Mom to Mom Cupcakes
Sweet treats for sweet ladies! I did these at the last minute for my Mom to Mom group dinner. I just can't help myself I guess! These are white cupcakes with butter cream icing and homemade fondant brown and pink decorations. My favorite is the pregnant belly cupcake! That was fun to sculpt.
Purple Bridal Shower Cupcakes
The design for these cupcakes were inspired by the invitation to the bridal shower which was white with purple swirling vines. I found out the bride used daisies on her wedding invitation and her married inital and also incorporated them into these whimsical cupcakes. These had an adult flavor of amaretto cake topped with butter cream and homemade marshmallow fondant. These were fun to make and to eat from what I'm told!

Citra Natal Cakes
My best friend is a pharmaceutical sales representative for the company that sells the CitraNatal prenatal vitamins. While I was home recently she wanted me to make two cakes for some of the OBGYN offices that she visits. These cakes are inspired by the vibrant colored gerber daisies on the marketing materials for the vitamins. The cakes were neapolitan with buttercream icing and homemade fondant decoration. I'm happy to report that these cakes generated the office buzz she was hoping for!
