Cake Stand

I've been seeing so many homemade cake stands on Pinterest, so I decided to make one myself! I just bought a plain white plate from Walmart. I bought the one with ridges on the side because I thought it looked classy! The bottom is made from a .97 cent glass vase, also from Walmart! The most expensive thing was the spray paint. I went ahead and bought the good kind because I wanted to make sure it worked good! Next time I may try a cheaper brand! I hot glued the two together and wallah!! I have a cake stand! All in all I'm pleased!! I'll be using it this weekend for a birthday party so I'll have pictures up by Monday!

Circus Cake

Circus Cake

The Circus Cake went better than I thought it was going to! If I hadn't have had my husband helping me it would have been a lot more difficult! I finally worked with fondant and it was easier to work with than I was expecting! I'm ready to cover a whole cake in it!! I will post pictures soon of the cake!

Thankful

Thankful for my amazing friends! They have been spreading word about me and I now have a small wedding cake I'm making for next weekend!! As always pictures to come!


Super excited to get started on this circus cake! Yesterday I attempted to dye some Fondant and now I have red hands and pink Fondant?! Not sure how that happened! It looks a little better today!! Hopefully I can get it to look red by tomorrow!! I can't wait to post pictures! This will be my first Themed cake!!

Circus Time!!

I got a text message last night asking me if i could make a cake for a Baby Shower this coming weekend!! It's a circus theme! I'm soo excited because this will be the first time I'll be working with fondant!! Joe and I stayed up late last night trying to devise a plan haha! Pictures to come! I'll be practicing this week!

Cupcakes

Cupcakes

These are the Mocha Cupcakes with Espresso Buttercream Icing! I made tiny chocolate mugs to go on top!!

I was really happy with the flavor of the icing, but I wasn't as happy with the cupcake. I believe next time I make them I will just make chocolate cupcakes!! This was the first time I've attempted making decorations out of chocolate!


*I got the recipes from Pinterest!

Coming Soon

It's been a while since I've posted anything. My husband has been out of town so I've been really busy having Westyn by myself! I'm hoping to get back into the groove of things soon. I have two things in mind that I want to make. First, is a Mocha Cupcake with Espresso Buttercream icing! Yum!!! I hope it turns out good! I have an idea to make it my own and give it a little pop! Second, is a Naked Cake! I'm still trying to figure out what icing to use on this one to hold up all the cake! I will post pictures of these as I make them! Stay tuned!
