"I said you would make cookies for my class, MOM"

I hear this quite frequently, now that I am in the cake business. My kids have become experts in "volunteering" me to make stuff for their class parties. And, OF COURSE, it always happens when I am the busiest, RIGHT? Nevertheless, I can't turn them down, and spend late nights creating cool treats for their classes. This week was one of them. So, here they are....

My son asked for sports ball cookies and happy face cupcakes. I couldn't resist and make some flower cookies for the girls in his class too.

My daughter requested cupcakes with pink butterflies and stars with "shiny sprinkles" on them.

Ivory & Pink Butterfly Wedding Cake

This weekend we created this 3 tier square cake for Kara. Her colors were ivory and pink. She wanted a pale ivory cake wrapped with soft pink ribbon adorned with silk butterflies. The butterflies were a personal touch since Kara loves tattoos, and all her tattoos are butterflies. For flavours, Kara chose chocolate and classic white tuxedo cake filled with rich chocolate truffle filling and iced in Italian Meringue Buttercream. Congratulations Kara!

Sometimes All It Takes...

is a happy smile. I made these whimsical cupcakes swirled with vibrant shades of buttercream for a young girl's birthday. Each cupcake is topped with a fondant butterfly. When the young girl came with her dad to pick them up, her eyes lit up with joy. She was soooo happy! That's all it takes sometimes to make your day...a child's happy smile. Happy Birthday Victoria!
