One version (of more) to be posted. Halloween is going to be fun this year!

Mermaid Cake!

I did this one back in April, but forgot to post it. Thank you Auna for the picture! :)

Ben 10 Cupcakes & Cake!




I handmade all of the inserts to fit the birthday boy's theme. I created the cake to look like the front of Ben's super cool watch that turns him into ten different aliens. :)

Cross Cupcakes!

I made these for my mother in law on her birthday. She is one of the most spiritual/religious people that I know, so I figured these would be perfect. :)

We'll Miss You!

The I.T. guy for a company I work for is leaving Texas and moving to Toronto, Canada to further his education in grad school. I made this cake to look kind of like the landscape of Canada and added his face to the Canadian Mountie body and pictures of my co-workers to the Anti-Canada/Pro American rally. We're sad about loosing our wonderful I.T. guy to Canada, but we wish him all the best!

The Frosted Cupcake

I've been asked a couple different times what my favorite flavor of cake is. Without a doubt, it's the orange flavored cake with cream cheese frosting. While I am still trying to perfect this recipe, I have to give a shout out to a cupcakery located in Belmont Shores, California. The best orange cupcake award (for now) goes to The Frosted Cupcake. I visited this quaint, yet modern little shop back in July when my best friend and I decided to take a summer vacation to southern Cali. This cupcake was beyond tastey. Beyond fabulous. It was perfect! The cream cheese frosting was sweet but not too sweet. The orange flavor was subtle and refreshing. The cake was unbelievably moist. This cupcake was well worth it's near $3.00 price tag. I would've paid $10! If you are ever near the Belmont Shore area, you've got to make a stop here. You will not regret it!!! Check out the website along with two of my personal pics. :)


Behold the Orange/Cream Cheese Cupcake!

Pancake and Bacon Cupcakes!

Perfect for brunches or special breakfast meetings! Look at these little guys! I made the cupcake from pancake batter and infused some real maple syrup on top before I stuck them in the oven. The icing is a regular buttercream with maple syrup whipped in. I choose maple flavored bacon for the topper, but next time I think i'll just go with regular bacon to add that teensy bit of salt with the sweet. Still though, eating one of these really was like eating Pancakes and Bacon breakfast! ;) Bizarre and fun at the same time!

Happy Birthday Logan!

So this is my new favorite decorating technique! Look at the colors! Colors make me happy. Colors make me very happy... :)
Here is a pic before I added the custom fondant pieces. It reminds me of a white sprinkled donut, which happens to be my vice. It's the hardest thing for me to resist. :)

Happy Birthday Brittaney!!!

My sister, Brittaney turned 26 on August 3rd! She wanted Pinnapple cupcakes with milk chocolate frosting and sprinkles. Sounds odd to me, but all the feedback was positive. :)
