catch-up cakes...

whew - i needed that break...did u miss me? ;0)

here are some cakes that i've done while i was gone...there's still one really important cake missing...more to come on that tomorrow!

first, was a wedding cake that traveled 2 hours away...i drove to Petersburg WVa to set it up - what a beautiful drive too!

it was 5 tiers of alternating carrot cake & wedding white cake...all filled & iced in my cream cheese buttercream...i added a diamond shaped embossing on the sides of the tiers, & accented them with edible fondant pearls...the ribbon border & fresh flowers were not edible


then came a special birthday cake for 3 year old Kadin...i've been making cakes for Kadin & his parents since before he was born (his mama's baby shower cake, their wedding cake, etc)...he LOVES trains - especially Thomas! so this year, he got a Thomas cake for his train party

it was 3 tiers of fudge chip cake, filled with chocolate fudge ganache & iced in buttercream...i made Thomas from rice krispie treats & fondant...all the other decorations are fondant too...100% edible!

& Kadin loved his cake too! here's a note i got from his mom, Heather...
"I don't know if I have ever seen Kadin as happy as he was today when he saw his cake!!! Thank you so much it was amazing!"

i also made some cupcakes for a special birthday girl this past weekend...my customer's mother was turning 60 & she wanted to get her cupcakes that showed her 3 main loves...wine, reading & the beach :0)

i made white & fudge chip cupcakes, all iced in buttercream...then i topped them with fondant wine bottles, books & seashells (with a little brown sugar sand)


& lastly, this yummy cake that went to my inlaws yesterday...Curt's mom & aunt are 2 of my biggest fans...so i always have to show up with cake when we visit ;0) it was 2 layers of wedding white cake - filled with a layer of chocolate fudge ganache, then a layer of red raspberry buttercream...all iced in my original buttercream & topped with chocolate jimmies...YUM! if i do say so myself ;0)

thx for looking!
