Boston cream cupcakes


I had made these after watching a Martha Stewart show. These were wiped out at my home...2 at a time :)

Architect's birthday cake



A friend of mine asked me to make an architect cake. I was excited to do this one as it allowed me to play with fondant. This is my first sheet cake. It's not easy finding an idea for architect cakes. My friend sent me a sketch for the blueprint idea and I added the architect tools to it. I think it came out to be a nice overall cake design. I hope the Aquarians like it, although I must say they will get a kick out of my sketch of a building...LOL!!
The tools and blueprint are all fondant with gel paste writing, cake is chocolate espresso, center is raspberry swiss meringue buttercream and the covering is choclate flavored swiss meringue buttercream.

Baseball Birthday cake



I have had a baking few days, and loving every moment of it. This cake was made for my nephew who turned double digits (10yrs) and loves sports, esp. baseball! Its chocolate cake with american buttercream tinted to match the colors I needed.

Tiara cupcakes










Yahoo...another order for a birthday girl turning 3 (I think)! I was not given any theme on this order, so I had a lot of fun creating this look...the tiara and flower is royal icing, lavender buttercream with vanilla cake, with fondant cutout tiny flowers. I hope the birthday girl enjoyed these as much as I enjoyed making them.

cupcakes in a pot!




Another cupcake arrangement for a friends daughter!

Gumpaste flowers
















In August I took a gumpaste module class with Cake Craft Shoppe in Sugar Land, TX. What amazing stuff I learnt! The instructor, Sheila Brooks, taught us many different flowers. The class was fun, informative and I came out making and understanding how to make the flowers. The pictures show the creations I made.

Daisy and butterfly




This is a vanilla cupcake with buttercream frosting. The cutouts are fondant with edible lustre on the daisy. The cupcakes were for a girl's birthday.
