Tutu Cute!

Sutton is turning TWO and she is TUTU cute!  Cute theme.  Cute little girl.  It all works. :)

Sutton is our sweet little neighbor who had a birthday last weekend.  Her mom picked out an adorable (and perfectly fitting) theme for her party and asked me to help with the desserts.  She showed me a few ideas she liked online, and then I just ran with it.

I knew she was making tutus for the girls and bowties for the boys to wear at the party.  So this is what I came up with; cupcake stand and all!

We had bowtie butter cookies, and a varying assortment of tutu cupcakes!

I just love these.

Pink, purple, and a little more pink pretty much sums up the order. 

Happy Birthday Sutton!  We had so much fun celebrating YOU!

Baby Shower for Baby Kate

Y'all, I might have a new favorite.

Last weekend, my friend had her baby shower and I got to make the cake!  I love doing orders for people I know.  Knowing them helps me tailor the cake design to something I know they will like.  But for this order, a friend of hers picked out the design.  And I'm so glad she did because she found a really cool cake idea online.

Here's what she picked:

So cool right?!

We changed a few of the colors to coordinate better with the shower, and I came up with some new button designs using molds I already had.  

Here it is:

I love all the different buttons cascading down the side of the cake.  It's too cute!

I added some shimmer to the bottom layer to add a bit of gold to the fondant.  I also used edible gold shimmer dust on some of the buttons to make them look like gold.

I think the best photo is the one I caught all set up at the shower. 

Happy Baby Shower Baby Kate!  We can't wait to meet you!

Pink, Sparkly, Glittery Cupcakes

I have become extremely busy overnight with orders!  I'm so grateful to all the people who keep spreading my name.  Word-of-mouth advertising is the best and it's working!!

One of the most recent orders was through a friend of a friend of a friend (see word-of-mouth IS working!) and she wanted pink, sparkly, glittery cupcakes for her daughter's first birthday.  If that wasn't girly enough, she also mentioned her daughter wore pearls in her first birthday photo shoot.  So, the order was really for pink, sparkly, glittery, and pearly cupcakes. :)  How fun is that?!?

I knew this would be a very fun order.

Ta-Da!!!

Pink. Sparkles. Glitter. Pearls.  I think we got that covered. :)

Happy First Birthday Kathryn!!

Burlap, Ruffles, and Bunting Banners

I'm going to let the pictures do the talking here.  This was, by far, one of my most favorite cakes I've done.  It's so sweet and classy, yet trendy at the same time!

I also made some cookies to go with the cake for the wedding shower.

Not the best picture quality, but oh well.

LOVE these.  I should probably make a few extra for me. :)

All packaged up and ready to go!

Congratulations Kim!  I hope you have a beautiful wedding and an even better marriage.

Lovely Butterflies

Our sweet little neighbor, Elisabeth, celebrated her 2nd birthday last week and she wanted butterfly cookies!  Her mom found some awesome cookies on the web and I tried to recreate.  This was a first for me, and a bit of a challenge, but I loved how they turned out!  My favorite design is the dark navy-purplish blue with black and orange.

Happy Birthday Elisabeth!
