Winter Wonderland

Winter cupcakes...I love the snowman! White buttercream with tip 12 on the bottom, a marshmallow in the center, and buttercream eyes/nose/mouth/hat. Pretzel sticks for the arms. Super cute! Santa hats are just buttercream swirls.


Snowman cake...I made this very spur of the moment because I really wanted to make the icicle border on the side, LOL. All buttercream. I only wish I had taken the time to make the snowman's nose orange instead of black.

Cupcakes, Cupcakes, Cupcakes

Miscellaneous cupcakes from the past few months...

Mermaid Cake

I made this mermaid cake for a second birthday. I think the "doll cakes" using the Wilton Wonder Mold pan turn out so great - I remember having one for a birthday when I was a child. I just love the look of the waves on the doll cake, the seashells, the mermaid's tail...it all came together so perfectly! The cupcakes were made to match the cake. I made chocolate for the tops of the cupcakes in the shape of seashells to go with the theme. Aside from the chocolate on the cupcakes and the doll body - the cake and cupcakes are all decorated with buttercream.

Free Cakes for Kids

A local mommy/cake decorator friend, Emily, and I chatted about starting a program to provide free cakes for kids in the area who would not otherwise have a birthday cake for themselves. Once a month we decorate cakes and take them to a group of kids who meet at a local church - it is called the F.R.O.G. program.

Here are some of the cakes I've made for these kids!

Election Night - Obama!

Cake for an election night party....Go Obama! Side says Hope, Change, Believe. All buttercream.
