Busiest Weekend Yet

As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm pretty sure the last weekend in February was my busiest cake weekend to date. I've included everything from that weekend with the exception of Kelsi's cake (previous post) in this post so I appologize in advance for this being so long.

The weekend started out with a request for a little guy who loves drums and The Fresh Beat Band. Now I have to admitt, The Fresh Beat Band wasn't on the top of my favorite kid show list BUT after watching it a few times for research Isaac and I couldn't get their songs out of our heads! We ended up having such a fun time decorating this cake

The top tier of this cake was chocolate and the bottom tier white cake. It was iced with buttercream but as you can see had A LOT of fondant work.

And just in case you hadn't figured it out, the top tier is a drum and the bottom a keybord. The keys are colored to match the bright colors of The Fresh Beats!

Next up was a mini cake/cupcake combo ordered by my sweet friend Jessica for a bridal shower she was hosting. The colors for the shower were pink and brown.
I topped half the cupcakes with a basic flower

And the others with little bows

And this is what everything looked like together. I really loved this. From the simple yet stylish design to the flavor, chocolate & chocolate....YUM!



NEXT UP..Park Place Kids Birthday Cupcakes

The last Sunday of each month the childrens ministry at our church gives cupcakes to all the kids who have celebrated a birthday during that month. Guess who their baker is???
The birthday cupcakes are white with classic buttercream and usually topped with some sort of seasonal sprinkle then individually boxed. Lately I have been doing a seasonal cutout with my Cricut to top the boxes.

Since Valentines Day had passed and Easter was still a while off I went with something neutral but fun!





I know this has nothing to do with cupcakes but I decorated the gift bag for one of the birthday parties we attended that weekend. I thought it was cute and wanted to share :)

Moving right along...this was another first time request for VeroniCakes. The birthday boy had requested a Michael Jordan themed cake for his party. Normally I would have suggested a basketball but I'd already made a basketball cake for this little guys cousin so I wanted him to have something different. I chose a basketball jersey in the colors of The Bulls

This was chocolate cake with buttercream. The letters, numbers, and trim were fondant

Happy 5th Birthday Walker!








Last but certainly not least I wanted to make up a little something as a gift for a very special friend of mine, Carey. Something just for her that she didn't have to share! :)

This was a white cake with chocolate filling iced with classic buttercream. I topped it with fondant ribbon roses and leaves that I dusted with luster dust.

Happy Birthday Carey!!!!
