Mmmm… Cupcakes!
Am I the only one who thinks cupcakes are beautiful? They don’t have to be ornately decorated. I think a pile of fluffy, delicious buttercream on top of a single serving cake is a thing of beauty! I made these cupcakes yesterday… I’ve been dreaming about frosting… White Chocolate Buttercream to be exact! And I […]

Simple Rose Cake
I made this cake over the weekend… It was a vanilla cake, filled with strawberry buttercream and fresh strawberries. It’s a buttercream finish with gumpaste roses and a fondant “ribbon” around the middle. I’m trying to find a style of roses that I’m really happy with, so these ones were just for practice 🙂 Once […]

New Wilton Products!

I invested in a bunch of Wilton products and my cakes and decorations were OK. Wilton is great for […]
How to make your own Leaf and/or Petal veiner!
I’m actually really proud of myself for this one, lol! I was making some practice flowers the other day and lamenting the fact that I only have a few, cheap petal veiners and how expensive it is to buy them. But they give such a great and realistic effect to gumpaste flowers! Then I was […]

Disco Ball Cake Topper
Well, I’m back from my trip to Florida and finally getting back to the swing of things! I posted the pictures for my 70’s Birthday Cake in a hurry before I left, but I wanted to share how I did a few things on that cake. This post is a tutorial for the Disco Ball […]
70’s Cake!
Finally! I have pictures of the cake I was working on last week and I’ve finally gotten the chance to post them! It was a 3 tier cake for a 50th birthday party. The bottom tier was Strawberry Shortcake- vanilla cake, strawberry buttercream w/ fresh strawberry filling. The middle was chocolate cake with peanut butter […]
