Baby Shower Cakes
Well you can't have a baby shower without having cake right? So a couple weeks before doing this cake, I saw this tutorial in a cake magazine for this little baby giraffe and I loved the idea. So when this cake was ordered I immediately wanted to incorporate the giraffe into the cake! I was very happy with how the little giraffe turned out, he is so cute! This cake was for a friend, Danielle, to celebrate her first born, Simon!
So I have been seeing these baby bum diaper cakes everywhere, and I think they are just adorable! So when I had another baby shower cake ordered, I jumped at the chance to try this new idea! So I had to experiment with the babies bum a little bit to get the exact shape of the bum I wanted. But in the end I was very happy with how it turned out! Then I simply finished it off with a chocolate buttercream and basketweave around the outside.
Thanks so much Wendy for asking me to do the cake!
The basketweave again! It looks hard, but honestly it is quite simple, and I love the look it gives! It is also a nice option if your customer doesn't want the whole cake to be covered in fondant. This cake was for a little baby girl named Willow. So I added the tree branches to resemble the name, and then fondant pink baby feet on top!
Summer time!!!
Well its summer, and its raspberry season! One of my favorite times of year, and one of my favorite fresh local treats! This cake was for my friend's mother-in-law's birthday. My friend, Carrie, named this cake "Raspberry delight!" It is a white/vanilla cake with a raspberry whipped cream filling, and a vanilla pudding/whipped cream frosting, topped with fresh raspberries! This kind of frosting is one of my absolute favorites, and is a nice change from your traditional buttercream. It is very light and fluffy!
