First Commuinion


This cake was for a First Communion. Vanilla cake was filled with traditional vanilla buttercream and topped with rolled fondant. Accents were made using gum paste and fondant and a little edible pearl dust. This was for the same family who ordered the boy scout "arrow of light" cake. I love that I have returning families already!

Busy!


This cake was for a christening brunch. It was light and sweet. Vanilla cake was filled and covered with Swiss Buttercream meringue and the cross was made with fondant and gum paste. The pearl accents are sprinkles and the monogram was highlighted with edible pearl dust.

Georgia on my mind



This cake was for an avid Georgia Bulldogs fan. Made with vanilla cake and traditional buttercream icing, it was topped with rolled fondant. The accents were all done in fondant and the hedges were created using buttercream. After some reading, I discovered just HOW important the hedges are to the team and fans, and I was pleased with the outcome.

Cupcakes galore!


I have been making LOTS of cupcakes today. Since variety is the spice of life, I decided to follow it here too! These yummy guys are a mix of vanilla buttermilk or chocolate buttermilk cupcakes, iced with traditional, double chocolate or raspberry buttercream.

A very BIG birthday


Last week was my husband's grandfathers 85th birthday. A pretty big deal around here! His cake was vanilla buttercream filled with whipped chocolate ganache and iced in swiss buttercream meringue. It was pretty tasty, and I rarely get to eat my own creations!

Arrow of Light


This was a cake for a very special occasion. I didn't know much about scouting at first (my boys haven't gotten there yet) but I learned that the "Arrow of Light" is a pretty big deal that required not only a ceremony but a special cake! This was vanilla cake with traditional buttercream topped in rolled fondant.

Twice as nice



These adorable cakes were made for boy/girl twins for their first birthday. The boys cake was traditional yellow filled with traditional buttercream. The girls cake was double chocolate filled with chocolate buttercream. And both were topped with rolled fondant with fondant accents. Both had matching smash cakes, made with traditional yellow and topped with traditional buttercream which they will hopefully put to good use!
