature cupcakes for the little guests at the party

And this was Vivian's smash cake

And the baby shower cake I have photos for:

It was an light grey & pink shower with elephants.  The grey fondant kinda showed up blue in some lights but it was light grey when I mixed it!

The coordinating cookies for guests to take home

I love the monogrammed cookies with polka dots.  I found something similar on Pinterest and I could resist!

Again, hopefully I can get a few photos of the cakes I didn't post because I would love to have them for me and share them with you!

Baby Crosby

Another cute baby shower cake to share!

Ashley, one of the shower hostesses sent over this adorable baby shower invitation and then said to do whatever!  I love those orders! :)  She has ordered from me in the past so she had full confidence that I could come up with something that she would like. (Thanks Ashley!)

I had so much fun with this cake.  I was able to try out a new technique and I got to make bow-tie onesies!

 The top and bottom layers are both iced in buttercream.  The dark navy chevron is actually modeling chocolate, and the onesies are white fondant.  The bowties are made out of sugar as well. 

The bunting banner was really cute.  I loved the paper I found as well as his name. 

Thanks for the order Ashley!  I hope you loved it as much as I do!

Back from Holiday!

I've been really enjoying my time off work.  I haven't been doing anything- no emails, no photos, no baking (except for personal consumption), and no cleaning TONS of dishes from baking!  It's been so nice.

I left on my holiday break without posting all of my orders from the end of November and December though.  So here's to a little catch-up!

First up, is a very small, yet very adorable, baby shower cake for an old college friend of my husband.

It's iced in buttercream with a small, white fondant onesie on top.  Simple and cute!

Thanks for the order Kim!

The same weekend, I had an order for a first birthday for a little girl.  The mom saw this post from my blog and really loved the cake.  So, she wanted me to recreate that with a little tweaking and then make a smash cake for her daughter.  Here they are:

I think this is the third cake I've done like this and I still love it.  I love this version of it too.  The added aqua works really well with it. 

Happy 1st Birthday sweet Adeline!

Office Baby Shower

Another former college roommate of mine was helping host a baby shower for a co-worker.  The shower was going to be at lunch time and have both males and females present.  The mom-to-be didn't really like a lot of pink, so I was given the task of creating a treat to match the plates & napkins, as well as not making it too girly and cutesy.  Talk about a task!

Just kidding.  My friend sent me a text of the plates and realized this order was going to be easy (& cute!).

So this is what I came up with:

These are the cookies.  I ended up packaging them up because she wanted to give them out as favors.

And these are the cupcakes.  Four boxes worth!  The picture quality isn't fantastic because it was late at night and taken with my phone, but it'll do. :)

Thanks for the order Caitlin!  I hope the shower went well!
