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!

This week

I'm totally drained but I wanted to get the pictures from the week/weekend up before we head to bed!

Here chicky-chicky

These little chicks (cupcake pops) were made for school - they came out SUPER cute. Bakerella, you are the most creative! I'm so grateful I was able to make these:)



Conner

These were made for little Conner's first birthday! If you recall, I did a small cake for a 1st birthday photo shoot Conner had a few weeks back. These goodies were made for his actual party!





I also did some animal cupcakes for the party as well - but I only managed to get a picture of the monkey's. :(



Lastly, I celebrated my 28th birthday this Saturday. Yes, I made my cake. Sadly, in all the craziness of cake baking/decorating, 3 Easter Egg hunts/celebrations, my birthday dinner & party ... I somehow forgot to take pictures of my cake :(

I did get one picture with my iPhone but it wasn't finished. Sigh. Here it is anyway. Imagine a few more tiny branches, flowers on the cake board, and white hydrangeas sitting on top.

Hopefully I'll be able to get a more detailed post up soon!

Liberty's 1st Birthday

These cakes were made for some very good friend's of ours, for their daughter's first birthday! Mommy Marissa pretty much gave me creative freedom with these only asking to match the invitation print as best we could. This cake is especially special to me because I also made the cake for shower thrown to welcome Liberty! I'm pleased with the results but their are definitely some changes that I would make in hindsight.

The main cake is a 1/4 sheet vanilla iced in buttercream with fondant and buttercream accents. I love how the cake turned out but I'm not sold on the paper I chose for the board. I think the two different blues are a little too much. After thinking and thinking about how I wanted to add the "swirly" design, I finally decided to carefully brush some brilliant silver luster dust in different patterns on the buttercream. I'm very pleased with the results.

The Smash Cake

This is also a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream. It's a 5 inch cake, the "1" on top is fondant that I painted with teal luster dust. Love the colors on this one!

Liberty is such a cutie and it was a ton of fun watching her dive into her cake! Happy Birthday Liberty!
