Nautical Baby Shower Cake

Oh, I loved this theme! (I know, I know - it seems like I say that with every project) I really did love this cake though! :) Almond pound cake with vanilla buttercream filling, covered in fondant with fondant and gum paste details all came together so nicely for this baby shower cake!

Pink & Black Ladybug Baby Shower

This was a fun theme for a baby shower! I matched the cake and cupcakes to the invitations - pink and black ladybugs! The cake was fresh strawberry with white chocolate swiss meringue buttercream filling, covered in fondant with fondant details. The cupcakes were half vanilla with fresh strawberry swiss meringue, half chocolate with caramel swiss meringue, both with custom fondant/gum paste toppers.

Honey Bee Cupcakes

These were just a fun little project since I didn't have anything "official" to do this past weekend ;) Browned-butter banana cupcakes with honey swiss meringue buttercream I tried to pipe to mimic a beehive, topped with marzipan bees with almond slice wings! As I said, these were completely just for fun, but I couldn't help thinking how sweet these would look at a baby shower, no?

Pink Baby Shower Cupcakes with Handmade Flags

These were a fairly simple order, but just thought they turned out so lovely! Rich, chocolate cupcakes with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream swirls and my own hand made ribbon flag toppers! :)

Blue Elephant Baby Shower Cake

I don't seem to get too many opportunities to do the more "boyish" cakes even if they are baby boy cakes...somehow I'm always doing girly cakes - which don't get me wrong, I love!! But, it's so much fun to switch gears and change direction every once and a while! :) With this cake, my task was to match the Carters' Blue Elephant bedding collection, which is being used in the nursery - fun!! White vanilla cake with strawberry swiss meringue buttercream filling, covered with blue fondant which I marked to match the circle design found on the bedding. I then added a chocolate brown fondant strip at the base of the cake and finished if off with two little elephants I cut from fondant/gum paste mixture! Had so much fun with this design and was so in love with how it turned out!

Pink, Black and White Scrolled Shower Cake

This was another fun task of matching a cake to an item - in this case the shower invitation! The bottom tier was chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream filling, covered with white fondant. The top tier was vanilla buttermilk cake with vanilla buttercream filling covered with white fondant. I used pink fondant to edge the bottom of each tier, then added black fondant dots before attaching pink fondant/gum paste flowers that matched the ones on the invitations! I then cut black fondant scrolls using my Cricut Cake and attached them around the sides of the cake. I was very pleased with how the whole design came together - loved how the colors looked on the cake! :)

Her Royal Highness Cake and Cupcakes

Since I have both a Son and a Daughter I love the fact that I get to enjoy both "girly" things and "guy" stuff...however, since I am myself a girl I have to admit I have an affinity towards the girlier things in life! Needless to say, I have SO been looking forward to this project!! A baby shower done in a princess theme! The small cake was vanilla buttermilk with strawberry swiss meringue buttercream filling and vanilla meringue buttercream icing piped into mounds of beautiful pink ruffles - oh, the ruffles!! I then fashioned a banner out of white fondant and added "HRH Emma Paige" in gold lettering for the coming Princess and topped off the cake with a hand made gum paste tiara! The cupcakes were also vanilla buttermilk with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream, topped off with pink gum paste crowns, pink flowers and a touch of shimmer dust! Altogether a lovely welcoming for the little Princess-to-be! :)
