Butterflies & Bows 1st Birthday Cake
I had this design in my mind for a while and was able to use it with this cake. I marked a wooden skewer and then pressed it into the sides of the fondant to create stripes. Then I handpainted each stripe with vanilla and pearl dust. At first I was not happy with the streaks but in the end I think it really added to the striped effect.
The topper was made by printed out a design off of the invitation on edible paper and then mounting it to fondant/gumtex and cutting with an x-acto knife. The pinwheel bows I made out of fondant with royal icing buttons and I used this pic as a guide http://sweetbows.com/library/ClassicPinwheelBow-scarlet.jpg
I had purchased some butterfly cutters a while back and finally got to use them. I shaped the cutouts on leaf formers after stamping some holes with a wooden Wilton gumpaste tool. After they dried I airbrushed them with vanilla and pearl dust and then filled in the holes with royal icing.
Baby Motif Cupcakes
I want to give a shot out to my auntie who a while back gave me a bunch of candy molds, so her baby motif mold came in really handy. I monogrammed each with an edible marker. The dics are edible paper I printed out from a google pic and cut into circles and then placed on pink fondant circles and marked with an edible marker.
Thanks Shawn!!

Mi Amor Sweets Cake Tasting, March 6, 2010
waiting for some brides-to-be :)
the setup - I love Amy Atlas! I looked at her pics for a while ( http://www.amyatlas.com/index.php/main/portfolio/ ), and then went to Walmart for an hour. I would love to do wedding dessert tables some day, whenever a bride becomes interested...;)
First time doing banana cake, and it really wasn't that bad....if you like banana.
I can't wait to finally do a dulce de leche cake for someone. In the words of Rachel Ray, it's totally "delish"!
Another not necessary pic, but the photography is soooo pretty!
You can't go wrong with brown and pink....and M 'n' Ms! (See lower right hand corner. Easter season candy went perfect with the colors I chose.)
The glasses are votive candle holders.Sunday, February 28, 2010
My 100th Post!! & Tweety Bird Cake
Tweety Bird Baby Shower Cake
I covered this cake with edible frosting sheets, pink ribbon strips have daisies imprinted on them with a stamp although it's not shown in the pic.
The tweety bird plaque was made out of fondant/gumpaste, face was handpainted with edible paint and markers.
Another detail was using plastic mesh from Lowes, placing it on top of the frosting sheets, and airbrushing them. This would be more fitting to make napkins, not tissue paper, but it was interesting and easy.

Topsy Turvy Cake
Once again I was requested to copy another cake design. I do not know who the designer was, so if any of you cake people know so I could give them credit, please let me know. https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=eca84154a5&view=att&th=126040bfb4a4ce6b&attid=0.1&disp=inline&zw
Let's just say, topsy turvy cakes still have me beat, but I'm not giving up!
Bow was fondant/gumtex. It's shape is similar to one I saw recently on Ashley Vico's fan page. And once again I love edible markers!
Seaboat w/ Teddybear Baby Shower Cake
This cake was specifically requested to copy the design of a Pink cake Box design - http://www.pinkcakebox.com/images/cake675.jpg
I'm not much for copying other designs, it can be intimidating!
Everything was pretty much a fondant/gumtex mix. The sand was royal icing, brown sugar and some coloring.
