Baby Animals Baby Shower Cake

This is a baby shower cake I did for this weekend. Top tier is yellow cake with chocolate filling, and bottom tier is white cake with vanilla buttercream filling. This was my first attempt at making fondant animals, and I learned a ton while having a blast watching these little guys come to life! Thanks, Mary for asking me to so this cake!

I have to give credit to We Take the Cake for the cake design - I made a few modifications and did my best. Go take a look at her stuff - her work is amazing!

Just for Fun Cupcakes

Since I have been gone for a few weeks and cake orders in the summer have slowed down, I was itching to bake! So I use my Jr. High girls, that I work with at church, as motivation to get the powdered sugar flowing. My house was this week's place for our Bible study so I wanted to give cupcakes a whirl.

I made confetti cupcakes with French vanilla cake batter and colored sugar sprinkles. The icing is regular buttercream tinted a "oh so girly" pink with edible shimmer, and a fondant flower to top it off. I thought they turned out pretty cute for a last minute, thrown together dessert and they were pretty tasty too!
