Princess cake

I have the privilege of working with a group of amazing young women and recently we had a night to honor them and some projects they've been working hard on accomplishing. The theme was "Daughters of a King" so I did this princess tiara cake to remind them of their divine nature and how special they really are!

It was a triple chocolate fudge cake with chocolate fudge buttercream filling and chocolate buttercream icing, all covered in fondant.

This amazing lady ordered a cake for a hospice nurses meeting she was attending. As my family recently had need of hospice this was a little more personal for me and I was so glad I got to do it! It was a fudge marble cake with chocolate buttercream. The center decoration was fondant.

Baby shower cupcakes!

Side Note: If you haven't heard yet, I stink with a camera. I don't have a super nice one because my skills consist of aiming in the general direction and clicking, and that's all she wrote.  Plus, a couple years ago when our old camera was thrown off a table by our then one year old we got a new one and it takes forever to actually take the picture. This usually results in pictures with smiles that have faded, cute poses gone awry and off center photos. But my main problem is that I simply forget about it. I pack the diaper bag with every necessity under the sun and I haul everything I could possibly need to a cake delivery.  Yet when I get where I'm going and think it would be the perfect time for a picture that darn camera is nowhere to be found! Sigh.

Anyway, to the point...I forgot my camera when I took cupcakes to two different baby showers, but luckily the same sweet girl was at both and snapped pictures for me.

The first was for a mom-to-be who was having a girl! They were lemon cupcakes with strawberry buttercream and chocolate buttercream. Some had white and pink gumpaste flower decorations and others had pink sprinkles.

The second was a double baby shower for moms that were both having boys! They were white cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. The circles said "Cute-As-A-Button" and had blue and brown fondant buttons.
