Another Suprise 50th Celebration

These were made for a suprise 50th birthday party. The two tier cake was white cake with white chocolate mousse and triple chocolate cake with Baileys whipped ganache. The chocolate cupcakes were filled with white chocolate ganache and the white cupcakes were filled with raspberry mousse. These cakes were also accompanied by truffles, Raspberry, Hazelnut, Salted Caramel and Fudge decorated to match the pink and purple theme

Donation for the Chocolate Gala

This cake was my 2008 donation to the annual chocolate gala. If my memory is correct it was also a chocolate cake with a chocolate mousse and covered in chocolate buttercream. It cake was finished off with pink fondant flowers.

Happy 4th to Bella

Bella turned 4 this year and celebrated with a Madagascar themed ice cream cake. Chocolate Cake w/ Vanilla ice cream. The "4" , tree and "Bella" are chocolate. The animals, leaves and flowers are fondant. The cake is iced in green buttercream and detailed with the grass tip. I was able to deliver this to the birthday girl and it was so exciting to see that she recognized who the animals were (from the "You got to move it, move it movie"). That was exciting as I was having a hard time creating these characters...but with some help from my friends Sarah and Dawn, the cake came to life.

Happy Birthday to my Mother In Law

I was reminded of my mother in laws birthday a few days prior and came up with this cute little cake. 6" round with layers of triple chocolate and vanilla bean cake with hazelnut mousse in between the layers. It has been iced in light yellow buttercream and detailed with a grass border (one of my favorite tips). The daisies are made of gumpaste, dusted in pearl dust with a yellow buttercream and sanding sugar center. Elly (MIL) was thrilled. Of course my FIL wanted to know why it wasnt german chocolate and I had to remind him it wasnt HIS birthday!

Fun with Chocolate, Fruit and Flowers

These cakes were all made on the same day, I use the same cakes with different decorating options. The panels were made from white and dark chocolate. The grapes and strawberries were fresh. The red roses are gumpaste, the tuplips and pink roses are fresh.

The 1 tier cake with grapes and strawberries made it to work and everyone loved it.

Cupcakes, Big and Small

Marble cupcakes with chocolate whipped cream frosting. Each topped with a fondant snowflake brushed with pearl dust for a little sparkle. I made 3 dozen of these at the last second for my husbands co-workers. It was a fight against the snow during the holidays this year, but they turned out great and everyone was more than pleased.

These were done for a tasting, white and marble cakes with raspberry preserves, raspberry mousse and chocolate mousse fillings. They were each topped with buttercream frosting and a fondant flower and leaf. This tasting later turned into the Jungle Cake I made for a 1st birthday.

Red Velvet with whipped cream frosting and a single gumpaste flower. These were designed for a retirement homes afternoon tea party. These bit size cupcakes were accompanied by chocolate dipped strawberries.
