Petite and Dainty Yellow Swirls – Birthday Cake

miriya-bday-cake

This cake was made for sweet Miraya, (remember, Sylvia’s daughter) for her birthday.  Sylvia left the design up to me and as I  immediately thought of this.  Miraya is such a gorgeous person, on the inside and out.  She is so nice and sweet and I am so blessed to know her and her family.  I wanted her birthday cake to reflect how I see her as a person, dainty and pretty.  :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIRAYA!

Cake:  Vanilla Pound Cake

Icing:  Buttercream with fresh strawberries placed on top

Covering:  Buttcream with whimsical piping detail, fondant ribbon and a sugar rose.

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

It’s a Boy! Baby Shower Cake

I have only had two amazing hair stylists in my life.  One was in Nashville and short lived because I got transferred to Texas for work.  And then I found Albert.  He makes me look and feel like a million dollars.  My self esteem literally peaks at level highs when I leave his salon.  A few weeks ago when I got my hair done I was jabbering on and on about my business and last week he contacted me and asked me to do a baby shower cake for his girlfriend’s sister. 

I was overjoyed to do a cake for him…well, him indirectly since he wasn’t the one actually HAVING the baby.

But I digress.

I set off to make them a tasty and beautiful peice of edible art.

Congrats on your little bundle of love!

Cake:  Chocolate

Icing:  Buttercream

Covering:  Fondant with fondant embellishments

Extras:  Baby Booties made of rice krispie treats and covered in gumpaste
