Fundraiser Display

I had the best time yesterday at the California Symphony Virtuoso. The event was at Dan Ashley's beautiful home (ABC7 News anchor here in the bay area). He and his wife are super nice and were gracious hosts. The weather was perfect and the guests were wonderful.

I was privileged to have a table at this event and was surrounded by all kinds of wonderful local vendors. I had made a display cake and got several compliments from it. I made pink champagne mini cupcakes and they were a complete hit. I also made some cookie party favors with the California Symphony's logo on it. They were all gone by end of event! I did have a few mini cupcakes leftovers and even was able to barter some bottles of wine from vendors at the end. SCORE!!

Happy Birthday Dad!

This was a fun cake to make. The client asked for a classy & fun cake for her dad's 70th birthday party she was throwing. When the cake was delivered, she loved it!!! (So did the caterer!!) White Velvet Cake with Raspberry filling (bottom tier) and strawberry filling (top tier).

Happy Cinco de Mayo

I've been dying to try this recipe and thought...what a better time to try a Margarita cupcake than Cinco de Mayo!!!!! Took them to the office and they were gone by noon!!

Whimsical Topsy Turvy Retirement Cake

I know I keep saying that I had a lot of fun making these cakes, but I really do!! I love what I do! Its sooo therapeutic for me...and the reaction that I receive from clients...well...you just can't get a better feeling than that! This client originally requested a 1/4 sheet cake and I kindly had to inform her that we no longer produce sheet cakes but specialize in customized tiered cakes. So I suggested a topsy turvy cake (because I like to make them...yes I'm a little bias!!) and she happily agreed. Its a cake for a retirement party and is a White Velvet Cake with Strawberry Mousse Filling and Vanilla Buttercream. Hope they all enjoy!

SF Giants Jersey Shirt Cake

I had so much fun making this cake. When my client requested making a cake for a SF Giants fan, I jumped at the opportunity because I've been wanting to make a jersey/shirt cake for some time now...either that or a baseball hat cake...I was torn so I just decided to make the jersey. The client requested a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. I'm pretty excited how it turned out.
