Quick and Final Blog Update for 2011

What a journey the year has been with my little business and I'm blessed to have received every order. The last three months of the year I took an abrupt break as our family had moved. It was a time to get my kids acclimated into a new school and home.

Come 2012...I'm back in business.

I look forward to what next year has in store!

A Special Friend Celebration:

I hosted a small birthday celebration for some close friends. All of their birthday's fell in the month of January and February. So, I decide to throw them all a birthday party.

A little surprise to them all!

I ordered some special tags from love-the-day.com.

Love her work!!

I went with a Bee themed party. On each place setting there was a special small purse that I bought on Etsy for each friend.

Of course a little dessert bar had to be added!

Lemon cake with raspberry filling.

Marshmallows dipped in caramel, chocolate and then crushed nutter-butters.

Chocolate covered pretzels.

Chocolate cupcake pops.

I made a special birthday cake for my husband. He is a soccer coach at a local High School and thought this was perfect for him.

Happy Birthday Mr. Witt!

The ball is actually cake as well.

Love my grass work!

Fabulous 50th Birthday Bash....

I had the pleasure of working with a dear friend in creating a 50's themed birthday party for a client. We worked on this event for 3 months making calls, researching and putting our creative flair to this event.
We hired Ruby's Diner to make dinner for each guest that attended the party. Also, Ruby's made unlimited shakes for the guests as well. What a big hit it all was!
The greatest part...we were asked to work the event and dress the part. I LOVED my outfit!!
I was also hired by my friend Amber to make a dessert table as well as a candy buffet.
Thank you Amber for giving me the opportunity to work with you and create such a great event!!

This is my dessert table with consisted of...chocolate cupcakes filled with cherry filling and topped with vanilla buttercream and a cherry on top. Also, chocolate cupcake pops and sugar cookies with an edible image. Image was designed by my friend Amber.

Cute record signs were made by Amber.

Fun 50th birthday cake.

I made these cute cupcake pop stands out of candle sticks and actual records found at a local antique store.

Sugar cookies

I spent a few hours researching candies that were popular in the era. What great candy I came across. We had Waxed lips, Mary Jane's, Lemon Heads, Fire Ball's, Abba-Zaba's to name a few. Each place setting contained a small coca-cola glass which was given to each guest to place their candy in at the buffet.

We ordered a checkered dance floor which really made the party pop.

Tables were decorated as a diner theme. Each table contained a napkin holder, condiment holder and a straw holder. Amber then made music note napkin rings, menus and the small coca-cola glasses were at each place setting as well.

We ordered many cute props to add to the event.

Popcorn station

A soda-jerk was hired. We even had Ruby's making ice cream shakes for each the guest.

I'm going to post some more pictures of the table settings and guests.
What a great party!!!

A quick blog update... which I'm so behind on!!

Baby Dedication...think pink

This was for a client who requested something sweet for her daughter's dedication party.

Simple and sweet.

BBQ bash...super festive sweets

This order was for a BBQ Birthday for a sweet lady.
Love the wooden spoon.

Couldn't go without making hamburger themed cupcakes. The patty of the burger was a brownie and the sauce is colored buttercream.

Here are a few Valentines Day cakes...definitely not as many like last year (my cake buddy was home with morning sickness...couldn't even think of asking her to make sweets)

Yes...this little bee is actually a cake. I came up with the design during a sleepless night.

Love his little face!

A client was having a Valentines Day party for her friends and wanted a cake a to celebrate the event. Not include in the picture where pops and heart shaped whoopie pies.

Another cute bee!

Birthday Celebrations....bugs and princesses

This little cake was for my daughter's teacher. We were a bit late on her celebration but I think we made up for it!
Flowers totally helped out!

Was missing something on the cake so, I designed some cute flowers.

One of my heaviest cakes yet. This was for a little girls princess party. They were wanting something to fit the theme and smallish. Umm..it fits the theme..but not the size.
I ENJOYED working on this cake as was really proud of my work.

Door actually looks like wood.

My princess...LOVE her!

Christmas...playing catch up big time

Mrs. Claus cookies for her elves at Disneyland. She placed some last year and the request was asked again for this year.

And that's a quick blog UPDATE!!

A Friend Fall Celebration...

Fall is a time to be cozy and celebrate all the wonderful things in our lives. One of those is our friends. We cherish our friendships that have blessed us threw the years. This past month I hosted a "Thankful for Friends" party. We enjoyed some yummy appetizers, homemade chili and warm cornbread.

