Baby shower cake!!!

Today I made a baby shower cake for my sister's friend from church. Their church is having a baby shower for her. My sister wanted a verse on it so I put Psalm 139:13-14, which psalms 139 is one of my FAV chapters in the bible! It was a lot of writing...its not perfectly straight across but I am hoping they wont care! I am so use to doing fondant flowers that it was a challenge for me to make these buttercream flowers, I am not use to using so much buttercream for decoration...however...i must say I LOVED it and had a blast making this cake! I love pink and purple together and I hope they enjoy it! Its a white almond sour cream cake! Very yummy!

I took many views...(just to warn you)

















Thanks for looking! If you need a cake (family and friends) just let me know! I love doing this for fun! Next cake is coming next week...its a birthday cake for my cousin Laura! Stay tuned!

Love, april

Elmo Cupcakes!!!

Tonight we celebrated Preston's 2nd birthday party! He is our good friend's little son! He LOVES elmo so I made him bright blue cupcakes with little elmo heads on top! He LOVED them and had the icing all over his face! It was so cute! Here are the cupcakes...

More yummy cupcakes...

Yummy yummy cupcakes I made last week for a friend's birthday! We had a surprise birthday party for him at our home after church! Taco salad was the meal and cupcakes were the dessert!

These were SUPER easy! Anyone can make them, if you do not have an icing bag and tip, just use a ziplock bag and cut the tip of one corner off, put your icing in and then start on the outside of the cupcake edge and work in making a swirl pattern!

The cupcakes were just a regular yellow cake and then there was vanilla icing and chocolate icing with different sorts of sprinkles for color! The sad part was I could not eat any of them! :0( boohoohoo for me! :0)

some close-ups

i got excited with the sprinkles...lol

Some birthday and other types of cakes I have made!!!

Here are some of the cakes I have done that are birthday or other types of celebratory cakes!

This cake is my nephew James' 7th birthday cake. He wanted it to be star wars so I put on an edible image! Its his favorite, banana cake, with cream cheese icing!

These next two pics were of the cake that I have already showed you above from my nephews party but I didnt have these pics at the time to post...this one is of the little guy himself, James, at his 7th birthday party about to blow out his candle! The one below is just a close-up of the edible image!

This cake I made for my BIL's birthday! It was his 30th! I believe it was a spice cake! My sister threw him a surprise party for him!

This was my niece's 9th birthday party cake...she had a pool/slumber party! I spent the night with them on her and monica's request and we did a fashion show and I did their make-up. We had so much fun! Her cake is Hannah Montana themed with fondant stars and swirls!



This is a VERY CHOCOLATY cake I made for our pastor's birthday!

Here is a fall version of the above cake that I made for my beautiful sister, Monica's birthday!


Here is a cake I made for doctor's office. The problem was my old dog ate the first version of it and I had to create this in like an hour. It was still VERY warm when I delivered it...so I was not happy with how it turned out but I am sure it was VERY YUMMY!



Here are some sheet cakes I have done...

this one was for a friend of the family, Emily's birthday party which was held at a hotel and they were having a pool party! The pool water is icing gel, the towel,slippers and chairs, girl, ball and lifesaver is fondant! I had fun making this!


This was made for Berean Baptist. Jenni Maples ordered it for her church as they were celebrating their volunteers! I made a round cake to come out of the cake like the earth!

The above client ordered two sheet cakes for her sons graduation. He wanted specific things on it, on this one he wanted the bible, chipotle burrito and a guitar. All made out of fondant and other materials!

This one included his sports he played!

Here is my nephew Noah's 4th birthday party cake! Car's theme!


handsome noah!


I surprised Jim this year with a birthday party and this is the cake I made him!

This is a cake I made for our pastor and his wife's anniversary! I felt bad though because I was in a rush so I did not get to do it like I wanted too!

my first and HOPEFULLY last purse cake...i had lots of problems with it but it turned out ok eventually!

my mom/dad asked me to make my grandma rose a birthday cake last year and this is what I came up with! She loved it!

I LOVE PRESENT CAKES! This was for a bridal shower that the lady wanted it to kind of look like a Tiffany's ring box. I love this cake!

This was for a client's little girl who requested a unicorn, butterfly, dragonfly and rainbow to be on her cake! I brought out my inner girly self to do this one, I loved it!

For a cos student who graduated!

Stay tuned! More to come!
