Mardi Gras... Beads included!!


Erin had contacted us about a Mardi Gra's themed birthday party! Since we had recently done a Masquerade, we were excited to make a real Mardi Gra's theme!

The cake was a german chocolate cake with melted german chocolate. The beads are finished with pearl luster, and the mask is fondant.

We really tried to stick with the common Yellow, Green, Purple, Silver, Gold, black colors.


Since the mask cookies we had made prior to these were small, we used the cookie cutter that came with it to create a 3D cookie. Placing the diamond gave the mask much more dimention and added to the theme.
We really love the way the cake looks with those cookies! And did we mention they're delicious?

God Bless Luca!

When Luca's Mom contacted us about Cross cookies, I was SHOCKED. Why?

Well, I had just started to create bear cookies for Dean's baptism!

These cookies came out so adorable and adding the "precious moments" lookreally makes those bears precious!


Congratulations Luca!

It's August Already?! How about something to cool off?

How "cool" are these? Maria contacted us for her daughter's birthday. They were doing a special Ice Cream Buffet and wanted some fun Ice Cream Cookies!

I have to say, I think these are just adorable! Amazing job as always Mommy Cupcake!

Happy Birthday Mommy Cupcake!

Mommy Cupcake's birthday came faster than we thought! Since Dean is just one month old, he spends alot of his time sleeping (SHOCK!) lol
So, I decided to come up with a concept for mom's cake... A baker.
The rolling pin is made from rice crispy treats. The cake is a vanilla cake with pineapple filling.


My mother in law began to roll the pin because she thought it was real!
I added the "tissue" paper on top and decorated some cookies to place in it.

She was really excited... although- I think she was more excited for Dean's visit!

It's Not a baker's cake without the rolled out cookie dough!

Surprise! First Her Daughter's Baby Shower...

And Now Her SURPRISE Birthday!



Beth had no idea that her daughter, Lauren, decided to surprise her mom with this Maxine cake the same weekend as her sister's baby shower!
Lauren had asked me if I would be able to do a Maxine figure, and I have to admit, at first I was nervous! I told her to let me see if I could before I said yes...
And before I knew it the figure started to come together!
I based it on a Hallmark card that said "Once you're over the hill, everything starts melting" and based everything on the cake melting, and stuck with some happy colors.
Beth was estatic, and such a wonderful woman. Mommy cupcake and I are lucky to have met them!


Mickey Themed Shower





Beth and Lauren had contacted us about Jodi's Baby Shower. Since Jodi decided to not find out the sex of the baby, it was important to keep the cake and favors neutral.
So, Jodi's mom Beth decided to stick with Yellows and Green, and her daughter, Lauren, helped figure out what to do for the top! A Mickey Mouse True To Life Baby Hat! :)

Beth had also decided that the favors should represent the cake as well. When she saw our onesie cookies previously she decided that's what she had to have! So, Mom threw some Mikey heads on the bibs, and VIOLA! Again wonderful job from Mommy Cupcake!!




I created the favor tags to go with the color's and used the Disney Font that we are so usd to seeing.
Congratulations Jodi!
