Toadstool Baby Shower

I was yet again lucky to have the pleasure and honor of making a cake for a friend who was about to become a new mommy!  The theme for this show . . . yep you guessed it gnomes and toadstools!  This was my first time ever attempting to make a toadstool cake.


The cake is a red velvet cake, filled with a cream cheese frosting and iced with vanilla butter cream.  It was then covered and decorated with MMF.  The gnome is a figurine I found at Hobby Lobby and the amazing cake stand was hand made by my extremely talented father-in-law!

Oh How Tweet! Sarah's Sprinkle

This weekend I hosted a baby shower for my sister.  With it being her 3rd child she didn't want anything huge and over the top, so we had a sprinkle instead!   

This is the cake I made for her, it coordinated with her invites.  The cake was a chocolate fudge cake.  Then the layers alternated with chocolate pudding and chocolate whipped icing.  Each layer also had sliced strawberries.  It was then covered in chocolate MMF.  At the decor was made from MMF and then hand painted.  TFL!

Baby Anisten! - Great Expectations II

This cake was for one of my phenomenal friends baby showers!  The top tier was a strawberry cake with a whipped cream filling and the bottom tier was yellow cake with chocolate mousse.  The cake is covered in and decorated in MMF.  Her shower theme was Great Expectations.  This was my first time making a 3-D umbrella and mini bows.  The board was covered in MMF and I used Star Power Fondant Imprint Mat.  Each of the circles, ribbons, and dots on the umbrella was dusted with edible silver dust.  TFL

Celebrating Baby Kaylee - Mia Rose Cake

Sorry this picture is sideways.  I've tried EVERYTHING to get it right side up!!!!!!!!  I made this cake for one of my BEST friends baby shower.  She is expecting her first child (Kaylee) and I was blessed enough to be asked to make the cake!!!!!!  Her shower theme was . . . you guessed it pink and brown.  So I chose to base her cake off of her baby bedding CoCaLo Mia Rose

The top tier was a 4" cake which I made from pound cake.  The middle tier was strawberry cake with a chocolate mousse filling.  While the bottom was death by chocolate, dark chocolate cake with chocolate mousse.  All the layers were iced in chocolate butter cream.  The 3 tiers are covered and decorated in fondant.  The pink fondant is strawberry MMF and the brown fondant is chocolate MMF.  The name plate, butterflies and middle tier were all hand painted.  I had SO much fun with this cake, it's the first one in a while that I haven't had any instructions and got to just design and go.

Dr. Seuss New Fish Baby Shower

Great Expectations!

My very good friend Sarah wanted me to make her sister's baby shower cake. She was using the decorations and invitations from the Great Expectations line and wanted the cake to co-ordinate.  This was a 6" cake (they were also having cupcakes).  The cake was covered in and decorated with MMF.
