Cupcake-Themed Birthday Cake


My daughter is celebrating her 5th birthday this month, and she recently had her cupcake-themed party! She requested a chocolate cupcake cake with lots of colors. I used my special cupcake pan for the top. The bottom two layers are covered and decorated with colored fondant.

Christmas Cakes




















I was happy to create a few special cakes for Todd's faculty Christmas luncheon this year! Instead of one big cake, I wanted to give everyone some flavor choices.

The small poinsettia cake is yellow with almond buttercream. I put some edible glitter on the fondant poinsettia to
make it sparkley!

The present cake with the red bow is red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. It is covered in fondant wrapping paper with hand-painted snowflakes.

The cupcakes are also red velvet with cream cheese icing. Each one has a small royal icing holly leaf with red hots as berries.
The large Merry Christmas cake is devil's food with chocolate-espresso buttercream filling. It is covered with fondant and decorated with fondant balls and polka dots.













Christmas Tree Cookies


I made these cute Christmas tree cookies to carry to the annual mother-daughter tea at our pastor's home this year! They are sugar cookies decorated with royal icing and sprinkles.
