Just Practice.

I really need to learn how to work with buttercream, so I found a couple of tutorials that were interesting.  This is the first attempt at a "Rose Cake"-- Lots and lots and LOTS of buttercream on a 2 layer, dark chocolate cake!

Wouldn't it be pretty for a brides' cake?

Summer Wedding Bliss

Greg and Caroline were married in a lovely, serene venue in Fayette County, Alabama.  I was so excited to be a small part of their celebration!  Caroline wanted a "different" wedding cake, so we went with a whimsical cake and lots and lots of cupcakes!










Trains for Twins!

Trains and cupcakes! That was the order of the day for 2 year old twins, Jackson and Cullen!  I hope you had a big, big time at your party!


Happy Birthday, Jackson and Cullen!  Aren't they the cutest?
