200th post! 1st birthday, Weekend wedding cake, bulldog cake

I can't believe this is my 200th post!

Here are a few cakes we did over the weekend, plus one we completed tonight.


1st birthday cake:

(strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant accents)



Two tiered wedding cake (this cake went to a reception that was at the Ballpark in Arlington, pretty cool!)

The bottom tier is vanilla chocolate chip and the top tier is strawberry.



This bulldog cake was made for a young boy's birthday! This was a special cake in that the customer has purchased expensive cakes in the past and been disappointed. We're hoping we can be the ones to make them happy! This cake is supposed to resemble one of the family's bulldogs, hopefully we did the dog justice!

This entire cake is real - the head is made from Rice Krispy Treats and the iPhone is fondant! We had a good time with this cake!

A little absent...

I can't believe how long it has been since I posted! We have been making cakes still, but we were out of town for a week and we found out that we are having twins and things have been crazy!

Here's a little of what we have been up to...

Our pastor's head, as interpreted by us. (for an auction at our church)



We've got some great cakes coming up soon, stay tuned!

iPhone, graduation cakes, cherry blossom wedding, groom's cake, hamburger cupcakes, shrek cake!

These were on the agenda this week! It's definitely been a crazy one!!











Wedding of the week:



The bottom tier is vanilla with strawberry buttercream, the second tier is vanilla with black raspberry buttercream, third tier is vanilla with whipped lemon buttercream and the top tier is fake!



The groom's cake is triple chocolate with amaretto buttercream filling, chocolate buttercream on the outside and chocolate covered strawberries.





These are vanilla cupcakes split in half, brownie "meat patties," fondant lettuce and cheese, royal icing mustard and ketchup!



Rodney did such a good job carving this Shrek face out - it was seriously scary having it in my house it was so realistic! All vanilla cake with fondant, RKT ears. Loved this one!

New Mod-Mom baby shower, 20th Anniversary Cake

This week we...

Sailboat

Don't know how I managed to forget this one. We also did this cake over the weekend! I told you guys I was tired!

Pre-K grad, end of year butterfly cupcakes, pink bridal shower, baseball bridal, and a 5 tiered wedding cake

Yes. This was the craziest week of our lives. I'm almost positive I am typing this in my sleep. Please excuse any grammar or punctuation erors. See, there was one just now. ERRORS.

I'd love to go into major detail about every cake but like I said, I am sleeping and this is all a dream. Short and sweet folks, short and sweet.

First up, pre-k graduation and end of the year cupcakes. This week was the end of preschool for the year and that meant it was time for all of the pre-kers to graduate. I made these same cupcakes last year so it wasn't terribly difficult to get these together.



I also made these butterfly cupcakes for Rylee's class. They were the "butterflies" this year and when I saw these in Hello Cupcake!, it made perfect sense!



This pink bridal shower cake was for a last minute order. Pretty simple request and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE using disco glitter! Glitter for everyone! (Red velvet with vanilla buttercream and marshmallow fondant)



Baseball Bridal

This cake was done for the shower of a couple whose wedding I am doing later this summer. They are baseball fans and her bridesmaid thought this cake would be a perfect fit! Rodney and I had a lot of fun with this one, I love how it turned out! (dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and milk chocolate icing. the cupcakes are dark chocolate with vanilla buttercream)



And last but not least, THE wedding cake.

This cake was a lot of fun to work on. I really thought we would have more problems with this cake but it all seemed to work out. The top two tiers are dummies, leaving the bottom three tiers real (vanilla/vanilla buttercream). Rodney did the fondant work on the cake (stripes and dots) and I made the bow and iced the entire thing. (ivory buttercream)

I am really pleased with the way it turned out. I wish we had turned the middle tier in just a little bit more but in the end, I think it was fine.











I covered that cake in disco glitter, I can't wait to see some of the professional pictures! Our friend, William was the dj and he put some spot lights on it as well. I am so excited to see how it looked all together!

It was literally the craziest week of our lives but we managed to survive! I am so proud of both Rodney and I, we hardly got any sleep but I think everyone who ordered a cake this week was happy!
