Giving Thanks Never Tasted So Sweet!

Cornucopia Cake

And so it begins, the season of turkey, ham, potatoes, corn, green bean casserole, cranberries, toasted pecans, and of course…. cake! Nothing makes a more beautiful (and tasty) centerpiece than a cornucopia cake, spilling half a dozen fondant covered cupcakes. This cake was large enough to feed a group of 25 and something that everyone saved room for! It was four layers of cake, filled with raspberry mousse and chocolate mousse. Then it was covered in chocolate buttercream and decorated with fondant leaves and flowers. There was not a loose fitting pant by the end of this Thanksgiving inspired dinner party and somehow everyone was okay with that!

A Happy, Happy Birthday!

Madelyn's Cake

What could make a three year old more happy than purple butterflies, pink flowers and a cake covered in purple buttercream? Well, according to little Maddie, nothing could top that! She has a love for butterflies, which definitely showed when she was a Butterfly for Halloween! Having a birthday party the same day as trick-or-treating was quite a dream come true for this young lady. Her cake was a quarter sheet of marbled white and chocolate cake, topped with buttercream, candy crystal sugar sprinkles, fondant butterflies and flowers and the finishing touch.. lots of edible glitter! She blew out three purple, glittery candles that day. Something tells me this is going to be a good year for her!
