Surprise Wedding Shower Cake

My weekend was full of surprise parties and cake, what a weekend! This cake was made for one of my best friends. She's getting married in July to one of the sweetest guys I know so her mom and the bridal party threw her a surprise wedding shower.



This cake was very fun to make but very difficult and frustrating. The wedding colour is persimmon which I thought would be an easy colour to match...NOPE!! I looked on-line at colour swatches and every single one was different, some more orange some more red. The swatch I remember seeing was a reddish colour with organge undertones so I finally decided to use two variations of what I thought the colour persimmon looked like.

The top tier is a 4" chocolate cake with two tortes of chocolate chip cookie dough filling and a torte of vanilla buttercream. The second tier is a 6" vanilla cake with two tortes of chcolate buttercream and a torte of vanilla. The bottom tier is the same as the 6" top tier.



The flowers are made from fondant, imprinted and finished off with a small edible pearl.

Surprise 50th Birthday Cake

This cake was made for a surprise party for my friends mom Kathy. The colours for the party were green and black so we wanted to incorporate those colours into the cake. I was given a picture of cake but we changed the colours and design a little and came up with this cake.



The 6" top tier and the 8" middle tiers are made from rice krispy treats and covered in fondant. My friend wanted to have the height and grandeur of a three tiered cake but didn't need all the cake so we used rice kripsies as 'dummy cake'...mind you the rice kripies covered in buttercream and fondant are really good to munch on!

The bottom 10" cake is chocolate cake filled with vanilla buttercream and covered in fondant. All the decorations including the bow and spirals are made from fondant.



I had a lot of fun making the bow, I kind of changed the design of the bow last minute but I'm glad I did, I'm really happy with how this cake turned out!

Ice Cream Cone Cake Balls

Hailey asked me if we could make something fun with cake today. I had just finished making a birthday cake and was thinking what to do with the left overs. We finally decided to make mini ice cream cone cake balls.



The "ice cream" is cake mixed with icing, dipped in chocolate and placed on an ice cream cone. They are topped with more melted chocolate, sprinkles and some red fondant as the cherry.

Present Birthday Cake

9 x 13 vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream covered in fondant. The bow was really fun to make, a little frustrating at times but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Birthday Cupcakes

These little cuppies were made for a friend's 25th birthday, 25 cupcakes for 25 years!
Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and purple & blue fondant flowers. Some of the cupcakes had sugar sprinkles too

Chocolate Chip Cookie Lover Cake

There is nothing like a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie and looking at my ooey gooey cookies gave me the inspiration for this cake.
This 6" vanilla cake is filled with two layers of chocolate chip cookie dough buttercream and a layer of vanilla buttercream.



It's covered with more vanilla buttercream, topped with chocolate ganache, vanilla buttecream swirls and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.

Girls Night Out

I made this 6" cake for a girls night out I had recently. The cake is vanilla, filled with dark chocolate mousse, covered in chocolate buttercream and then covered in chocolate ganache. The cake was also sprayed with a sugar and Kahula syrup and the sides were covered in dark chocolate curls.
The girls night out and the martini glasses are pink and white chocolate.
