Welcome baby Alivia!

Here are some cupcakes I created for the June shower welcoming baby Alivia. 

Welcome baby Strovers!

It has been a while since this cake order, but it was a near-catastrophe so I think I wanted to get it out of my mind!  

The sugar rattles on the jumbo cupcake were darling, however, my buttercream icing was not strong enough to hold them onto cake's sides! They started falling off one by one one the way to deliver the cake! Trevor ran into Walgreen's, but to my dismay they don't carry frosting! I thought Walgreen's carried everything! We then ran to Hy-Vee and grabbed some there, getting to the shower just in the nick of time. (At least the guest of honor had not shown up.) Albeit, I do think the finished products did turn out pretty cute. 

Stella Neal is One

Our good friends' daughter, Stella, turned one in April! The theme of the party was cupcakes (with darling invitations that said "our little cupcake is turning one!"). I made a few dozen cupcakes for the soiree, in addition to an oversized cupcake and an individual cake for the birthday girl. Here's a picture of how they were displayed at the party.

Congratulations Michael and Mary

I had the honor of making the groom's cake for a work friend's wedding. Although her request was a Jayhawk :), it was still a fun cake to make. Thanks for the opportunity, Mary, and congrats!

Happy Birthday Deer

A friend of mine from work asked me to make this cake for her boyfriend's birthday. He's an avid hunter - hence the deer with the arrow. Please note this isn't just any deer; it's a white-tailed deer. Props to Pamela for making the arrow!

Happy Birthday, Hadley!

Last weekend I created a cake for a friend's daughter's first birthday. She wanted the cakes to coordinate with the party's invitation. Here's a look at the final product.

Happy Birthday, Ethan!

Sabrina asked me to make her nephew, Ethan's, first birthday cake. The party was John Deere themed, so here's the creation for the one-year-old.