I made caramel apples for all of our sweet friends as favors.

My wonderful husband took me to LA to the flower mart. I just love that place. All the beautiful different flowers...and all the colors and smells are just so fabulous.

And...of course yummy sweets!!!

I sooo...need some camera help! Maybe just a better camera and lighting...and some technique.

This was a fun dessert. I made pumpkin pie in a jar. They were super cute and perfect individual servings.

Yummy too...

Chocolate whoopie pies with peanut butter buttercream.

Of course....POPS

We had a fun evening celebrating our friends that night and love the ones who are celebrating in heaven.

Love you and miss you Krista!!

2010-11-22T20:00:00.000-08:00

Sweet...sweets and more sweets!!!

Caramel Apples...

I had the joy of making 100 caramel apples for a Mardi Gra 15th birthday party.
Hope the sweets added a little splash to their event.

21st Birthday Bash...

Here's a different cake for my blog.
I wanted to try something a little bit funky with a interesting shape. I'm not sure if I'd try this again but, I've learned the second time around you get better. Practice makes perfect!

Baby Boy Baby Shower...

It is very useful when clients give me a theme, colors and ideas to work from and then....say ,"I trust you to do what you want with your creativity". It makes cake decorating fun and gives you the space to let your creativity flow.

My client Jenny was wonderful to work with and gave me the the space to be creative.
The cake was devils chocolate cake filled with yummy strawberry buttercream.

Yummy chocolate cupcake pops!

2010-10-19T10:00:00.000-07:00

The Mother Load...

I had a request to make a Hawaiian wedding cake. Which is really a recipe for the kind of cake not a style of a cake. This cake was super moist and SUPER heavy. I think I made four layers of cake and three layers of cream cheese filling (I've had a lot of cake this month..can't keep them all straight). Anyway, it was soooo good!
Hope you enjoyed it Stephanie. And thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone Fox family!

2010-10-19T09:26:00.000-07:00

An Owl Themed Baby Shower...

This past weekend I hosted a baby shower for my sister-in-law. As you can see, the theme of her nursery is going to be owls. I took her theme and made it for the baby shower.
I found this cute picture and owl pillow from Target and made them my inspiration colors for the party.

I made a cute dessert bar for her event.

The cake was chocolate with oreo buttercream which the mommy-to-be requested.
I made a little mommy owl and baby owl, which are both out of fondant.

Sugar cookies cut and decorated to resemble owls.

I also made chocolate pops as well as carrot pops.

The caramel apples were giving to each guest as a thank you for attending the event.

The event was held in my backyard. We all had our fingers crossed for the rain to hold off. And it seemed to work. No rain! The celebration took place at 5:30 so my husband added some lights to the tent and made it really magical at night. Good job honey!

Drink station..raspberry lemonade and passion fruit iced tea.

My mother-in-law cut out these cut flowers and we used them as napkin rings. Very clever and it added to the table. Great job Jani!!

This was a very festive event and enjoyed creating it for my sister-in-law!
A special thank you to my friend Amber for creating the invites as well as tags. Also, for helping me work the event. You are the greatest!

2010-10-19T08:50:00.000-07:00

Bowling Birthday Party....

We celebrated my daughters 8th birthday at the local bowling ally with a group of her friends. They had such a blast bowling, giggling and running around. A few of the bowling balls ended in other lanes or back in our laps. The girls/boys just giggled the whole time.

After bowling we went back to my house for hot dogs and dessert. This is the kids table all set up. I bought the pink cars at our local Ruby's. Perfect colors!

After they filled their bellies with the dogs, it was time for build-your-own-sundaes!
Happy girls!

My little sundae station all set and pretty.

This little girl was on my daughters invitations. I worked with a lady from Etsy who owns a shop on this site. It's call Party Place. She's great to work with and very fast.
I wanted the girls shirts to match the invitation. We worked with Special T's in Fullerton and they are so amazing with their work. Also they have great customer service!!!

2010-10-18T19:39:00.000-07:00

Getting back on track....

I've been busy with cakes and parties over the past two months and just haven't made the time to sit down and post. I felt it was time to get back on track and get posting!

Toy Story...
I had the pleasure of working with a client who was in need of a Toy Story cake for her daughters birthday. We exchanged many emails over the past month coming up with some ideas for this cake. This cake was a 1/2 sheet chocolate cake filled with oreo buttercream. It was super heavy and very fun to make. Thank you Aimee for calling me and trusting me!

