Rachel and Mike's Wedding

This weekend was the second wedding cake/cupcake tower I did for June. It was for our friends Mike and Rachel and this was my wedding gift to them! I think they enjoyed it a lot...and Mike loved the Redskins groom's cupcakes ;-)

What a great wedding you two :) Enjoy the honeymoon!!

Jen's 30th Birthday

We had great time rocking out with our friends for Jen's 30th birthday. My favorite quote by Holly, "We have ace of frickin' cakes coming!!"

Here's the cake and cupcakes I put together. My only inspiration was the candles. So I went with that color palate - blue, purple, lime green and black. For some reason zebra came to mind and this is what I came up with. All cake, frosting, and fondant used to cover the cake is homemade. I did use store bought fondant for the bow and curls because it's sturdier :)

Blue and Orange

My friend Ashley ordered some cupcakes for her friend's birthday. She was having a bowling party and her bowling ball is orange and blue. I didn't go all out with the bowling theme but stuck more with the colors instead. I topped the cupcakes off with the letters to spell out "Happy Birthday Amanda" and cut out some fondant bowling balls and pins. I also had an extra 6 inch cake left over that I decorated to match the cupcakes. I topped it off with fun swirl roses.

The Cupcakes:

~Red Velvet w/ cream cheese frosting

~Vanilla Bean

~Mango Citrus (a citrus zest cake with mango curd filling and mango butter cream frosting)

The Cake: Almond cake w/ a vanilla raspberry mouse. Covered with traditional buttercream and topped with homemade rolled fondant. The flowers and leaves are also fondant.
