Dove Cupcakes

Doves are my new favorite bird! After hand cutting over a dozen of these beautiful fondant doves why wouldn't they be my favorite? After finishing this project I almost wanted to go buy some doves to release them! ha! These cupcakes were for a baby shower. The mom to be gave her daughter a Spanish name that means dove. What a lovely graceful name! Vanilla/Chocolate cake, Vanilla buttercream icing, disco dust for sparkle on the fondant hand cut doves. May that sweet baby girl always spread her wings & soar through life!

A Special Horse Cake

I'd have to say that this cake is one of the most meaningful cakes I've ever made. I have waited over a year to get a request from Icing Smiles to make a cake for a child struggling with a medical illness. When I received the call to duty I could barely contain my excitement! Can you believe I had to wait 2 months to make & deliver this cake? I don't know how I managed to wait ha! There is a sweet little girl named Claire who is an amazing fighter. She has been through alot medically and I am happy to report that she is currently doing much better. We are praying that her health continues to improve daily! At the time I made this cake she had never rode a horse but shortly after she had her first horse ride! How cool is that? Nothing beats blessing someone with a cake & making them smile :) Vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream icing, disco dust for sparkle & fondant decorations. Please check out the amazing organization! http://icingsmiles.org/

3D Cars Mcqueen & Mater Cakes

The one & only son I have in my life turned 3 years old recently. He loves the movie Cars so of course requested a Lightening Mcqueen & Mater Cakes. I tried to get him to pick one but his "please please please mommy I want both" won my heart over so I got to work! I am so thankful for this sweet little son I have & I couldn't ask for a better one to share my life with! He loved mater the tow truck the most but his eyes just lit up when he saw both cakes! It was so worth the time & effort to make his special day great! After finishing the first cake & starting the second cake I was AMAZED that he he let the first cake sit on the table until I finished the second one! ONLY a baker's son would let both cakes sit on the table all day until the celebration that night! ha! Any other 3yr old would have had their hands in the cakes as soon as I got them finished! Looking forward to making more cakes for my likkle DJ! Lighting Mcqueen is vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream icing, fondant covered & fondant decorations. Mater is chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream icing, fondant covered & fondant decorations.
