Happy First Birthday Carson!

It's a somewhat strange feeling to be making birthday cakes for the children of the people I went to school with, there are times I feel like it was just yesterday we were all still at RHS together.

A friend, Kim, and her husband Mike asked me to make the cake for there son Carson's first birthday earlier this month. It's quite an honor to be able to help make such a special day even more special. Kim told me she was thinking of doing a Mickey Mouse party and we both agreed to search around for ideas. On the same day we came across the same design so it was destined that it was what Carson's cake was made to look like.

The cake we found was a fondant cake. While I have done a few fondant cakes I was not comfortable going larger than an 8 inch for this design, so we also decided to add some cupcakes to the order.

This is by far my favorite cake I have ever made. I was pretty nervous about making sure it was perfect for such a big day and I was delighted by the way it turned out!

Happy First Birthday Carson! I look forward to making all your upcoming birthday's just a little more special!

Herrmann Wedding

Earlier this year one of my mom's co-workers approached me and asked if I would be interested in making cakes for her June wedding. I of course am always up for a challenge so I said yes. She had seen a picture of the cakes I did for one of my best friend, Kaylee's, wedding last summer and said she wanted the same thing.

Because she was having nearly 250 guests I suggested adding 120 cupcakes to her order to insure there would be enough cake for everyone. I was pleased to see there was not a cupcake or morsel of cake left at the wedding which meant it was as delicious as I had hoped!

The cakes were chocolate, carrot, and lemon Poppy seed all frosted with buttercream frosting.