Cake was covered in fondant and accent pieces we made out of fondant as well.

The bed was also made out of cake.

Toy box too...

Fairy Cake...

I love this fairy cake. So simple and pretty. My client was having a special birthday for her little girl and wanted a cake with a fairy flair. The cake was strawberry cake filled with cream cheese frosting.

I had so much fun covering the whole cake with fairy dust (edible glitter). A perfect fit for this cake.

Baby Shower...

My name was passed on by a dear friend to this client and I was happy to except this order. It seems like I'm repeating myself but, this cake was a challenge and fun to make. The colors that the client wanted for this cake made me a bit nervous but, they look super cute together.
The baby shoes on top of the cake were made out of gum-paste.

Cute little shoes!

For my Princess....
This client in my number one fan! She is my daughter and loves to see what I can create with each order. For our family celebrations her request was something princess, peanut butter and cupcake pops. I think I covered her request!

For this image I used a stamp set from Stampin Up! and edible ink and place it on dried fondant. I then used edible colored markers and added color to the princess.

The small cupcake are actually cupcake pops.

A Birthday Celebration With Her Class....

My daughter requested cupcakes to be shared with her classmates. I used my stamps again to add some fun accents to the cupcake. The kids were pretty impressed.

In Loving Memory of My Dearest Friend

My dear friend Krista Desatoff went home on August 1st to be with her Lord and Savior. She was my mentor mom, my confedont and my dearest friend. Krista was a Godly women who loved her family, her friends and her job as a 3rd grade teacher. Two years ago she was named "Teacher of The Year" for her school district. Everyone loved her and she always brought a smile to the face of everyone she came in contact with. I'm gonna miss her terribly.
I love you my dear friend! Thank you for being so wonderful to me and my family. Thank you for all the fun talks over coffee, frozen yogurt, and all those yummy dinners. Thank you for teaching me about life. And thank you for all your wonderful advice...even the stuff I didn't want to hear. You are forever in my heart and forever my friend!
I love you!!!

I never got to make Krista a cake and felt it was only right to make one for the day of her celebration service. I made my first 3 tiered cake for the reception. The words on the cake were from her white board in her home. She wrote these bold words describing herself. I later found out it was from the bible. She exemplified every word in the scripture.

"Finally brothers whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things."

P.S. Thank you for fixing my blog journals.

My First Wedding...

My first wedding celebration. I made 200 cupcakes and a small wedding cake. Flavors requested..lemon cupcakes filled with lemon curd and then topped with buttercream frosting. As well as, white cupcakes filled with chocolate ganache and frosted with buttercream frosting.

The event was beautiful and bright! I loved all the colors together.

On half the cupcakes I piped on little sunflowers to fit the theme of the wedding.
I also bought some new stands for this celebration. I am so in love with these stands. I bought them online at thecupcaketower.com. They come in all different sizes as well as shapes. Super nice stands and very classy looking! You can also purchase ribbon threw them with is hand stitched together.

My first professional picture of my sweets! :o)

A Berry Sweet Baby Shower

This shower was for a very dear friend of mine who's expecting her first child. My dear friend Amber pieced this event together. She did a wonderful job!

Vases were actually filled with real berries. The favors were jam jars with strawberry jam inside. Very clever!

My Berry Sweet Table
I need to really work on my photography! I was so happy with how the table turned out that in this picture you can't see all the detail. My goal for the year...photo classes!

I'm sooo in happy with this cake.

I made individual berry shortcakes in jars. This was my first time making these and people seemed very please! They were really yummy and super cute!

2010-08-19T08:46:00.000-07:00

Summer Cakes

What a crazy summer!!! I've been trying to post pictures for the last few months but time just kept slipping away. And I'm really not one to journal.
I have had the pleasure of making some special cakes this summer and I've enjoyed every single one.

This little Mickey cake was for a special little boy! His name is Landon and he celebrated his first birthday. I will need to post a picture of him on my blog. He is sooo darn cute.

"Happy Birthday", says Elmo!
This cake was so festive!!!

Mr. Elmo is made out of Rice Krispies and then piped with red frosting.

Happy 60th Uncle!!
My Uncle celebrated his 60th birthday so I had to make him something sweet. He had a golf themed party..which is his third love (his wife first and then his kids and them GOLF). So with that...a golf themed cake was made.

