College Oreos

Hi! I am busy getting ready for Christmas but there has been lots of excitement in college football! My college themed oreos have been very popular and I have lots more to make. With the bowl games coming up and many high school seniors receiving college acceptances.... it is a great time to order some oreos. Here are some Clemson and South Carolina oreos! I alternate with chocolate and white chocolate coatings and usually couple of decorations! They can also be paired with cakeballs and sugar cookies for trays of treats!

Playstation 3 Grooms Cake

This was a short notice grooms cake. All fondant covered. The game was a sugar cookie covered with an edible image. Bride was pleased with the cake.

Carolina Nurse Graduation

This was a cake for Jennifer's graduation. It was a lot of fun to make. Cake travelled to Chapel Hill for her party. Cake is buttercream with fondant/gumpaste decorations.

Sushi Cake

This was a really fun cake to make. I've never eaten sushi so I had to look up some things to use on the cake. I added chopsticks to place in front of the cake. I was happy with how the cake turned out.

Spring Open House

Just a reminder... my Spring Open House will be on Saturday, April 9th from 10 - 2. I will have a variety of cakes to sample and will be taking orders for Easter/Mother's Day/Graduations... I should have cakes, cookies, cupcakes and cakeballs.... looking too warm for chocolate at this point. Tell your friends, children are welcome!

Cardinal Baseball Birthday

This was a cake for Austin's 13th birthday. He is a St. Louis Cardinal's fan. He's got a pennant, cap, bats, cardinal, logo and a white chocolate baseball on top. Stars on wires ("pokies") were added on site. I hope that he enjoyed his birthday cake!

Melissa's Baby Shower

Many of you have seen the wedding cake that I made for Melissa. It was inspired by her wedding dress. Well, now Melissa is pregnant and expecting a baby boy in April. Her mother asked me to make the cake for her baby shower. We used the napkins for the inspiration.

Her mother emailed me: "Just wanted to let you know that the cake was a big hit. Melissa loved it and everyone thought it was adorable. It was amazing how well you were able to match it to the theme we were using. Thanks so much".

Credit for the photo goes to Andrea. I was able to find the napkins online which helped when I decorated the cake.

Wine Bottle Cake

This is my first attempt at a wine bottle cake. Overall, I was pleased with it. I certainly learned while I was doing it. The crate is fondant over buttercream. The bottle is buttercream. The white shavings in the crate are grated white chocolate. I used the imprint from a bottle of wine from Owl's Eye Winery to make the impression on the top of the bottle (can't see it in the photo). My husband helped to carve the wine bottle!

Brandon's Bud Light

This is Brandon's Bud Light cake. I heard from Ali that he really liked it. I learned a lot from this cake. The next one will be better!

40th Birthdays

I've been making quite a few 40th birthday cakes! (I have one that is underway for tomorrow). This is one of my favorites... it was for Katie's 40th birthday. Cake was short notice and I didn't have a lot of time to think about it but I was pleased with the result. Let me know what you think.

Well... more soon...
