Free Cupcakes = Beautiful Pictures

My friend Jennifer is in a photography class. She asked for pink cupcakes to take some pics. I told her I'd do them for free if she let me use the pictures. She delivered... boy do these look delicious!

Paisley Wedding Shower Cake

Cherry Blossom Birthday

This lovely cake is for a friend of a friend. Her birthday is on St. Patrick's Day (today!), and she loves Asian culture. So, we combined with a green cherry blossom cake. And the cake itself -- GREEN velvet cake. Fun!

Delicious Chocolate Birthday Cake

My friend Jennifer got to thinking about my chocolate cakes. Her son was the recipient of the Curious George cake below. Well, the thought of the cake got to be too overwhelming in light of her coming birthday, and she had an "All I Want for Christmas" moment and decided that the only thing that would do for her birthday was the chocolate cake. And I can say this, because it's not my original recipe: This chocolate cake is RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME. I couldn't blame her. What could I do? I obliged.

Elegant Baby Shower

January 30th, 2010. Baby shower cake. Handmade fondant flowers and spirals. Handmade fondant lettering.

Teddy Bear First Birthday

My friend's kid bites the noses off his teddy bears. Well, he's one, okay? Give him time. But I thought I'd give him a bear nose that would actually taste good when he bit it off. Donovan, I love you kid. Tell your mom thanks for letting me make your first birthday cake ever. Hand piped bear over cupcake top. Fondant cut out decorations on cake side. Separate whole cupcake bear for the little guy to get all over his face.
