Cake Recap: June

 June was a pretty slow cake month....by choice.  It felt like I had cakes every weekend in April and May so a summer break was much needed for my sanity (and my kitchen's sanity). 

Here is a quick recap of the cakes I created in June.

1. Camo antler birthday cake - vanilla and cookies and cream cake

2. Birkley's smash cake - chocolate cake

3. Pool side bridal shower cupcakes - margarita cake

4. Preston Wedding Cake - chocolate and vanilla cake

Waddle It Be?

I had the pleasure of playing a large part in my sister Whitney and her husband Brian's baby reveal celebration. I had came up with the idea of them finding out the sex of their baby with friends and family instead of in the doctor's office.

I looked to the internet for some inspiration and found the "Waddle It Be" them. They mailed me the sealed envelope with the baby's gender and for a whole week I knew what they were having. It was a little secret between me and the doctor. And for the record this cake maker can keep a secret.

Their favorite cake is carrot so the bottom cake is a three layers of the most delicious and moist carrot cake covered in cream cheese frosting. The duck was vanilla cake dyed BLUE and covered in vanilla buttercream frosting.

If you didn't catch it....the baby is a BOY.

Bridal Shower Weekend

Amanda Bisnett is getting married this summer I have the pleasure of making her bridal shower cake and wedding cake come June. The cake above is made of 8 and 12 inch cakes. Both cakes are vanilla one has cookies and cream filling and the other vanilla buttercream. Cakes are accented with satin ribbon, fondant dots and fresh lilies.

I wish I had gotten a picture of the cakes and cupcakes together as they were a packaged deal...but it's too late now. For the future Mrs. Warner's bridal shower I made a quarter chocolate sheet cake and marble cupcakes both with vanilla buttercream. The cake also has satin ribbon and the cupcakes edible pearls.

Time Management

I had an absolutely crazy week. I played/worked multiple volleyball games throughout the week plus I had three cakes to make. Time management was very important this week. How did I do managing my time? Horrible. I ended up working through the night to get the monstrous 80th Birthday cakes completed. I finished it in time to deliver and the client loved it.
