Pink Princess







Ever since Danielle had seen the princess cake I had made for Lomani, she wanted one, too. So today was the big day. The only guideline was, that she wanted a pink princess. But I really love colors, so we added purple, then orange, and with the hearts we added red. I like the color combination. The cake itself was a mix of white cake and pound cake with a cookies and cream filling alternating with chocolate frosting.
Here is a quiz: What hair color had the other princess?

Chocolate Bugs







Last week was Amelia's friend Zoey's birthday. For the occasion I made cupcakes. They were just very simple yellow butter cake cupcakes with an Italian Meringue butter cream. As decoration I made various bugs out of chocolate. Since there has to be chocolate I offered my triple chocolate cupcakes with ganache on the side.

Hawaiian Birthday Cake


Marlene had a Hawaiian birthday party this year. So we had to have a beach cake. It was a pound cake with chocolate chips and just the regular cream cheese frosting. I ventured into fondant modelling and made the palm trees, but the surfer and the dancers I had to buy. Maybe next year I will attempt to make people.

Tie-Dye-Swirl Cake


Here we have a Banana Cake with a French Custard Filling. As Frosting I used my favorite Cream Cheese Frosting. The tie dye coloring is done with six different colors put in big spots on the cake and later fused with a hot spatula.
