Camp Rock – Birthday Cake – Birthday Cupcakes – King City, CA

My FABOOSH hair stylist ordered another cake.  He’s the best uncle in the world.  His neice and nephew were having birthdays and they were celebrating them together.  One of them is SUPER into the Jonas Brothers and the other into Camp Rock.  

I made everything coordinating using boy and girl colors.  Their guitars are made out of gumpaste and covered with luster dust to make them sparkle.  Each of them has their own little record (which of course will go platinum ), saying Happy Birthday.   Marbled fondant rocks and fondant sticks line the bottom tier.  There is even a little fondant fire on the side for them to toast marshmallows and make smore’s. 

The flavors in the cake were chocolate with banana icing and carrot with cream cheese icing.  With the cake were two dozen cupcakes, with the intial of each and in the same colors reflected on the cake.

Happy Birthday Serenity and Andrew!

Monkey is One – Birthday Cupcakes – Marina, CA

This little mini cake and cupcakes has a special place in my heart.  Kim was my very very very very first client.  I had posted an ad on craigslist, I had zero pictures of my work, and was hungry for a job.  She contacted me to make her a wedding cake since her and her husband were eloping.  I was thrilled beyond belief when she stumbled across my site again and asked me to make cupcakes and a mini cake for her son’s first birthday party.

My favorite part of the cake was the monkey topper.  He’s just so squeezeable.  I want to keep him as a pet!

Happy First Birthday Ethan!!!

Cupcakes/Cake:  Chocolate and Vanilla

Sylvia called me after the party and said everyone loved the cupcakes!

Can’t wait to make another sweet treat for this amazing family.

Pharmacy School Graduation Cupcakes

Dr. Travis Rose. 

That is now Amy’s husbands official title. 

He graduated from Pharmacy school this past weekend and in order to celebrate the occassion, they were throwing a brunch and no brunch is complete without cupcakes for dessert!  Amy and I threw a few ideas around and decided on making a grad cap, diploma, pills and RX pad for the cupcake toppers.  She was so great to work with and it was fun to see the table come together!

Congratulations to you both!!!  If I ever need pills…..LOL.  I kid, I kid.

Cupcakes:  Chocolate and Strawberry

Icing:  Standard Buttercream

Toppers:  Diploma and grad cap- paper; pills – fondant with the words impressed; RX pad- fondant with edible ink prescription

There are also cookie bags for the kiddos- I did them in a surf/beach theme.  They are M&M/chocolate chip cookies with a surfboard nametag.

Happy May Day!

I love May.  Not only is it my birthday month, but May rejuvenates me.  It seems like the air changes, the flowers come out, the weather stays nice, and good things happen!   

Shyla had called me a month or so ago wanting cupcakes for her daughters birthday party.  It didn’t end up working out and she called the other day and ordered a dozen cupcakes just because.    I made her these delectible delights topped with a flower in honor of May Day.  It seemed appropriate to have an edible “flower basket”. 

Cupcake:  Red Velvet

Icing:  Buttercream

Topper:  Gumpaste flowers
