Three Cheers for Cake!
This cake brought back memories from my childhood! I loved to cheer and loved making this cake for Alysse. It is an Oreo cookie cake with a berry Oreo cookie filling. It is frosted with vanilla butter cream and decorated with fondant stars, polka dots and pom poms. It is topped with a modeling chocolate sculpture of a cheering Alysse! Super fun and girlie!
July is full of birthdays in our family. My beloved sister-in-law and my husband's birthday are a week apart so we celebrated them together this year. For Brana, I created a vanilla cake with raspberry lemon butter cream filling with a chocolated ganache poured frosting with fresh raspberry accents. My husband wanted our family crest on a cake, so I made a amaretto bavarian cream cake with buttercream frosting and made the family crest out of fondant. Lots of sweets for my sweeties!!!
Elephants on Parade!
My very good friend is having a girl and her new room is decorated with elephants, so I used them for inspiration for her baby shower. I created the cake based on a piece of art work used in the baby's nursery. It was a vanilla pound cake with raspberry lemon zest butter cream with a fondant elephant and ribbon. So cute and soooo good!
The elephant cupcakes were favors for the guests. I personally loved them!
Handbag Cake
Happy Birthday to my Mom to hit a milestone birthday in July. She loves to shop for hand bags so this was a great cake for her. It is a vanilla pound cake filled with a raspberry lemon buttercream and decorated with chocolate fondant. This cake was special for a wonderful mom!
