Ann's Engagement Party

A few weeks ago I helped to host my best friend Ann's Engagement Party. She wanted a fiesta theme to her party so I made a fiesta-ish cake and some Mexican chocolate dipped strawberries and marshmallows.

Susan's Wedding Shower Cupcakes, Mini Cupcakes, and Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Susan reached out to me to do the desserts for her niece's wedding shower. Since her niece majored in religion and world studies in college, Susan wanted something unique that had a bohemian feel. I decided to do a henna design while incorporating things like flowers, doves, hearts, and rings into the pattern since it was a wedding shower.





Before packing the cupcakes up, I gave them a quick spray of edible gold tinting which added some shine.


Susan also wanted 50 chocolate dipped strawberries..



And 150 mini cupcakes...


I decorated some with rose icing designs and topped the others with gum paste hearts.


I really enjoyed putting together this order. I loved using all of the different colors and piping the henna designs.

Tarts

I love tarts. They are beautiful just topped with fruit and are lighter and more refreshing then heavier desserts like cake or cookies. Here are some tarts I've done in the past for friends and family (not clients).

Cakes - Past Work

I first fell in love with custom desserts through cakes.. and maybe Food Network.. I started making them for friends and family while in college. Here is a look at cakes I've done in the past for friends and family (not clients). Please note that some have been put together in only a few short hours given time crunches, but they should give you an idea of my style.
