Leila's order #2 - Mikey's cake



This is the second part of Leila's order.

Her boyfriend Mikey is the drummer for the band Shiny Toy Guns (seriously what's the deal with me and my closest friends marrying or dating drummers? is that just a thing we all do or what guys?), so she asked for a drum cake!

This was the first attempt at the drum cake - it's not the easiest cake we've ever done but it's certainly not the hardest.

Mikey is endorsed by ddrum's so we wanted to make the cake look like a snare he would play.

Rodney came in very handy with the details on this cake - since he happens to be a very talented drummer himself!

Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and fondant accents (the silver pieces). The logo is a white chocolate transfer!

Fun cake to make, I hope Mikey enjoys it!

Leila's order #1 - Kathy's cupcakes



This is order #1 for Leila. Her mom's and her boyfriend's birthdays fall within a day or two of one another. (and oddly both hers and my birthday are next week).

She wanted something pretty but sort-of retro for her mom, so I suggested this design that I've done a few times.

She requested something super chocolatey for her mom -- these are milk chocolate cupcakes filled with chocolate mousse topped with chocolate buttercream and fondant flowers.

I really love the look of these cupcakes!
