Black and White Wedding Cake

Again, congrats to newlyweds Dana and Tyger Elton!  Here is their wedding cake, a four tier creation in white chocolate and red velvet.  The outside is entirely buttercream with a ribbon around the base of each tier. 

Groom's Cake- Fishing Theme

Congrats to newlyweds Dana and Tyger!  The bride, Dana, ordered this groom's cake for Tyger, who is a very skilled fisherman.  Groom's cakes are the place in all the wedding stuff where you can really cut loose and have fun with decoration or theme. 

While it's sort of tradition to have a chocolate groom's cake, ironically the two grooms cakes I've made are both red velvet.  This cake is covered in cream cheese icing and the decorations on top are fondant.

Doodle Flower Cupcakes

When my friend Kim needed some cupcakes for her daughter Rachael's birthday she asked me to make them.  The party had a theme of pink flowers with yellow centers, and Rachael wanted chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting.  This is what we came up with:


I have named them "doodle flower" cupcakes because it reminds me of the flowers I draw when I'm just doodling.  The cupcakes are a homemade recipe involving melted semisweet chocolate, and the buttercream is traditional vanilla buttercream.  The flowers are made of colored fondant.

Wedding Shower

This cake was created because the bride preferred chocolate buttercream.  The actual cake is white chocolate, and there are blue fondant ribbon roses.  This would also make a great birthday, shower, or non-traditional wedding cake.
