Cupcake Maker

In June a friend contacted me about making cupcakes for her daughter's 1st birthday. She had read on my blog how I liked to decorate cakes. I was so flattered that she would ask me.

She sent me this picture of the party supplies she had purchased for the birthday.
The birthday theme was Cupcakes.





I think they turned out pretty cute.

Cake Decorating

For those who know me know I LOVE to decorate cakes. Sometimes I overdue it :)
For our church's women's activity this month we were celebrating the Relief Society's birthday. The organizers of the event asked for volunteers to make and decorate cakes. Of course I volunteered. I decided to make a two layer German chocolate cake, with coconut pecan frosting for the filling between the two layers, dark chocolate frosting to cover the cake and lime green drop flowers. I had a lot of green and white frosting left so I put vines between the flowers and little white dots on some of the vines.

Sometimes I like to do things anonymously. When I got there they had name tags to put your cake by. Everyone knew I made the cake. I even got asked if I do cake decorating for hire. People were afraid to cut it because it was so beautiful. It was a pretty cake. I want to make another one....but I have to find an event that is cake worthy. My husband graduated college, that sounds cake worthy :)
