I did this for Dave's Boss who just had a baby boy. It is the logo for the company. They named him McGuire. This one was a really fun cake to do.

"EASY" mini roses

Here is the video that I was telling you about Heather. I obtained some kinda bad shots of the cupcakes that I did Saturday. I will try to get better ones from the photographer.

Etsy

We are one step closer to our etsy store, thanks to our friend Katie who took these FABULOUS pictures. We just need to get an actual kit together to photograph.

Ipod

Pretty self expanatory. 11 x 15 in chocolate sheet cake with chocolate filling. We used a food coloring marker for the writting. We are finding those markers to be an essential tool.

Purses

Here are the different designs that we came up with. The theme is "Purse-onal Enrichment" and the colors are black and white. I think my favorite is the polkadot one. These would be super cute in color. Gabby and I are going to be selling these on etsy.

may wedding

Here's a cake I did back in May. It's weird to even say back in May, it really didn't seem like it was 3 months ago. Anyway, typical wedding cake but I know you were asking me Heather where the pictures were. I still have to get pictures for 4 other cakes I've done recently.

Mini Purse Topper

Gabby and I are making purse cupcakes for enrichment next week. We need to make 75 (sheesh). This is the easiest way that I came up with to do them. We wanted something that will stand up but not take forever to do. Here are the steps to doing them. It looks like a lot but its super easy.

1. Gather Materials: Fondant, Large and small circle cutters, rolling pin, tiny flower cutter, drogees (sp?) and your handy dandy scraper.

2. Cut small flowers out of thinly rolled fondant

3. Cut purse body with lg circle cutter out of 1/2 to 3/4 in thick fondant.

4. Use scraper to cut the top and bottom off of the circle. More off bottom than top.

5. Smooth out edges

6. Cut purse flap with sm circle cutter out of 1/8 to 1/4 in thick fondant. Also cut strips for handle and roll into snake.

7. Get top of purse wet and flaten one end of snake and press onto top of purse.

8. Put sm circle on top of purse. Measure the length of the handle and cut and secure the other (flattened) end of handle under the flap.

9. Lightly press flap down to secure.

10. Add tiny flower and drogee in center. Done

You can also luster dust or add stitching to the flap if your super ambitious. You can also use the food coloring pens to draw designs or whatever. This is just the basic structure. Just thought I would share.

Butterfly

Sorry about the mess in the back. We were on a time crunch. Anywho, this is our butterfly cake. We made the butterflies out of gumpaste. We cut them out with a cookie cutter (that I found in the clay modeling section of the store) and hung them hanging half way over the edge of a box in the center to get their wings to dry shaped. Then we painted them with lusterdust and piped royal icing on them. Food coloring pens would work great too if your going for a more graphic look.

Tommy B- Day Cake

This is the cake I made for Tommy's birthday. I didnt really have a plan. We just did whatever. Tommy loved it. I baked it in a 11 x 15 sheet cake and cut the peices out and stood them up on the board. This was done using our new Fondant recipe. It tasted like royal icing to me. This is basically how I set it up. Looking back now. I wish I would have done a smaller head. We did a chocolate cake with chocolate peanut butter icing.

Kitty Cake

This is a cake that we decorated for a neighbor. She already had the pan but didnt have the time to do the stars. Gabby and I layered the extra peices of cake on there to raise the legs and nose. For a star cake it turned out pretty good.

For Shalece

Hope this is on time. Havnt checked the blog in a while. I thought this would be a cute rice crispy idea for a baby shower.

Paint Roller

Here is a link that I found off of cake central. They use a high density foam paint roller to smooth out buttercream on cakes. I havnt tried it but it looks awsome! The above link gives the detailed instructions. Pretty simple though.
