It is one of my very best friends birthday and I couldn't decide on a flavor or design, so.... I made both:) The Fondant Ruffle Cake is Chocolate Fudge with a Brownie layer and Cream Cheese filling. The Blue ruffles is Butter Pound Cake with White Chocolate and Raspberry filling. Even had a third idea I REALLY wanted to play with but, even I have my limits...she only has one day to eat cake before she goes out of town;)
Cupcakes: lemon filled, raspberry filled, Rootbeer Float! and
chocolate peanut butter cup
Cookies: Jamie’s sugar cookies, new york times famous chocolate chip
Cake Ball Truffles: chocolate fudge, raspberry white chocolate, vanilla butter pound cake, and new this year ...cheesecake!
Homemade brownies.

a 60th wedding anniversary is a very big deal and deserves a big celebration! I made this cake for the party. The cake was a vanilla butter cake filled with raspberry and white chocolate. The cake was covered all in buttercream. Texas summer's mean hot, humid temps and I cannot tell you how much stress was involved thinking about transporting this buttercream 100lb. cake 20 min. to the church! The cake survived...I survived...and I hope the couple enjoyed it.
This chocolate fudge cake was filled with dark chocolate ganache and frosted in my favorite cocoa buttermilk icing. I dipped the strawberries and then painted them with gold luster dust. The love was written in white chocolate. It looks small but was actually a tall 10 inch cake.
hand stenciled buttercream on buttercream...fondant is for wimps ;) gumpaste bow and hand made brooches painted and be-dazzeled.
So much fun on these cookies...I made 2 dozen for an order and made many more just because I was having a great time with design. I wish I would have been able to get more, and better photos. When I get so tired I decide to skip the photo session and always regret it.
These were my favorite cookies to date...mostly because of who I made them for! She was so nice and made me feel so happy when she saw them. They were for a wedding rehearsal dinner. So elegant to have them sitting at the place setting. I really like white on white for weddings. And yes EVERY cookie was a little different.
I love baby showers that do not stick to the typical baby pink and blue. I am a little obsessed with the color turquoise right now so I loved making these!
This cake was made for the best lady in the world. She was throwing a Royal Tea Party birthday for her daughter...and I love them both so I wanted it to be special in every way. The cake is vanilla with raspberry. Everything on this cake was hand made and edible. I painted each jewel and sat painting glitter for way to many episodes of house hunters ;)
My entire family...mom, sisters and brother LOVE lemon...me not so much. I made these butter pound cake cupcakes and filled them with a homemade lemon curd, with lots of lemon zest...and topped with crushed lemon heads and my buttercream. I made these for a beautiful lady I know from the Y, she was giving her husband a happy birthday. Mom, it's too bad I live so far away I had lots of extras!
