Initials cupcake Tower

I made this cake for my friend who got married 10-10-10.  They are big Yankees fans and wanted navy and gray decorations.  I did a mini two tier cake topper- made with Red Velvet cake and cream cheese buttercream filling and covered with buttercream.  She wanted 3 different flavors for the cupcakes.  They are pina-colada with pineapple cream filling, German Chocolate and White Chocolate Macadamian Nut with White Chocolate cream filling.  I made royal icing "S" to go on top of each cupcake.  The alternated navy blue on gray and gray on navy blue.  This was my first cupcake tower for a wedding and I think it turned out very pretty.  I wouldn't mind doing these again.-- Alot more work because you have to do all the decorations over and over--but the look is gorgeous.

Champagne Bottle in a Bucket

I just finished this Champagne bottle in a bucket with "ice" surrounding it.  I made this for a girl that is turning 21 and she loves Moet and Chandon.  The bottle is molded from rice krispies and covered with fondant.  The bucket is a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filling and covered with fondant.  We used a rock candy recipe to make the ice and just pile it on.

New Blogger

Today, I am a new Blogger.  I have been decorating cakes for 3 - 4 years.  I hope to be able to keep up-to-date with the cakes that I am doing or are in the midst of doing.  Over the next few days I will be posting pictures and comments of some of my favorite cakes and even my very first cake.  I hope to hear feedback or tips from some of you out there that are more advanced at decorating cakes than I am and I hope everyone enjoys my page.
