And this year I got to make one for the daughter of a friend who graduated high school this spring. Their request was turquoise and zebra – and “can it be sparkly”? So I got myself an airbrush, played around and ended up spraying the bottom tier a pearly color. Its not as easy to tell in the pic but boy in the sun it sparkled!
Back in June of 2007 I was asked to make a bridal shower cake for my wonderful cousin, Aly. This cake pic has had a home at the top of the blog since day 1 and I get SO many comments on that cake. Well now 3 yrs later we are celebrating the soon to be born baby to this wonderful couple! 
So of course I was excited to do the baby shower cake! I went off of the party ware they had purchased ~ see a pic below to compare Cake is all buttercream except the birds and nest, which are gumpaste.
For June birthday’s at my husband’s work I created a variety of flavored cupcakes. On the menu were:
* Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting and Chocolate-Marshmallow Filling
* Lime Cupcakes with Coconut frosting and toasted coconut
* Chocolate Cupcakes dipped in Chocolate Ganache and topped with Mint Frosting and a chocolate leaf
I had the honor of making my mom’s wedding cake in early June. She requested the floating tiers and said she was using pink but otherwise let me do as I wished. So I ended up getting myself some new cutters to learn peonies and added in the hydrangeas and roses I already knew. The rest of the cake is buttercream. The hydrangea blossoms on the side are gumpaste like the top flowers. These tiers were 8″, 10″ and 12″.
A friend loved the cake at the top of the blog (brown/green one with the calla lilies) but wanted it in colors to match their party ware. So this is what we did
These cupcakes were for my daughter for her school birthday. She wanted chocolate frosting and flowers on them like she’d seen me do in the past.
Another cake for my husband’s work… 6″, 8″ and a single layer 10″. Fondant covered with fondant flowers.
