as previously discussed, isaac was a ring bearer in a recent wedding of two friends. these two friends, to be exact: on top of providing the ring bearing cuteness, i also brought half of the wedding cupcakery. my friend regi (she’s awesome) provided a cake and the other half of the cupcakes. unfortunately, i didn’t […]
cakes
fondant sunbathers, basking in success
a few months ago, i ran into isaac’s teacher at joann fabrics (awkward story: i had picked him up early from school, picked up the babysitter, and dropped them at home so she could babysit while i selected fabrics. like any good mom would do.) anyhooooo… we chatted about cakes and fondant and buttercream and […]
woody and buzz cake
when parker was born, his mom immediately locked me in for his first birthday cake. unfortunately (not really), shortly after his birth, i discovered i was pregnant with the annababy. and she was born a few days before he turned one. so i had to pass on his first birthday cake. but, i made a […]
cake smashing.
i made (maybe i mentioned this) an 8 inch cake for the grownups and a 6 inch smash cake for anna. after our 1st birthday experience with isaac (he screamed the whole time and wouldn’t touch the cake), i figured we had nowhere to go but up… anna was a little apprehensive at first, but […]
rainbow-ific party for annababy
the whole thing started when i made a rainbow-y type layer cake a little while back. i decided then and there that for anna’s first birthday, a 6 layer rainbow cake would be in order. normally, we haven’t been too extravagant with our birthday celebrations, but something about a may birthday and a new grill […]
annababy birthday: the cake.
for anna’s birthday, i went with a big rainbow cake, a smaller (still big) smash rainbow cake and some rainbow cupcakes to add some color. 🙂 first up, the rainbow cake… after layering, before frosting: the crumb coat: fully frosted: the cupcakes (minus the pink ones): the full display: and finally, the rainbow cake, cut […]
butterfly cupcakes for molly…
my friend allison, who has helped me on cake endeavors in the past, and whose son is terrific pals with my ike, is going to have a baby girl in may. she’s due two days after anna’s birthday (who was born three days, late, if you recall, and had to be dragged out kicking and […]
owl mania
seems the trend these days is towards owls. with the help of my pal bridgette, i rolled out these owl and starburst cupcakes for the shower of one martha metzler and baby sam. sam junior, to be exact. 🙂 unfortunately, due to some sick kids and tired parents, i was unable to attend the festivities. […]
robot cake pops
for the birthday celebration of a good pal, i decided to make some cake pops. as always, my trusty cake pop associate, bridgette helped out. and we knocked these guys out pretty quickly. as it usually goes, no one really ate them at the party, so lots of moms got to take some home to […]
cupcake cake pops
so, some pals and i are throwing a baby shower for our other pal jessica. somehow, bridgette and i got the bright idea to try to make cake pops for the event. they’re like truffles on a stick. only the inside of the truffle is mashed up cake and frosting and the outside looks prettier […]
