Mario Brothers Cupcakes

My friend Laura asked me to make her some Mario themed cupcakes for her son's 7th birthday. She sent me a pic. of some done by another artist for inspiration. When I got the picture, I thought, "Wow! That's amazing. I can't possibly do that."


I'm not trying to toot my own horn here, I promise. But, sometimes I am amazed by what I am able to do...what God gifts me to do. I cannot take credit for His gifts.



I can do nothing that God doesn't wield my hands to do.


Often, before I start on a difficult project, I pray that God would guide my hands, give me patience and allow me to glorify him through my talents.


And I always remind myself of the verse, Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. Coll. 3:23.


It's what keeps me bringing my best work forward.

Thomas the Train Cake

I was nervous about making this cake! The last time I tried it, over 2 yrs ago, it was turned out ok...nothing to take pictures of! I was certain that my caking skills had improved in two years time.

But, carving a cake always, always, always makes me nervous!!!

This cake ended up waaaayyyy bigger than I thought it would. It was supposed to feed 35 and I think you could probably get 50 servings out of it.

Cookies, cookies, cookies!

I've been BUSY with some cookies! I have loved getting to create a few new designs.

Valentine's Day inspired Scotties.


Hearts. These were so fun.

These are actually brownies with a fondant overlay.


This is what Asher took to school for his Valentines with a cute little tag that read, "Have a monster-ific Valentine's Day."



Girl's night out/Bachelorette inspired cookies.


Fancy Nancy cookies for my niece's 5th birthday party.



Mickey and Minnie cookies for a sweet 2nd birthday!



You can order any of these cookies (and more!) at my online Etsy Store Here.

Yo Gabba Gabba-Brobee Cake!

I must confess, I'm not terribly familiar with the Yo Gabba Gabba phenomenon. With our limited cable package, most the cartoons I see come on PBS. But, he was a quick study, thank goodness!

Brobee couldn't be any more cute, could he?

Yo Gabba Gabba!

Superhero Cake! Spiderman, Batman and The Hulk!

Somehow this cake didn't make it to the blog until just now. Not sure how I overlooked it, but I did. Busy = Careless? Probably.

This was Asher's 4th birthday cake. Did I slave for hours over it? Not really. Those little plastic super hero figures did most of the work for me! But, I would've put in double duty for my best boy if I needed to!

The only tricky part was getting my red really red. I actually had to use some spray color on it..it was the perfect, quick fix.

The best picture of all? My birthday boy with his cake!

Toy Story Cake -To Infinty and Beyond!

This is another cake that I made weeks ago and am just getting around the posting it. I had this cake on the books the same week I made Maryclaire's 3 tier 1st birthday cake and 3 dozen pretty tree cookies. In hindsight, I guess it was an easy week compared with 45 dozen decorated sugar cookies. But, it was my first time undertaking two cakes in one week, which is my goal for this year (2 baking projects a week).

I would have LOVED to have the time to sculpt these little figures out of fondant, but I just didn't have the time! All in all, I thought it turned out pretty cute.

I found the the little figures at Party City. They were being clearanced out so I stocked up on them just in case I have another order for a Toy Story themed cake.

What's inside? White cake with strawberry buttercream and fresh strawberries.

Harry Potter Cake

I have neglected my caking blog terribly. I guess you could say I've been too busy making goodies to post about them! That's definitely a good thing for my little business!

My niece turned 10 around Thanksgiving and wanted a cake that looked like Harry Potter's robe.

I was nervous about carving a cake, but this one wasn't so complicated.

I love the way the fondant gave it a smooth look and I didn't have to fuss with trying to make the buttercream perfect over all those curves!

That same week I also made over 100decorated cookies...cute little owls, pumpkins, fall leaves, and lots of Christmas designs! It was so busy I didn't even have time for a picture!

Eli's Construction Cake

My nephew, Eli, turned 3 over the weekend. He wanted a "dirt truck" cake, aka dump truck cake.


There are always things about a cake I would change after I finish. For example, after I iced the bottom tier yellow, I wishes I had iced it blue and then I could have made some fondant clouds and trees for a scene look. Oh well, maybe next time, right. At any rate, Eli liked it and that's what counts!

Happy First Birthday!

This was one of my biggest projects yet. My friend Kelly asked me to do this for her son's first birthday. She designed the cake and I carried it out. This one of super difficult, but really stretched my skills. I loved it!

What's inside? Almond sour cream cake filled with butter cream icing and covered in marshmallow fondant. It was heavy!

Construction Cake

Every little boy loves construction vehicles, or in my own little boy's words, mighty machines!

What's inside? Chocolate and yellow cake, filled with raspberry mousse and frosted with butter cream icing.

Super Hero Cake

I love this cake...it was made for my special little Super Hero! Asher wanted a Batman, Spiderman and Hulk cake-all his favorite Super Heroes! This was super fun to make.

What's inside? Chocolate and yellow cake filled and frosted with buttercream icing.
