Edible Flower Garden
My “sugar sweet bouqet” cake pops ended up linked to Mothers Day Flower Baskets for edible floral arrangements for your mom for Mother’s Day. After checking out their post, I was in LOVE with the idea of making my cupcakes look like flowers and off I went to make my own Cupcake Flower Bouqet. They remind me of a little flower garden, except instead of picking the flowers to smell them, you get to eat them.
These would be darling for a cupcake wedding or a baby shower or even a birthday party. Planter pots could be set up as the cupcake stands.
Cupcake: Strawberry and Espresso Chocolate
Icing: Straberry buttercream and Buttercream (tinted purple and orange)
Mother’s Day Cake
What symbolizes Mother’s Day better than a dainty flower cake? Too bad cake doesn’t ship well or that would be my go-to gift for my mom and my mother-in-law every year. I’m sure they’re holding their breath for their gifts. Which miiiight end up being late. Better late than never! 
Cake: Chocolate
Icing: Strawberry Buttercream
Covering: Fondant with gumpaste embellishments

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

Hello Spring!
Welcome back Spring! We’ve missed you all year long. Bring on the warm weather and sunny days. Well, just make sure they aren’t TOO warm…a nice mid 70′s would be just perfect.
To celebrate the first day of Spring the boys and I are going to meet Bernie for lunch while my husband goes to work. I’m hoping to convince Bernie to take the leap and follow her passion to become a wedding planner. Just do it Bernie! And then we’re spending the rest of the day “Spring Cleaning”. But lets be honest…my Spring Cleaning is going to consist of putting clothes away. Maybe. 
I wanted the flower toppers to all be different to similate the uniqueness of real flowers so I hand cut them out. I then cut out a circle around the letters and hand marked the designs to make them look like sewing stitches.
Cupcakes: Chocolate
Icing: Chocolate Buttercream
Dirt: Crumbled chocolate cookies

Hailey’s Gerbera Daisy Bridal Shower Cake
Hailey is a dear friend of our family. She used to be our “nanny” for our first son when he was teeny tiny and I had to work. She is a darling girl and she has turned into this mature woman who is getting married in May!
I was thrilled to make her bridal shower cake. Her wedding flowers are Gerbera daisies and her colors are pink, orange and green (all in the almost neon tone).
Congratulations Hailey!
Cake: Chocolate Fudge
Icing: Vanilla Buttercream
Covering: Fondant
Flowers: Gum paste Gerbera Daisies
