Hannah Montana

I was recently put to the challenge. Make a birthday cake? NO PROBLEM! Make it sugar free? BRING IT ON!!! I have never used, eaten, let alone purchased Splenda in my life! I did my research and tried a few recipes (which I wasn't pleased with) and went with my yellow cake recipe and just substituted the sugar for Splenda. The texture was a bit more like pound cake, but was still yummy. Trial and error will continue until it is mastered! The theme was Hannah Montana for the party. What four year old doesn't love Hannah Montana? The cake was iced in Splenda Chocolate icing and decorated with my marshmallow fondant. I used pink, white, and teal to create a guitar, stars, and the HM initials. Super cute and super fun!

Girls Night Out!

I had the pleasure of creating the bachelorette cake of my choice all the way from the cake, icing, and design! I opted for my classic pound cake with raspberry buttercream and topped with my marshmallow fondant in hot pink with green accents. The cake was adorned with a martini glass! The girls were going out for a night on the town in Atlanta to the piano bar before the bride to be was to become a married woman!

Birthday Cakes

There have been lots of HAPPY BIRTHDAYS lately so here are some of my yummy, classic creations!

The Lydia Project

Last night I participated in The Lydia Project's 6th Annual Dessert Auction and Cake Design Contest. All proceeds go to help women with cancer. This event was an absolute blast. I donated Cake Balls and Cake Pops decorated purple for their colors. I also entered a cake in the contest. The cake was my pound cake with raspberry butter cream filling and marshmallow fondant. The cake features a hat box with the Lydia purse decorated with items needed by the foundation such as stamps, note cards, pens, lotion, and stamps.

Happy Birthday To You!

After all of the birthdays, I am finally uploading the new pictures! Over the last month, I have done 3 birthday cakes all for special ladies! The first was for Emma's 9th birthday party. Her theme was polka dots, so I created a two-tiered cake with marshmallow fondant, full of polka dots using the colors from her party napkins! The bottom tier was my chocolate fudge cake with butter cream and the top tier was red velvet cake with cream cheese. YUMMY!

The next cake was for Madelyn's 9th birthday party. Her party was a "Peace" theme. This cake my homemade pound cake with bright pink butter cream. It was topped with a tie-dye fondant peace sign and tie-dyed fondant flowers. Peace!

The last birthday cake was for a co-workers birthday. She was going to Disney World to celebrate her birthday, so she wanted to share a cake with her students. This cake was also my homemade pound cake with light pink butter cream (chosen by her daughter) and adorned with yellow butter cream flowers.


I just love making everyone's birthdays special!
