Friends Birthdays!

Tweet

I've had a few friends with birthdays lately, the luxury of having me for a friend....Cake and/or Cupcakes on your Birthday!

Happy Birthday to one of my best friend's Kelly!

With some help from my girlfriends, we came up with all of the things we love about our dear Kelly. Most are inside jokes and it would take a long time to explain them all and some are a little too inappropriate for this site! haha

Happy Birthday Kelly Ann....We All love you very Much!

Happy Birthday to Alicia, who is obsessed with angry Birds, G-Shock watches, and her adorable pups "Remy" and "Macy".

Happy 30th Alicia!

And Finally a Replica of Eric's beloved Camera. Completely Edible!

We captured a shot with his actual camera on the right.

Visit Eric's site to fawn over his beautiful photography skills. http://solitairecollective.com/ 

He's been all over the place and always seems to capture the beauty in all we miss through-out our day to day lives. 

Happy Birthday Eric!

Fabulous cakes for Fabulous Ladies!

This weekend I had a few very FABULOUS cakes that I have been dying to do for quite some time now.

The first is a replica of the Louis Vuitton Monogram Brown Speedy handbag. This was made for Bride-to-be Megan's "Fashionista" Bridal Shower.
This was my first handbag purse and I'm sure it will not be my last. I originally was going to hand-cut each of the symbols on the bag out of fondant but decided that my painting skills were better fit for this project. This was a trial and error cake for me and I'm glad I stuck with my gut. It took about 2 hours to paint the monogram pattern on the cake but it really paid off. (my neck and wrist are another story....perfection is pain!)

All elements are completely edible, hand-sculpted, and painted. 

Congrats to Bride-to Be Megan!

Next was a Stunning black and white damask cake for Theresa's 40th birthday. She was fun to work with and right up my alley..... She told me, "All I want is my fancy cake!" So we went big....3 tiers of pure heaven. I just love damask and quilting, especially in black and white. We added a fondant sculpted
"T" and feathers for extra fancy flair!

Happy Birthday Theresa!

And rounding out my weekend of fun and fabulous  female cakes were these Girlie Rock and Roll Cupcakes!

So What...I'm still a RockStar!

Thanks for a Great Weekend!

Ultimate Philadelphia Cake

Tweet

This cake was made for an Ultimate Phillies Fan for his 30th birthday. We added all the elements that Matt loves, baseball, Cheesesteaks and Guinness. The bottom tier is Vanilla Butter cake with Peanut Butter Fluff and Chocolate Buttercreams, the Baseball Diamond is chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream, while the baseball on top was Vanilla Butter Cake as well.

All decorations are edible.

 On top we added the signatures of Matt's wife, kids* ( it should say Joe not Jon, I goofed* Sorry Matt!), and puppy to the baseball!

I got a nice note from Jenn, Matt's wife reguarding the cake:

Jen - your work is great. It is obvious how much time you spend on each cake and the passion you have to make the cake perfect. We absolutely LOVED it!! The cake was amazing! To look at and to eat! Everyone immediately stopped to see the cake when they came in and couldn't stop saying how awesome it looked. And Matt loved it too. The cheesesteak was perfect! Matt and Caitlin shared it ha! Oh and the cake....yum yum yum!! The peanut butter cake was just so delicious!!

Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! You added such a great piece to Matt's surprise party

Happy Birthday Matt, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
