Chocolate Ornamint Cupcakes

Chocolate orna"mint" (ornament) cupcakes by Janelle Weeden are the hit of the Christmas party! Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas!

Rah Rah, Siss Boom Bah! Here's to the Cheerleaders!

These cakes were for two girls and their combined birthday parties. One was a cheerleader for West Orange High School and the other is a ballet dancer.

This was my first time using pre-made fondant, the Fondarrific brand. The different colors were different flavors. After getting use to the texture and consistency, which took me some time, it was great to work with. It tasted like candy, the blue was berry, orange was orange, white was buttercream, red(ish) was cherry and the pink was tutti-frutti! YUM!

Hhhmmm, haven't posted lately!

So I've been doing a lot of work and have not posted pics except on FB. So here are a few to wet your appetite! Literally!

Batman had rice crispy treat arms! Never used them before, but thought I would try it for the first time. He ended up being a cutie! He had a cape on the back. I realized after the fact that I didn't get any shots of it. :(

Another first for me, making a baby! Not literally, because I have two teenagers, but out of fondant. Thanks to all the artists on Cakecentral.com that helped get me through that one!


I loved that the time, but now realize I could have gotten a little more detailed with the facade of the church. It was a hit anyway!


This is approximately one out of a gazillion pumpkins that I did. I totally loved each one, they all had their own look and identity!

Cool, fun little feather cake- what more can I say? Thanks for looking!

After looking thorough some past pictures, I found that I had not posted these. The credit card was a fun one to do. The numbers all represented a member of the family's birthday. The expiration date was the anniversary date and the name was the birthday girls, who happened to work at Chase in the credit card division! Pretty fun!

These were done at the same time I did the ivory and green wedding dummy cake. These were real, however, and were just for show. The mini cakes were vanilla with vanilla bc. The cookies were sugar and were made to match the mini cakes. It ended up being a lovely display, and a few visitors to this show actually took them and ate them!

I was really surprised to see that I had not posted these. They were fantastic and fun to make! The cosmetic purse was carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. The MAC tote was chocolate cake with chocolate filling. The lipstick was fondant. The shoes were all gumpaste, my first attempt at shoes!

WWE, Black Forest and a Tool Belt

This is one of my dessert cakes, the Black Forest. It is yummy! The filling is dark cherries with Kirshwasser. The frosting is a Golden Butter frosting. The cake is my moist, chocolate cake.

This cake was for a general contractor. It needed to be small. I molded dark chocolate in the shapes of the tools, then painted them with luster dust and vanilla. The 'belt' was made out of marshmallow fondant with little gold dragees. It is hard to see, but on the side of the cake were little 'wood' boards. The cake was a chocolate Kahlua cake with mocha frosting. YUM!

This was a fun one to do! Edgewater High Schools band director and his kids love the WWE. With two birthdays in one week, they had thier friend throw a fantastic birthday event at Chuck E. Cheese. Their were cloth party bags with the WWE logo filled with goodies. They had the black and red WWE balloons on every chair. With 30-40 kids, it was a party!

When I delivered the cake, the event planner, Tara, placed the referee in the ring and had several figures of the different wrestlers all around the cake. It all came together so well! The cake was again the amazing and moist chocolate cake with a very simple butter and chocolate filling. They loved it!

Black and White Wedding

Black and White Wedding Cake. It fed 75 people. Carrot cake on 1st and 3rd tiers and vanilla cake with vanilla bc on 2nd tier. Found out when delivering the cake that the numbers for the reception had gone up to 120. Quite frustrated, because I knew that this would not feed all of them!

Lots of Cookies!

These cookies were for Lake Highland Prep. You can see on the logo the L,H and P. I was so happy to have the printer and proper ink this time.

The next cookies were for a Christening for my dear friends niece. It's hard to tell, but the base icing color was ivory, the dash was white and the pearls were pearly/ivory. They are 3 1/2" cookies, so they are quite large. They turned out very nice!

The breast cancer awareness ribbons were done for a private event for the Brighton store in the Altamonte Mall. They were showing their new pieces for breast cancer awareness, which were absolutely lovely, and raising $$ for Florida Hospital's Eden Spa. Eden Spa helps women going through breast cancer, by providing an understanding area where you can go and get fitted for wigs. They provide so many services and I am honored to work with them in raising monies!
