A Flower Cake for Barbara

9″ 3 layer yellow cake with vanilla buttercream, buttercream flowers.

Flower Basket Birthday Cake

When my friend Diana asked me to do this birthday cake her request was “lots of flowers”. She loves my flowers. I think I fulfilled that request, don’t you?? 🙂

I covered the top of the 12″ 2 layer yellow butter cake with butter cream flowers, roses, mums, daisies, and some I don’t have a name for, using lots of colors. On the sides I piped a basket weave design. The cake was filled with raspberry butter cream and iced in almond butter cream.

Colorful Cupcakes

Cupcakes for Easter. Two flavors, yellow butter and chocolate with almond buttercream frosting. All the flowers are buttercream.

Sugar Flowers

As you can see this is how I spent my Wednesday afternoon. I’m getting ready for Easter. I have sheet cakes and cupcakes to do and they need lots of flowers. I like to make a rainbow of colors and types of  flowers. They are buttercream so I let them air dry till I can pick them up and place where I want them on the cakes/cupcakes. I’ll post the cakes later.                                                                   

           Have a Happy Easter !!!

Pink Roses for Karsyn Ann

My first cake for 2011.

What a nice way to start the new year, creating a cake for a baby girls baptism. The cake flavor was a family favorite, classic butter with raspberry buttercream filling and almond frosting. The flowers were buttercream and the cross is made using white chocolate. Monogram and numbers are fondant. Size: 2-10″ rounds.

A Cheshire Cat

 

This was a fun cake to do, especially since i do love cats. The birthday girl was going to see Alice in Wonderland (the movie) as part of her birthday party, so i thought a cat on her cake was purrfect. The cake was yellow  with vanilla butter cream frosting, the cat & stars were cut from fondant, the flowers are butter cream.

Baby Cakes

Just a sample of the 30 cupcakes made for a baby shower.  They were all one flavor, classic yellow butter cake with vanilla butter cream frosting. They had different frosting designs, rattlers, booties & flowers in soft pastel colors.

Flower Cupcakes

I love doing the flower cupcakes, they look like a “garden in a box”. Great for any party. They are now showing up as an alternative to the wedding cake. Placed on a cupcake tiered stand they make a beautiful statement and are easy to serve but despite there size they are not usually any cheaper than ordering a tiered wedding cake.

Just a few of the sugar flowers I make for my cakes.