Bridal Shower Celebration...
I received an order for a bridal shower cake and I really wanted it to look wedding-ish.
So below, is the final product. Simple but classy.

Luau

This cake was a bit silly and cute. It was for a birthday celebration and the request was a Luau themed cake. My first thought was to make a grass skirt with coconuts. And here you see I never changed my mind . I was thinking of making the coconuts out of fondant but I felt the birthday girl would have a little fun with the real things.

The cake and half of the cupcakes where Devils chocolate cake with chocolate heath bar filling. The other half of the order was lemon cupcakes filled with lemon curd and frosted with vanilla buttercream.
Party favors were chocolate cupcake pops accented with a fondant flower. The little flowers added a sweet touch.

Been Keeping a bit busy....

I'm pretty behind on my posting but have quit a few events that have taken up my time. Below are a few of my event.

AVID Banquet at Sonora High School
For this event I made 425 cupcakes for the students and their families. I had a hard time getting all the cupcakes on one table.

I LOVE these cakes!!!
I was so happy to make this order for two beautiful sisters. Both celebrating their birthdays. One cake was red velvet filled with cream cheese frosting and the other was white cake with ganache.

Little Einstein Birthday

This cake was a hard on for me. It took me sometime to come up with a design for this cake. But I felt the final product came out pretty cute.

2010-05-16T21:56:00.000-07:00

One Cute Cake

So, this cake deserves it's only spot in this post! I am so proud of this cake and I'm so thankful to my friend who gave me this order. There are people in your life that push you to be better and challenge you in life and who believe in you. We'll that's my friend Aly (and my husband)!! My little partner in crime..cake crime that is.
Anyway...this by far is my biggest cake! That's until next week. But I love this cake. The bottom of the cake is a 10 inch red velvet filled with cream cheese frosting and then covered in vanilla buttercream and wrapped in fondant. The top cake is a 6 inch yellow cake filled with ganache and then frosted with vanilla buttercream and wrapped in fondant. This cake had to weigh at least 10 to 15 pounds. The accents were zebra print with little black dresses and topped with a bow...all made out of fondant.
Super fabulous celebration cake!!!

Baby Shower and Birthdays

I've been so super busy with orders that my journaling has taken a back seat! Here are a few celebration cakes and cupcakes that have been filling my time.

Mother Duck

This order was for a baby shower. The mother-to-be does not know the sex of her baby yet so, with that I made girl duckies (flowers on there heads) and boy duckies. I made a 6 inch cake to look like a wooden tub with the mother ducky inside.
I was so happy how this order came out!

Baby girl duck and boy duck.

Twin Girls

This order was for two cute twin girls 1st birthdays. I was happy to make their little celebration a bit sweeter! The theme of the event was butterflies and flowers.
Below I made two smash cakes with the girls initials on them.

Cupcakes made for the guests.

Superman Birthday

I actually made this cake and cupcakes in honor of my father-in-law. He's a snicker-doodle lover so I made snicker-doodle cupcakes as well as cookies.
They were SUPER yummy!!

Birthday Cakes

What a busy weekend with Birthdays!! These three cakes were a joy to make.
The Cars cake and cupcakes where chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting.
The best part of this cake, was seeing Aiden's face when he saw the cake for the first time. That was the greatest!

Cinderella

I worried about making this cake for weeks. I kept thinking over and over how I was going to make this cake. And it came out better then I thought it would. Cinderella's dress is the cake. It is covered in buttercream frosting and wrapped with vanilla fondant. The top of her dress is also covered in fondant.
Hailey sure loved her little creation!

Coffee Cup Full of Sweetness

I made this coffee cup cake for my mother-in-laws birthday. I was very pleased with the final product!!!

A Special Cupcake

I received an order for a cupcake for a dear friend of the family. He is a fun loving man with a bright personality. I've been wanting to make this cake for sometime and thought he'd make the perfect fit. Like I said, "a cupcake order", and you may have noticed that I also said, "I wanted to make this cake"... it does have a cupcake on the top! That counts right?!? :)
They were very pleased with my creation.

The cupcake is actually a real cupcake frosted in buttercream and covered in fondant.

My Sweet Celebration assists with a dear friends celebration...

