Circus Second Birthday

A circus themed birthday cake for my littlest cousin's birthday cake.  Banana cake with chocolate ganache filling covered in swiss meringue buttercream with fondant accents.


Ivory and White Wedding

This wedding cake was for a family friend.  It is a lemon sour cream cake with lemon curd filling covered in marzipan and ivory fondant with hand-piped lace details.  It has been a very hot and humid weekend here and I had a few heart-pounding moments getting the cake to the venue.  I was relieved to hear the next morning that the cake survived the night.

Muppet Cupcakes

My brother never really grew up and he's been bugging his fiance about having muppet cupcakes at their wedding next summer. I made the cupcakes for them as an engagement present. We'll see if he finds something else to 'inspire' him for their wedding treats now. These were originally made by Cupcake Occasions in the UK, but I put my own twist on some of the characters.

Anne's Wedding Cake

My Cousin Anne asked me to make the cake for her wedding last weekend.  She was having a nautical themed wedding and wanted the blue and white ribbon around the base of each tier with a compass rose and their initials on the top.  The cake is a red velvet cake with a filling similar to whipped cream.  The cake is frosted and decorated all in Swiss Meringue Buttercream.  The compass rose is free-hand pipped on top.
