Rocket Cake

Almost everything on this cake is edible.  The rocket is sculpted out of rice krispies and covered in gumpaste and fondant.  This happens to be a chocolate cake with a coordinating chocolate cupcake, both iced in chocolate.

Peanut Butter Cupcakes

I wish that the picture did this cupcake justice.  We had a family reunion to go to and I wanted to try something new.  There is nothing like trying a new recipe on strangers!  It is a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter filling and peanut butter frosting. The peanut butter frosting stays soft and creamy.  My husband liked it so much it scooped some into a bowl and ate it with a spoon.  Pretty soon he was putting it on graham crackers, cake, and declared the recipe a keeper.  That means a lot coming from him! 

I topped it with a hand piped chocolate G for our last name.  We originally had them standing up, but with the high temperatures outside (and we will be outside), we laid them down instead. I like them a lot better standing up but sometimes we have to sacrifice in the name of practicality. 

My Next Project

Anybody who knows me knows how much I adore cupcakes and I love that they are "in style" right now.  I had asked for these cupcake stands for Christmas last year and didn't get them, but I'm going to get them this year!  They make a beautiful display and cupcakes are so much easier than somebody behind a serving table trying to cut cake and make it look presentable all night.  The top is still large enough to place a cake on for the couple to cut and save if they wish.   These are some that a friend in Ohio has done.  I love it!!

Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes

These just might be my new favorite cupcake! The cake is strawberry lemonade flavored and has just enough tang to be light and summery. It is topped in a soft cream cheese frosting that compliments the cake so well. These cupcakes are topped with a fondant flower with an edible pearl center. They are perfect for birthday parties or an extra special gathering with friends.

Snowman Army

I made an army of these snowmen for my daughter's school Christmas party. Cupcakes are perfect for parties and 30 of these will bring a smile to any face! The cupcakes are a white butter cake with wedding bouquet flavored butter cream and each hat is topped with an edible pearl.

Garden Cupcakes

I must have been in the mood for grass when I made these cupcakes. I had just made the soccer cupcakes when I was approached by a parent to make some unique cupcakes for a school carnival. I came up with these and I love them! The animals are sculpted out of fondant and are 100% edible.

Soccer Cupcakes

These special cupcakes were made for the Butterfly Bandits soccer team! To make these 5-year-olds happy, half are chocolate and half are white cupcakes. The chocolate are filled with our Ding-Dong filling while the white cupcakes are filled with vanilla mousse. They are topped with Butter cream "grass" and an edible soccer ball.
