Great Cake & Great Compliments

I delivered a cake today to Christian Village for a young lady who turned 85! What a special birthday to celebrate!! Sharon asked me to make a cake so that the residents at Christian Village could help her to celebrate her special day.

I really appreciate the recent cake orders from Sharon and also the wonderful compliments that she pays me for my cakes.  I love having wonderful customers to bake for!  Thanks again Sharon!

Fun Cupcakes

These adorable cupcakes were a blast to make! A friend of mine has a daughter that turned 15 & these cuties were made for her.  We made the wrappers together and then I baked and iced the cupcakes to match the designs and colors. Each one was a little different. Hopefully I will have more pictures of the finished product soon!

A bunch of the cupcakes without wrappers.  Just adorable!!!

 

 

Mini's

Cute little mini cupcakes I threw together on Sunday evening
to take to work for "treat day" on Monday. 
Fun & super easy to make!

  

Cupcakes, Cupcakes, Cupcakes!!!

It seems as though cupcakes seem to be the latest craze in my baking world.  Over the last week I've made three different batches of cupcakes.  Here is a picture of my first order...

Lemon with Lemon Buttercream Frosting, Chocolate with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting, Vanilla with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting & French Vanilla Cupcakes w/ Strawberry Cream Frosting and Vanilla Frosting.

My Faves!

Pictures of my favorite creations so far...

  

Some of My Past Creations

This was certainly a fun cake to make.  I free-handed the logo from a picture.  It's been so long ago that I don't remember what flavor this cake was but it was cute!

The next was a cake that I made for a couple who was celebrating their 70th Wedding Anniversary.  The Mason City Nursing Home had a cake for the couple to celebrate their special day! What an amazing celebration it must have been!  Hopefully one day I will be there... that seems so far away!

 

Golf Cake

This was another cake I did for a birthday.  The birthday boy liked to play golf as a hobby.  It was a fun cake to make.  Rumor has it that the cake was "yummy" too!

This was a chocolate, double layer cake with vanilla frosting.

Cupcakes!!!

As much as I love to decorate cakes, I think my favorite is to bake and decorate cupcakes. They are so cute & so fun!  These were made for a friend for a party she was throwing.  Starting with the closest toward the back flavors are...

• French Vanilla Cupcake with a Strawberry Cream filling and a Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting

• Chocolate Cupcake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

• Chocolate Cupcake with Caramel Buttercream Frosting, a Caramel drizzle and topped with a few chopped nuts (my fave!)

• French Vanilla Cupcake with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Yummy!
