Beer and Girls (I think the guys will like this post!)

Bikini top cookies and a realistic beer bottle! Dragees are on each cookie for a little bling action. Printed edible sheet for the beer bottle. These were fun ones!

Ice cream cupcake

A fresh, easy idea for summer. Buttercream scooped with an ice cream scoop and put on a cupcake. Brown royal icing 'chocolate' drizzled on top with a fondant cherry. Yum!

Three Graduates and One Cake!

Three different graduates, three different colleges that they will attend and two different sports they were involved in! All that adds up to this cake! I haven't done that many human figures, so it was quite a learning experience for me. Next time I will definitely do them 1-2 weeks ahead of time. I was very happy to do the hair! I loved putting the ponytail on the little girl in the boat!

The mother of the coxswain was the one who ordered this cake. She was very excited to see the finished product. I think all the graduation cakes are done now, so now I am moving on to figure out how to make a sugar bottle of Red Stripe beer for a birthday coming up, should be interesting!

Guitars and Weddings...

This was a life size guitar made for a graduation. This family is very musical and quite eclectic, so it was fun to do this for them! I made the Whimsical Wedding Cake at the bottom of the blog for his brother's wedding last year, so now it was his turn for a great cake! I used gumpaste for the details, covered the chocolate cake in marshmallow fondant and brushed all over with luster dust. I now want to do another one!



This was a last minute cake that was done for a small wedding. I didn't have any idea of color or style, just that the bride wanted a white cake with spring flowers. I had seen a cake similar to this with a tiffany blue base and white pointed flowers. I wanted to do that style, so I just switched up the colors! When the bride's sister came to pick it up, I was told the colors matched perfectly to her bouquet, so I guess it was meant to be!

Busy Weekend

What does a teapot, dog, 50th birthday and graduation have in common? The Flour Shop!



It was my first time doing a teapot and I can't wait to do another. I actually used the same ball pan that I did with the ball of yarn so it came out to be a nice size. When it was put in the room where the tea party/bridal party was to be held, the colors went beautifully together!



The cupcakes were chocolate, half with peppermint frosting topped with white chocolate, and the other half with peanut butter frosting topped with dark chocolate. The chocolates were painted with luster dust for the silver and blue effects. The same client who had the graduating senior also had a baby shower the next day for her sister, hence the pink and purple flowery cake. That I never got to try that cake is depressing! It was a white cake with raspberry filling and cream cheese buttercream. I was told it was amazing!



The 50th cookies and the doggies were for a client's mom who was turning 50 this weekend. She loves purple and has little dogs, so that worked well.

Apple Cookies were for fun!

Kitty Cats and Yarn Cake

This cake was fun to do. I had seen a version of it on http://www.cakecentral.com and had always wanted to do it. I added another cat and changed the color of the yarn. It was a huge hit! If I were to do it again, I would get the pasta attachment for my mixer and use that to create the yarn. As it was, I rolled each piece of fondant by hand.
