Jukebox Cake

A Rockin' and Rollin' Good-Bye

I made this cake for my co-worker who is leaving to move on to future endeavors. This will be his going away cake. I decided to do a Jukebox because he is very into music and likes retro items. The cake is a devil's food cake with vanilla filling. It is iced with chocolate buttercream icing. All the decorations are made with buttercream icing.

Milee's 5th Birthday

Everything Disney
My daughter had a Disney themed party. After going to Disneyland for her birthday, she knew she wanted a Minnie Mouse cake. This was my take on a Minnie Mouse cake for her. She LOVED it! The bottom cake is a yellow cake with a chocolate buttercream filling. The top cake is a devil's food cake. Both cakes are iced with buttercream frosting. The ears on the top cake are butter cookies covered in rolled buttercream. The only non-edible part of the cake is the bow on the top cake. The top cake is suppose to be minnie mouse ears, like those you purchase at disneyland. The bottom cake has little mickey mouse heads piped on in white.

Mickey Cookies


These are the cookies I made for my daughter's Disney themed birthday party. I made Mickey cookies in red, yellow, black and blue. I put them into cellaphane bags and tied contrasting ribbon around them. They are butter cookies with rolled buttercream icing.

Mini Cupcakes

Graduation Cupcakes


I did these cupcakes for my boss's daughter who was graduating from The University of Arizona. They are confetti, yellow and chocolate cupcakes decorated with buttercream icing. As you may have guessed, the school colors are red and white. The mascot is a Wildcat, hence the paw print on some of the cupcakes.


Margarita Cupcakes

These cupcakes are also for my boss's daughter's graduation party. They were having a fiesta themed party so I decided to continue the theme with the cupcakes. These are margarita cupcakes (non-alcoholic) iced with key lime frosting. The frosting is a cream cheese based frosting. I added sugar sprinkles on top for added style. Normally I would have tinted the icing green, and used green sugar sprinkles, but it would not have gone with the school colors.

Halloween Cookies

Bats
Spider Webs & Black Cats
Jack 'O Lanterns
Ghosts


This are the Halloween cookies I made for my husbands work party. They are sugar cookies with rolled buttercream icing and royal icing for the details. I made 70 cookies and not one was leftover. I do however have to credit my husband for the Jack 'O Lantern faces, he did all of them to help me out.
