Strawberry pie cupcakes

So they may look like mini strawberry pies, but reality is that they are triple chocolate fudge cupcakes filled with strawberry and also topped with strawberry glaze. I got this idea from Flickr where I happen to find many fabulous ideas. The original cupcake pies were made to look like pumpkin pies, which I will be making for Thanksgiving! Here is a picture of what I made for Alissa....

Thank you for ordering Alissa! :)

Julius and friends cake!

Kelly thank you soo much for challenging me and believing that I could create the Paul Frank cake you wanted. For those wondering the cake was vanilla with mini chocolate chips and filled with strawberries and strawberry glaze, oh and topped with a great tasting marshmellow fondant! Yummy. Here are some pictures starting with the characters all cut out and ready to get put on the cake.

There were a couple of minor injuries to the fondant pieces but nothing that a little frosting couldnt fix :) Thanks again Kelly :)

Final cake for course 1

Just thought I would share my final cake for course 1. It was better than I thought it would look, but still need to sharpen my flower skills. The Wilton rose is a bit hard. The base and the bud were a breeze, but the 2nd and 3rd layers were a pain.

Clown cake

I forgot about my cake that I made in class last Saturday! Ok so here is the story we have to take our cakes in frosted so that we can decorate the cake in class after our lesson. Well as I was putting the cake in the car it fell over. I had some frosting to cover up some of the damage but not all of it.....

We learned how to make the shell border, dots,  and how to make clowns! I had fun!! All these dots are driving me nuts ha ha! The last 2 posts had polka dots on them.

Minnie Mouse Thank you cards

Alissa I hope that you are as happy as I am with the way that the thank you cards turned out! Yes Minnie's dress is normally red w/white polka dots but since Alissa needed them to match the invites, they needed to be pink.

 Alissa thank you so much for you order!!! Alissa is cute as a cupcake duh and you can catch her at http://missalissduh.blogspot.com/ Ok time to go gotta make your cupcakes now :)

Baby shower invitations and favors

First and foremost I would like to thank Kaliah for ordering the invitations and favors! She wanted something very cute for her sisters baby shower being that this is her sister 1st baby! Her theme was pink and brown and so I decided to make a baby onesie for the invitation. Some of you may know and some may not but odd numbers are more appealing to the eye so of course I added 1 more color to the invite.

They opened up and on the inside I added vellum paper and pink rhinestones to match the outside of the invitation.

This next picture is the invitation, envelope, seal and direction insert.

My theme for my baby shower was also pink and brown and I had a hard time finding pink and brown party favors but mentioned to Kaliah what I made for my shower. Very simple and plain but cute. They are filled with pink peanut M&M's and chocolate Skittles. Take a look...

Once again Thank You Kaliah!!!

Mummy's, owl's, and dracula

So I got another order for some Halloween treats that I would like to share with you. This was my first attempt at making the mummy, and the dracula. Thank you for ordering April, I hope you enjoy!It was fun making these :)

NY Yankee cupcakes/ Red Velvet cupcakes

Sunday I woke up thinking I needed to pay tribute to the NY Yankees. I had some time before the game started to whip up some fantastic red velvet cupcakes filled with vanilla pudding, and topped with cream cheese frosting. I always speed through things due to the fact that I have a 10 month old baby who is attached to my hip the majority of the time. Here is the picture of the cupcakes:

This is what the rest of them looked like:

I also went to my 2nd class and we are only allotted 30 minutes to decorate our cakes and this is what I did. Originally the cake was supposed to be plain white, but a girl bumped into me and pink pixie dust spilled onto my cake. I should have taken more pictures of the side of my cake. There were hearts around the cake too! There were some decorations towards the bottom of the cake but didnt like the way they looked so I took them off.

Jungle invitations

Ok so I have been putting these invites on the back burner for quite some time. I finally realized that I needed to get these invites done so Kayla can take them to school and pass out to her friends.

Here is a picture of the outside of the invitation:

Oh and of course my daughter wanted me to make the wording in 3 different colors so here is what all 3 look like:

and here is what it looks like on the inside:

As you can see the picture is somewhat blurry. That was purposely done. I may be adding 1 more animal to the inside of the invitaiton. Since I decorated soo much on the outside I didnt want to over kill the inside of the invitation!

Halloween treats

So I finally had some down time away from work, at home taking care of my daughter and made the monster logo cupcake. I think it turned out pretty good! So good that one of my friends from high school saw the post on my Facebook page and said that she was going to show it to the Monster rep at her event last night!!! Thanks Cynthia!!

Now Cindy is the one who asked me to make the Monster logo cupcake for her son. She only asked for 1 cupcake but I thought hmm you need more than 1, so I decided to make her 2 jumbo cupcakes since she has been waiting so patiently!

Here are the treats  that Shannon asked me to whip up for her party that she had this past Saturday:

Tis the season for the Halloween goodies! Had some time to play around and thought I would try to make a ghost and this is what I came up with:

There will be more to come! I started my cake decorating classes on Saturday and it was very fun! We got to see the instructor decorate a cake in about less than 10 minutes! Our home work was to bake a cake and bring it in frosted to our next class. I also need to whip up thick, meduim, and thin consistency frostings so that I can decorate my cake in class!!!
