Weekend Cakes

I love when cakes go according to plan. This weekend was free of any sugar battles. Let's hope the rest of the month goes as well.

I had the honor of making this really cute Mickey cake for DaMari who is the nephew of one of my best friends. This design was inspired by on of my flickr friends creativecupcakes.



Sunday October 4 was my oldest son's birthday. Darius has been a huge Toy Story fan since he was 1. He was Buzz Lightyear for Halloween 2 years in a row. He wore the costumes until they literally fell apart. So needless to say he was super excited when he found out the double feature was coming to theaters in 3D the just in time for his 9th birthday. Here is his birthday cake.

Now there was no way I was going to attempt sculpting these characters myself so I purchased a figurine set. The "wood" floor is made of fondant and is totally my favorite part of the cake. It looked totally real. I used the technique from Confetti Cakes For Kids which is one of my favorite design books (I love the work of Elisa Strauss).

Black and White Cupcake Tower

I created this for a black and white 50th birthday party. The flowers toppers were inspired by a fellow flickr friend o'holysweet. I must say hers are much more stunning than mine :)


I also created white flowers for the Triple Chocolate cupcakes.

And here is the assembled tower. Not the best pic but you get the idea.

I had a couple cupcakes left over and decided to try my hand at fondant cover cupcakes. I love the end result! The letters on these were created using Tappits. I have them in a few different fonts and they are a lifesaver for me because my own writing is terrible! The upper and lower case Script sets were used for these particular cupcakes. I also have the Funky Alphabet set and the Standard Alphabet set.

Fall Booties

Hello everyone!! I haven't abandoned my blog. I've just been super busy and extremely distracted.


Anywho...... I'm back!! Lately I've gotten tons of emails from sites like Bluefly.com and a catalog from one of my favorite stores Von Maur. They're filled with tons of the hottest items for fall. The one thing that stood out to me the most were booties a.k.a shooties. Since I can't afford to buy all the real ones I want I created some in cookie form.


They are NFSC covered in fondant.


Here is the black cookie packaged and tied with this great damask ribbon I found at Michaels.

And here is the silver ruffle one (my fave!)

More Pink and Purple Cuteness

So Tink wans't my only girlie creation of the day. I also did this Abby Cadabby cake for Keniya....

and this pink and purple cupcake tower for Ms. Maya who is one her way to WIU. Congrats Maya!!

Giant Tinkerbell Cupcake

I told you all this is my most popular cake. People are just fascinated by the Giant Cupcake. This one was created for Arielle who turned 9. The #9, leaves and flowers are fondant and gumpaste. The liner is chocolate and Tinkerbell is a toy topper.
