Little Lamb

Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays! It helps ring in spring, is a fun, family centered holiday, and is a reminder of the sweet love our Savior has for us. This lamb cake was perfect for the Easter season!

Harry Potter

I was THRILLED when I got asked to make a Harry Potter cake. I LOVE Harry Potter and was pleased as much with how it turned out. This birthday boy had great taste as well - chocolate and peanut butter cake - yum!

Patriots

My dad was a little heartbroken when I showed him this cake, but when a kid loves Patriots, what can you do?

Shimmies!

Alight, you know how those cute, long, colorful sprinkles are called Jimmies? I ran across SHIMMIES!!!! They are shimmery Jimmies!!! I don't think I could've been happier. What an adorable combo! They helped make these fun Salted Caramel cake pops POP even more!

89th Birthday

A cake to celebrate 89 years of life!

Flower Power

Everyone must want spring as badly as I do because it's been a popular request lately. Who could blame them, it feels like an everlasting winter and I'm ready for sunshine and fresh flower blossoms!

Sunshine!

Yellow = sunshine to me! What a bright, fun cake this was to do.

New Year!

Stars and Gold helped ring in this New Years cake! Coconut cake with coconut cream frosting.

Sports

This cake was so much fun to make. It was for a sweet family we adore who loves sports - it was a combined birthday for siblings who have birthdays a day apart.

Sprinkles

Sprinkles have always been one of my favorite things. They make everything better. Fact! This cake is full of sprinkles inside and out.

Ocean / Bubblegum

I love getting orders from this family. They have fun requests. This request: bubble gum icing, seahorse and dolphin. I wanted to add in another bubble gum element, so when they cut into the cake, gumballs will come pouring out from the center! I love everything ocean, so this cake was extra exciting to make.

PJ Mask

I'll be honest, I have only heard of PJ Masks once in my life. My nephew likes it and that was the theme of his birthday party last year. I had to do a little research to know what the show was all about. I had such a good time making this cake. The marbled fondant for the night sky was my favorite part.

I'm Melting

I've made these cupcakes for a few years in a row to celebrate Halloween. They are so tasty and fun. A super chocolaty cupcake, marshmallow frosting that is to die for, and a fun, green, white chocolate ganache. The recipes and idea comes from the Six Sisters, who I absolutely love and follow just about everything they do. Their savory and sweet recipes never fail to satisfy my family.

Giant Cupcake

I've been itching to make a giant cupcake cake for years! This was so much fun. Who isn't delighted by a sprinkled-topped, massive cupcake? I had tried baking one before with one of my go-to favorite recipes, but it was an epic failure, so I tried a "pound cake" version this time. It was fabulous. Dense Cake for Giant Cupcake 1 boxed cake mix 4 eggs 1 1/4 cup milk 1 sm box of instant pudding large dollop of greek yogurt or sour cream 1 tsp vanilla extract Mix together. Bake at 325 degrees for about an hour, watching closely. The outside is melted chocolate. I was so intimidated to do it that way, absolutely sure it would just end up a mess, but miraculously, it was terrific.

Horse Cake

I LOVE this animal cake trend: Unicorns, horses, etc. I could make them everyday and still get excited about how fun they come together. My daughter was extra excited to see the results of this cake because she loves horses and it was for her cute little friends 3rd birthday!

Donut Cake

I can smell this cake now! Both the smash cake and the huge sheet cake were strawberry. It smelt delightful. These were for a one year old birthday party. Donut themed. How cute is that theme?

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

I love Sally's Baking Addiction. She has adorable ideas and delightful recipes. She also does monthly challenges. I always assumed the challenges were for herself, but I took the time to actually read her post a few months ago and they challenges are for her blog followers. It's a fun excuse to bake fun treats. This Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake was the challenge for Augusts. It was fun to make, but was exactly like a cookie... I'm not sure that's my favorite combo, but it may be someone else's favorite.

Graduation - Class of 2018

Seeing all these posts about graduation are making me feel nostalgic. I can't believe I've been out of high school for so long - it seems like a long time ago, and doesn't at the same time. This is a chocolate cake with lavender rosettes to celebrate a special high school graduate.

Succulent Cake

This was an Arizona inspired cake. When I got asked to do this one I thought about all the memories I have of Arizona and most all of them went back to the unique plants that were there. (Also... speaking of plants in Arizona, did you know that if a cactus doesn't have visible spikes, it can still hurt really bad if you hug it? I did when I was in elementary school because I wanted a picture hugging a cactus and for hours after I was SOOOOO itchy. There are fine little hair prickles that stick to your skin. I think next time I'd prefer to get stabbed by a spike rather than have those little tiny prickles all over my arms.)

Hollywood

This was such a fun cake for a Movie themed party. It was a combination party with two sisters. One loves strawberry and one loves chocolate, so it was a half-and-half cake.
