Minnie Mouse, Knights, and a Bike

Three orders this week. The first order out the door this week was a bike cake. The sweet Mara takes after her dad in her love of biking and she has a special place in her heart for Frozen. I tried to incorporate both with this fun summery cake. Fluffy moist Strawberry cake with coconut buttercream! Delicious combination!! 

Next up were cupcakes for a cute castle theme 4th birthday. I love the liners and little knight toothpicks his mom found! I added a few dragons to give the knights something to fight. I think they turned out super cute! Chocolate on chocolate, a classic melt in your mouth flavor combination. 

And last was a sweet Minnie Mouse birthday cake. I love how Happy Minnie turned out! Perfect for a Minnie loving 3 year old. The cake and cupcakes were vanilla with raspberry frosting with a few chocolate peanut butter cup cupcakes. Delish!! 

Birthdays Galore

September has the most birthdays of any other month nationally. Think back 9 months. Yup dead of winter, it was cold and people tend to snuggle a bit more when the temperature drops. In perfect conjunction, last week was crazy busy! I made 3 birthday cakes, 1 cupcake cake, 7.5 dozen cupcakes, and 7 pies! And on top of that we had dance classes, soccer practice, two farmers markets, a soccer game, a college football game and a triple birthday party! It was wonderfully nuts!! Here are the pictures I haven't yet shared. 

 Mother-in-Law's Birthday Cake. She chose Cherry Chip with Vanilla Frosting. It was soo moist and the flavor was to die for!

 Red Velvet Birthday Cupcakes. The birthday girl had four with no frosting. She is not a frosting fan, but the rest of her family had a fluffy luscious cream cheese frosting. 

This cake was for my husband's birthday. He was a TMNT fan growing up and so it was only fitting that I make his favorite ninja come to life with a mix of fondant and gum paste. Donatello has been happily devoured. Chocolate Cake with Chocolate frosting. My husbands favorite since he was a little boy.

The recipients of this cupcake cake are cousins and both love Ninja Turtles. Mikey was a favorite and I love how he turned out. Cupcake cakes are such a fun idea and during a party there is no cutting needed! Yellow Cake with Vanilla Frosting.

 The 3 Birthday "Kids"

Coming Up this week are orders that include a chocolate bike with a touch of frozen, Minnie Mouse, and Castle themed cupcakes.  For the Farmers Markets there will be peach pie, apple pie, blueberry pie, raspberry pie. Peanut butter cup cupcakes,  Strawberry cupcakes with Coconut buttercream, and Chocolate mint cupcakes. TASTY!!!

Fall and 10% off your October order!!

FALL!! A week from today is the official start of fall and 3 weeks from now is my birthday, but who's counting? I love all things that come with fall. Leaves changing color and crunching under your feet, sweaters, hot chocolate, a warm your soul homemade pie (see what I did there?), family gatherings, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc. I am trying my best to hold off decorating but that may not last too long, my wreath is already up. So in celebration of fall and my birthday I am offering 10% off all October cake/cupcake orders made by my birthday October 7th. Mention this offer when you place your order with me. You have 3 weeks!

This was my 6th birthday! 22 years later and I still get excited!Check out those bangs and that cake!! This picture has 5 of 11 children birthed by my mom! Ouch!! She definitely deserves 12 birthdays a year, don't you think?

Every year, as an adult, I have pie for my birthday. It is my absolute favorite dessert! In the above video you can see that my husband wrote "OLD" out of candles on the pies. haha.

My front door is ready for fall.

Two Recent cakes and a sneak peek!

This pillow cake was super fun to do! I love the Arabian night theme and I love how it turned out! Here is a quote from the recipient. "Thanks so much Charity! Everything was delish and I had so many compliments on how cute it was! I especially loved the raspberry frosting on the cupcakes...I will definitely be getting in touch with you again."
I love it when a customer is so happy!

 

Last night I had a last minute call for a birthday cake. I just happened to have two chocolate layers in the oven. I had 3 hours to finish baking, cool, crumb coat, refrigerate, think of a design, make and dye frosting, make my family dinner, clean up, and decorate the cake. It was interesting to see what I could do with such short notice. It was a good experience! 

There are little things I would definitely change if I had more time but I love how well it turned out for the time I had!

"It turned out super cute!!! Love it! Thanks!" - satisfied customer 

Coming up this week are two cakes and a cupcake cake! Be on the look out for those pictures early next week! Here is a sneak peak!