My friend Aly threw a cute birthday party for her 2 year old son. The theme was a cowboy party.
It was such a cute party. I was asked to assist her in this event...and of course I jumped at the the opportunity.
I made a cute birthday sign for the event. Aly ordered the printed sign and I added a bit of the love and creativity to it. It says, "Happy Birthday Blake". At the beginning of Blake's name I put his adorable picture. I was very happy with the final product.

Aly is also an amazing cake maker as well. Below, I made cute horse and cowboy cupcake picks. They added a nice touch to the sweet treats.

Fun party favors were placed in this stand. Carmel dipped apples with simple birthday tags.

I also made centerpeices for the bash. An easy way to add a few accents to the party.

Cowboy hats and scarfs were also fun favors for the children.

A little Sweet Celebration splash

I was asked to make another birthday sign for a barnyard bash.
Fun and festive!

I also made these cow, pig and farm house cupcake picks to add to Aly's creation.
We make a good team! Creativity was just flowing for these two events!!
Thanks so much Aly for giving me the opportunity to work with you.

A Superhero Birthday Party

My favorite obsession...planning parties! I love everything about it. From picking a theme, to making and/or searching for cute invitations, to creating party favors, to decorations, to the food...well pretty much the whole event makes me happy! Ulitmately, I love seeing kids enjoy a great celebration.

I put this party together for my son. I had a great time piecing this event together for him.
Every boy loves a wearing a great cape and pretending to save the world.
I planned on making the capes for my son's party but I was short on time, so luckily
I found capes at www.etsy.com. ( I lost the information of the creator of the capes but I do plan on making them for whoever would love to place an order.) Although I purchased the capes, I made each of the kids their own superhero masks! They loved them.
By the way...these kids kept their capes on all day! Some even wore them to bed. :)

Another fun piece to the party is making a themed dessert bar. Below, I have assorted candy and a superhero themed cake. The cake was white cake with chocolate chips, fudge and cherry filling. It was really yummy!

This is made out of fondant.

Each child received his/her own personalized Chinese superhero box to be filled with all the yummy candy!

I found superhero coloring books and bags which I filled with coloring crayons. So...perfect!

Where the party bash took place.

I put together the birthday sign and centerpieces for this little celebration. I was able to get my son to pose like a superhero!

My dear friend made the signs. Thank you so much Amber!

"The Gang"

Instead of coming up with different games I put together an obstacle course. The different stages were:
1. To run faster then a speeding bullet (run)
2. Leap over tall buildings (my daughters barbie house)
3. Kryptonite pick up (picking up a green apple with tongs and placing it into a paper bag)
4. Going threw the tunnel of wisdom
and last was...
5. Vaporizing the villian (silly-stringing my husband).
The kids had such a wondeful time!

A great celebration for the greatest superhero!
I'd love to create a superhero event for your little one.
Please contact me if you'd like a Sweet Celebration event.

A Disney Celebration

My first party celebration order!!! The client hired me as her party coordinator and I finally was able to be what I have been dreaming of...A Party Planner.
This celebration was for a little girl who turned 3 and loves anything Disney. With that in mind, my creative juices where in full force. I decided to go with a Minnie and Mickey Mouse theme.

I made a Minnie "Happy Birthday Isabella" sign.

I made a black and white cake filled with bavarian creme and chocolate dobash. Frosted with vanilla buttercream frosting and covered in fondant. The Minnie hat was a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and covered in fondant.

Minnie and Mickey cupcakes.
Thank you Aly for you help!

I also made a candy buffet for the guesses. Below the sign reads,
"Grab a treat..as we celebrate..Isabella... who's super sweet"

I decorated take-boxes to look like Minnie. The children where able to grab a box and fill it with any candy their heart desires.
I love the "Whirly Pops".

I made a craft for the children to make. I made party hats with ears on the sides and each child was able to decorate their hat with die-cuts and coloring crayons.
I made a special one for the birthday girl...you can kinda see it here at the end of the table. I should have taken a picture with her in it...I ran out of time.
I also provided Disney coloring pages.

Here are the centerpieces I made for the celebration. I was so happy how cute they came out.

This was on the backside of the Minnie. Thank you to "Amber Designs" for helping with the graphics!

I loved the way the party came out and loved the family I planned this for. They were such a cute family!
The day was a great one!!

Country Clutter

My trip to Nebraska inspired me to make a country-style-table-of-goodness. I did learn with this creation that cupcakes hate humidity...or should I say bakers do! I had to get a bit creative because my cupcakes pulled away from the liners.
