Spring Weddings

I am really loving the color combination of this cake. It is my favorite yet. The cake was meant to match the invitations as much as possible (see my facebook page for the invite picture with the cake). The ribbons were provided by the bride so she made it easy for me, although she did give me different ones to combine together. The entire cake was a marble cake with my yummy swiss merengue buttercream. The couple told me how much they & the guests loved it. I can not ask for anything more because my clients happiness is my happiness :)  

Cupcake in a Cake

I need to thank the client on this one for giving me the freedom within the  cupcake theme to create it. The birthday girls colors were light colors. Each tier has delicious icing covered in sprinkles. Of course my favorite part is the cherry on top.   

Wedding Cakes come in all sizes

Simple can also be beuatiful. This cake illustrates just that. An offset square buttercream cake is adorned with fresh calla lillies and gumpaste flowers. This cake served 30 people. Inside was a vanilla velvet with swisss merengue buttercream and raspberry preserves.

All things Bonn Boni Giveaway

Alas the time has come. I have decided to give a big thank you to all of my supporters who make, making cake a little easier. The prizes are irresistible and I think you would all agree with me.

First Prize: This one is open to anyone anywhere (as long as UPS/FedEx can go). It includes a Frosted Cupcake Apron and a matching set of adorable measuring spoons that I found online. I myself could not bake with something so adorable. This is much better then a blender guys!

One Size fits all, Unisex too :) 

These spoons are just adorable, I know I mentioned that already.

Second Prize: This one is open only to people residing in Spotsylvania or Stafford VA. I will personally deliver 1 dozen delicious melt in your mouth white truffle peanut butter chocolate cupcakes. It's a mouthful but trust me it is one of my favorites. 

  

This giveaway will be very simple....

For both prizes all you need to say is "I want it" or "I need it", "Give it to me", or something to those effects (but be nice) on Facebook. The person with the most likes will win, simple as that. For the second place prize the people with the most likes living in the areas I specified will be eligible.     

80's Toppers

These toppers are self explanatory. The 80s came back in a big way for this birthday party. Although time consuming to make it was quite fun. It made me realize that there are just some things that kids now will never know existed like tape cassettes, Micheal Jackson or pac man. I get requests now for Ni Hao characters or Sponge Bobs for kids cakes. I wonder if when they get older they will want a cake with things like iPhone and mp3 players on it.    

Spring is here

I'm loving the fact that now I can open my car windows and smell the fresh air while I''m driving. As much as I love it I am reminded of how hot summer will be when we have afternoons of 80+ degrees. 

I'm looking forward to kayaking with my husband on the Rappahannock river here in Fredericksburg. On my last outing I had a dragonfly take a long ride with me on my little red Kayak. 

This particular cake was a first birthday cake for a little girl. The cupcakes were meant to match with lilac colors. I included some purple flowers to make the lilac pop more. The monogram was made out of royal icing in the font of the invitations. I sprinkled it with lilac disco dust. It was like adding glitter in kindergarten class, too much fun. The side designs were copied as best as I could from the intricate design on the invitations. 

The cake was a white cake with raspberry preserves and swiss merengue buttercream. The cupcakes were my popular chocolate chip chocolate cake. 

Grand Wedding Cake

The cake was inspired by the brides colors blue and white and the gift box theme she wanted. I wasn't quite sure how the design would turn out even though I sketched out a design prior. Sometimes I go on automatic and I do not stop until I am satisfied with the design. Usually it requires me to add some paint and shimmer to the cake.

My favorite part has to be the bling on the second tier. I just think that the fondant bows surrounding it is just too pretty. The cake serves over 250 people. 6 tiers tall, silver platter making it even taller. 

Overall I am very pleased, and I know the couple was too!!! 

Thanks for an awesome cake design, although hard and verrrrry time consuming the result was soooo worth it.
