a LEGO cake for charlie's 5th birthday!!!

With a silicone mold, primary colored fondant, and a few cake decorating skills this LEGO cake came to life.

Although I have to admit that I cheated by using mini LEGO figurines. And so what? I could have NEVER re-created these heroes in sugar paste anyway…..

Robin

Thor

Batman

Spiderman & Superman

Wolverine

The Hulk & Captain America

Iron Man

And my fondant skills are still a little rusty…..Guess that means that I have to take on more cake orders!!!

You're 5!!!!!

HAPPY

BIRTHDAY

CHARLIE!!!

instagram cookies

How does one get someone to follow them on Instagram? Leave a trail of sugar with an Instagram cookie that's how!!!

hot air balloon themed 1st birthday for sky!!!

I LOVE a cute theme for a kid's birthday party!!! And since Sky's parents are super talented designers, their graphic design for a hot air balloon themed party was full of understated cuteness. 

Just check out this party invite….. 

I obviously found inspiration from the invite and just ran with it…..

Sky's parents requested chocolate chip cookie bags to pass out as party favors for each one of their guests.

I was also lucky to have Sky's big sister Autumn helping me with the dessert table.

The idea of having a food truck cater your party is absolutely genius!!! 
Korilla BBQ truck is da bomb!!!

 HAPPY
FIRST
BIRTHDAY
SKY!!!

elephant cookie favors for a moroccan themed baby shower

I "heart" CP cookies

It's July, and it's hot and humid, so turning on my oven to bake is low on my summer list. But when one of my favorite clients makes a special request, I find it hard to say no. I've made a version of these cookies here, and I think any color combo and/or initials translates super in this easy design.

Apparently the campers at Camp Pinecliffe are obsessed with their camp colors of blue & brown…..

I hope they "love" these cookies that they'll receive from one special camper who's family will be visiting the camp over the weekend.

esquites…..mexican street corn salad

I LOVE Mexican street corn. 
But what I don't love is corn stuck in between my teeth. 

Well, you don't have to wait until corn is in season or get it stuck between your pearly whites to make this recipe. I use organic frozen corn straight from the freezer to make this summertime favorite.

Happy Summer!!!

a peppa pig cake for bella!

I usually avoid making sugar paste sculptures and fondant covered cakes, but when a repeat client and good friend asked for a certain look/theme I just had to say "yes." Plus today's temperature high will be in the mid 80s and to avoid a buttercream meltdown, I had to use fondant.

I had no idea who Peppa Pig was!!! Thankfully a simple Google search inspired me and presented me with all kinds of great ideas.

I started sculpting the tiny birthday cake, cupcakes and beverages before I attempted the little pig family. This is Peppa Pig.

Her little brother George Pig.

Mummy 
Pig.

Daddy 
Pig.

I just love 
Daddy Pig's 
tiny 
whiskers.

My sugar paste skills are definitely rusty. So please don't judge some of my wrinkly imperfections….. 

For each cupcake, I topped them off individually with a sugar paste flower, sun, or cloud.

 

happy 5th birthday bella!!!
