The Bride's Slipper

The lovely @GenSpin ordered a cake for her future sister-in-law's bridal shower. Her sis-in-law loves Louboutin shoes so the shower favors were little shoes with red bottoms. Cute! The wedding colors are deep plum and gold. So with that info, this is the cake I created.



This was the first fondant/gum paste shoe I've ever made. I think it turned out nice!

A Marital Masquerade

One of my co-workers is getting married in a couple weeks. She asked me to make the wedding cake. I'm SO excited. This will be my second wedding cake. I'm going to make sure to take a picture of it this time. haha The theme is a masquerade ball and her colors are black and purple. So fun! And the best part is she's giving me a lot of creative freedom. Also, I get to make other sweet treats. It's going to be the best dessert table ever! I can't wait.

She had her bridal shower this past weekend. I offered to make a cake for it. She asked if I could make a cake in the shape of a mask. So I made one in her wedding colors and added pearl dust, glitter and beads. I couldn't get a good picture to show off how sparkly it was, but here it is:


The beads took for-ev-er to put on. I had to do each one individually. I watched Modern Family while I did it, so it wasn't too bad. :)

Getting Married? You're as Mad as a Hatter!

My lovely ladyfriend, @clearasmud, is getting married next month. Her bridal shower was last weekend. She LOVES Alice in Wonderland so it was no surprise that it had a tea party theme. It was très cute!

She requested a Mad Hatter hat cake. I used the Disney version one and put her wedding date on the card.


I ended up being the one to cut the cake and that was NOT easy. I make the cake. I don't cut them. =)

This Boot Is Made for Eatin'

Mike's cousin emailed me months ago about a cake for a bridal shower she's hosting. She wanted a white cowboy boot with all white detailing. At first, I thought this would be a really plain cake since it had to be all white. But I thought if I used some white pearl dust and pearl beads to fancy it up, it could turn out really nice.

Also, I originally planned to buy a shaped cake pan, but after finding out how much they cost, I decided to cut the shape out myself!

Here's how it turned out:


I'm not into cowboy boots, but I love this cake! It's so lovely.

A Trip Around the World

My sister (Maria) LOVES to travel. She's always on the hunt for good travel deals and planning her next trip. So it was only fitting that her bridal shower be travel themed!

We decorated my grandparents' house with vintage travel posters. We had food from different countries. We even thought of some travel-themed games. And I made the cake, of course. What better way to send Maria off to her married life than with a suitcase cake!?

First, I made these little "stickers" to go on the suitcase. Each one represents something. The British flag because Maria studied abroad in London. It's her favorite place to visit. The Las Vegas and San Francisco stickers because Maria and Paul have gone on many trips there. Ireland because Paul is Irish. The Volkswagen logo because Paul LOVES Beetles. Maria had a Beetle, too. And a yellow M&M because he's Maria's favorite.


For the cake, I covered a 13" x 9" cake with chocolate frosting and added some fondant buckle straps and handle to make it look like a suitcase. Here it is all finished:


Maria loved it and the bridal shower was a hit!
