Happy Birthday - Fleur de Lis

Cake order - Chocolate cake with mocha buttercream frosting which includes - ESPRESSO!  The design is a shell border and a fleur de lis on the top and sides with some teal sugar pearls pressed into the sides.  The lettering is piped out in royal icing, dried, and then placed on top of the cake.

Decorated Cookies - Martial Arts

I usually decorate sugar cookies, but the tea cakes are a hit as well.  These were requested for Father's Day for a dad who is a martial arts instructor.

Teacakes - with Martial Arts Man

Teacakes - with Royal Icing Swords

So in order to make these sturdy enough to hold icing, I reduced the number of eggs I used.  I also made the edible decorations (the martial arts-man and the swords) using royal icing and then adhered them to the cookies using just a dot of royal icing.  Well, they were a hit!

White Cake

Here is a taste test cake for an upcoming order.  This is a scratch made white cake with a real butter cream frosting and a raspberry filling.  The border is a purple and white ribbon and the cake is accessorized with some silk flowers.

The cake itself actually tastes similar to my sugar cookie recipe.  Because it is so sweet, it should be paired with a lighter icing and some summer berries.

Teal Mini Cake

Here is a mini vanilla cake with more scroll work.  Again the color theme was teal and I included some butter cream roses.

Teal Cupcakes

Wow what a weekend!  I have been baking since Thursday night! I enjoyed it though.  So here I have some vanilla cupcakes with vanilla icing.

Vanilla Cupcakes with Teal Icing

I had some leftover batter and some icing from icing other cakes, so I thought I would take the time to make a pretty cupcake!  Now, with this icing, I folded in some of the chantilly cream I made to go in between the layers.
