Camo Cupcakes!


These are the camo cupcakes I made for our Girls Camp Awards Night. The theme was Camp M.A.S.H (army) so these were perfect!
They were easy to make but a little time consuming. I used white and chocolate cake plus a little green food coloring. Pretty cool huh?
 I also used my new cake stands Uncle Zach gave me! Doesn't it look great!?
I love cupcakes!

Lace Cake!

Here is my latest! My cousin Nick just got married and I was so blessed to do his cake. The lovely bride (Sara) gave me two pictures to go on and I did my best.
 This is a white cake with raspberry cream filling in the top and bottom tiers and lemon cream cheese filling in the middle. Frosted with almond flavored buttercream and covered in my homemade marshmallow fondant. I used more fondant for the flowers and royal icing for the extra details. I love the look of the white on ivory with just a touch of pink from the flowers. Lovely.
 The pictures that Sara gave me were both cakes with a sort of lace detail on them and I did my best to give her what she wanted. 
Did you happen to notice the absolutely beautiful cake stand under my cake? My very talented Uncle Zach (father of the groom) made it! He also made a smaller one and is letting me keep them!! It's like Christmas!
