Baby Shower Cakes

Definitely my largest baby shower cake...this served about 160 people. I was at a wedding a month previous and the bride had a beautiful chocolate wedding cake with pink Gerbera daisies in between...so fresh and original! I immediately knew what my next cake would look like. :)

I love cupcakes for showers! This is my home-made version of Hostess cupcakes...the centers are filled and I finished them with a delicious chocolate glaze. I stacked these serving plates at the shower, but forgot to take a picture!


This cake was used for a game...the guests had to guess how many times you could spell the word Baby with the blocks on the cake. (they were on the sides too)



One of my favorite Baby Boy shower cakes!



This was carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.



Winnie the Pooh makes a great theme when the gender of a baby is a mystery! The cake for the bear was made with a 3D Wilton Cake pan. This served 70 people.

Bridal Shower Cakes

This was a white cake filled with my signature mocha frosting. It served 40 people. Pick-up was the night before the shower, so I had to keep the fondant bow separate to keep it from getting limp. All the hostess had to do was peel it off of the waxed paper and place it on top of the cake before the shower. Peel'n'stick!

This is still one of my favorite cakes. I love the basket-weave technique, and I made the "leaves" around the strawberries by painting dark and white chocolate on the back of clean rose leaves and then peeling them off when hardened...so the veins from the real leaf were imprinted on the chocolate. If I remember correctly, this was a white cake with strawberry filling...perfect for the summer bridal shower!


I made this cake over five years ago. The colors aren't as popular anymore, but I like the over-all design of the cake. It would be stunning with a two-tone theme...maybe a dark frosting and white flowers.
