Baseball time in Tennessee

Had great fun making these cute little baseball cupcakes for an old friend... Unfortunately his son's game got rained out but I'm sure the team still enjoyed the sweets!!  :)

Nifty Nifty look who's Fifty!!

Happy Birthday John...

This cake was for a lady's husband in our Nashville office.  He turned 50 this year and this was only fitting.  Cake is a strawberry cake with cream cheese icing..... can you ask for a better treat??   Other cool cakes coming up this month.... on tap is a Xbox remote control cake and a Spiderman/Batman cake.  Should be lots of fun!!

Baby Shower time...

My latest cake was for a baby shower... this one put me a little out of my element because I had to use rice krispy treats for parts of it.  Tedious work, but it came out wonderfully.  I was really impressed with myself on this one.

Valentine's Day

It's always fun to celebrate Valentine's Day... this year was extra fun for me! I had a couple of different orders that kept me busy all weekend long.  They were all super fun though.

First was an order for 120 mini cupcakes - red velvet with cream cheese icing and heart sprinkles.  Cute!

Next I had a birthday/Valentine's Day cake to do for a friend's husband.  Again, red velvet with cream cheese icing - mmmmmm, yummy!

And last but not least a couple dozen cookies decorated up like those little message hearts... so cute.  Plus I had a couple left over for me - good stuff!

I am halfway through my final cake class as well.  Tuesday night will be week 3 of 4.  I'll post some of my work in another post.

Have a great day everyone... hope your Valentine's Day was wonderful and full of love!

New projects coming up...

I'm very excited to let everyone know I received my Cricut Cake machine last night.  I can't wait to play with it and decorate lots of desserts with endless possibilities! For those that don't know what this is, visit this website for more information.

I also am proud to say that I am going to finally take my last cake class next month.  Even though I am already working with fondant and gum paste, I don't have any formal training on those elements.  I will, however, after February!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my blog.  I'll continue to post my latest desserts - lots of things coming up this weekend!!  :-)

Happy New Year...

and how can you celebrate the New Year without champagne??  Well, this year I tried a new recipe - champagne mini cupcakes.  They were different.  Not your regular cupcake.  The texture was a little more dense than a regular cupcake and the icing was a bit sweeter - I know... how can the icing be sweeter??  But it was.  It had just that hint of champagne in it and a bit of the alcoholish aftertaste.  

Of course for the kids that were at the party, they got the non alcoholic version, just in chocolate!  They were good as well, just your classic yellow sponge with chocolate buttercream.  You can never go wrong with that!
