Roaring Dinosaur 3rd Birthday!

My oldest son, Jonathan, just turned three this past week and so we celebrated with 17 of his friends this weekend. He is my little dinosaur and so I created this wish cake/cupcake tower. The wish cake is chocolate cake with orange butter cream filling. It has fondant detailing including green dino scales around the sides, a fondant "Buddy" from Dinosaur Train and a volcano.

The cupcakes are cookies `n cream flavor with butter cream icing and fondant dino detail.

Labor of Love... No Really!

I made thse cupcakes to celebrate the arrival of my second son Henry. I thought it would be fun to have birthday cupcakes on the day he was born for family, friends and the nurses. We were scheduled for a c-section so I knew when I needed them. Ironically, my water broke just a few hours after I finished them and my son came a few hours early... but on the same day we had scheduled him! Now I know the cramping I felt while working on these were labor pains. Everyone love the diaper designed cupcakes especially.

Free of Dairy, Not Style

This cake was so much fun. This was for a six year old little girl who because of dairy allergies had never had a cute birthday cake. Since we BOTH love princesses, I loved crafting this purple and pink princess inspired cake. The bottom tier was a yellow cake and the top tier was chocolate. The dairy free cake was softer and required more supports than your standard cake, but I think it was worth the extra effort to make her day special.
