Purple Rosettes

 My sweet little girl just turned 4 and we celebrated at the Gymnastics Center. We picked the colors Dark Purple, Light Purple and White. We ran with it!!! Everything from the cakes, to the frosting, and the balloons, tags on favors, drinks and anything we could think of was Dark Purple, Light Purple and White.
However, the favorite of the party was the Cake. Cake and cupcakes were made with a Deep Vanilla Cake and Vanilla Buttercream. In between each layer was buttercream and vanilla pudding. It was covered with white and milk chocolate chips. DELICIOUS!!!

Cupcakes

 Cupcakes are the perfect gift for friends, family and co-workers. I made these cupcakes for my next door neighbor's birthday! She got a small tattoo for her 44th  birthday that was pink and black so I wanted to incorporate that into the cupcakes.

Move Over Bulldozer!!

 My sweet boy turned 1 in July and we have lovingly nicknamed him the Bulldozer. He loves to push anything in his way and is so funny. If you're in the way - Watch out!!

This cake is gluten free and dairy free as I have taken on that life style, by no choice of my own. My stomach doesn't agree with most foods lately. If you're looking for gluten free recipes, my best friend on the whole world has celiac and creates her own recipes - her blog is www.myglutenfreegoodies.blogspot.com

Go Lobos!! UNM

 The best babysitter in the whole world graduated from High School and got a great scholarship to the University of New Mexico. I made this cake for her graduation party. The white and red decorations are made from Wilton Sugar Sheets. The rest is fondant with a thick Vanilla cake recipe! So Yummy!!!


My Budding Cake Decorator

 My sweet little girl loves it when I come home from teaching another cake decorating class. She gets the leftovers and gets to eat or make her own cake. She has made my birthday cakes for the past couple of years and she is so wonderful!!!


Basic Daisy Cake

This was the first fondant covered cake I ever made in my cake class back in 2011. Not too shabby for a first time cake. 

Thank you - Basketweave

 I created this Thank you cake for the employees at Michaels who I've worked with and who got me addicted to cakes. I worked at the Springfield Michaels store for 6 months before moving to the other side of the country.  They were wonderful to work with and now I am working with another wonderful group of people at the Michaels here in Salem.
