Julie's Baby Shower Cake

Baby Shower Cake

The girl that wanted this baby shower cake was very specific as to what she wanted down to the color combinations and their placement.

I especially love the teddy! Congrats Monique on your soon to be little boy!

Pea in a pod baby shower cupcakes

These cupcakes were made for a friend's baby shower. She doesn't know what she is having so she wanted cupcakes with both pink and blue frosting. The cupcakes were vanilla, orange, and chocolate all topped with buttercream swirls and a fondant pea pod and flower. Congrats Melissa and Brian on your soon to be bundle of joy!

Mod Mom Baby Shower

This Mod Mom themed baby shower cake was made for a woman expecting a baby girl. I was given the pedestal cake stand in advance for the cake to be made upon. The cake was white with vanilla buttercream/chocolate chip filling, the entire cake was covered in fondant, and the "Mod Mom," the flowers, and the squares were all made from fondant. Congratulations on your soon to be baby girl!

Twin Peas in a Pod Baby Shower

I absolutely LOVE the way that these turned out! These adorable peas in a pod cupcakes and small cake were made in honor of the soon to be mommy and daddy who are expecting twins... one boy and one girl! The boy cupcakes were chocolate with blue vanilla buttercream frosting topped with a pea pod and blue flower made from homemade marshmallow fondant. The girl cupcakes were vanilla with pink vanilla buttercream frosting also topped with the fondant pea pod and pink flower. The cake was one layer chocolate and one layer vanilla with vanilla buttercream filling and frosting. The large pea pod, flowers and polka dots were all made from fondant as well. Congratulations Michelle and Jeff on your soon to be double bundle of joy!

3D Bear Baby shower cake

This cake was made for a couple expecting a baby girl to be named Ellee. They specifically asked for a pink bear sitting on top of a blanket that looked like the babies bedding... Sugar Plum Fairy from Babies-R-Us, and blocks spelling out the babies name. The bottom cake and the bear were confetti with strawberry buttercream filling and vanilla frosting. The blanket was made entirely from homemade marshmallow fondant, and the blocks sitting on top of the cake were made from Rice Krispy Treats dipped in white chocolate and then covered in fondant. 30 extra blocks with A,B,C's were also made to go along with the cake. Congratulations on your soon to be baby girl!

Baby shower cupcakes

I made these cupcake for my friends baby shower. They didn't want to know what they are having, so the cupcakes were made for both boys and girls. They seem to think that it may be a boy only because they had a 4d ultrasound and the face they think looks more like a boy. That is why I placed a boy cupcake on top of the tower. The boy cupcakes were chocolate with vanilla buttercream topped with fondant rubber ducks and the girl cupcakes were vanilla with strawberry buttercream topped with fondant flowers. Congratulations Tricia and Brian on your upcoming bundle of joy!

Vivienne's baptism cake

This cake was made for a little girl being baptized. The cake was marble with oreo buttercream filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. The cross and ball border were made from homemade marshmallow fondant, pink dragees were used to accent the border, and edible shimmer was used on top of the cake.

Brayden's baptism cake

This cake was made for some friend's of our's son Brayden who was being baptized. I was told that I could do whatever I wanted which was nice and that it didn't have to be anything very detailed, just something simple due to the fact that it was for the same day as my birthday. The cake was chocolate with vanilla buttercream/chocolate chip filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. Cross, white doile and border were made from homemade marshmallow fondant and silver dragees were used for finishing touches.

It's a girl!

This cake was made for a couple expecting a baby girl. When I was asked to make this cake, they specifically wanted the bear to sit on top of a baby blanket with the colors that will match their babies nursery. The cake was white with strawberry buttercream filing, and the bear was also white cake. The blanket was made from homemade marshmallow fondant, and the blocks were made from Rice Krispy treats and then covered in fondant. The entire cake is edible with the exception of the pink plastic safety on the diaper which are difficult to see because the diaper is also pink. Congratulations Katie on your upcoming baby girl!

Twin boy baby shower cupcakes

These cupcakes were made for a baby shower for a women having twin boy's! They wanted to match the invitations which had double baby bottles in brown and blue. 1/2 of the cupcakes were chocolate with vanilla buttercream and the other 1/2 were vanilla cupcakes with chocolate buttercream. 1/2 of the toppers had the double baby bottles that matched the invites and the other 1/2 had "Oh Boy, Oh Boy" indicating that there is going to be 2 boys... pretty clever, but I can't take credit for that, the sister of the Mommy-to-be did! :) Congratulations on your soon to be 2 baby boys!!

3D turtle cake, 3D bear cake and cupcakes!

I LOVE the way this cake turned out... I think it is my favorite yet! The entire cake including the turtle was yellow with chocolate buttercream filling. The turtle shell was covered with homemade marshmallow fondant and decorated with fondant pieces and the turtle head, feet, hands and tail (which you cant see) were also made from fondant. Happy Birthday Jonah!

The only thing that I was told I absolutely had to do with this cake was make the bear pink... I could do what ever I wanted with the rest. This entire cake (including the bear) was all white with buttercream frosting, homemade marshmellow fondant pieces include the blanket, bow, banner, and buttons. Congratulations Shantel!

I tried out a few new recipes this week, so I made cupcakes!

These ones were good, just not fluffy enough.


These ones... well, not so good! :(

It's a Boy!

The first thing that everyone asks me when they see this picture is... is the bear cake? I was even asked if it was a teddy bear sitting on top. The round cake is vanilla and the bear is chocolate, all with vanilla buttercream frosting. Everything here is edible... except for the plastic rattle and the plastic safety pins. I added sugar cookies for the finishing touch!
