Kait's Cupcakes

Kait and Tom got married in a beautiful barn near her home in Mount Solon, VA. She was at another friend Krista's wedding last summer and loved the idea of serving cupcakes for her own celebration. The first flavor was a coconut cupcake with lime buttercream (just like Krista!) and the second was a white chocolate cupcake with strawberry buttercream. We picked the suitcases to top the white chocolate cupcakes because it represented her relationship with Tom. Tom is a native Aussie, and they've done a lot of traveling throughout their relationship! It was such a pleasure to work with her, even though our communication became long distant when she moved to Australia for the last few months of her engagement. Good luck Kait and Tom!

Pictures- a few favorites (round 2)

It's that time again- time to add a few pictures so that eventually the blog will take the place of my old fashioned facebook album. Here are three more cakes from my past.




A birthday cake for my hometown friend's boyfriend (now fiance!) He's into planes so we tried to do something fun for that. It's always great to add a bit more dimension to the cake, so we took a trip to Michaels. The end result was a cake fit for a kid-at-heart.














One of my great friends Nichole celebrated her 16th birthday last fall and wanted it to be special. Zebra is a big trend in all things teen, and I couldn't have been more thrilled to make her cake for the occasion.








For my roommate and best friend's birthday I decided to come up with a quick cake idea. Alison loves Harry Potter and I couldn't resist the chance to practice my painting. (A simple technique of using dye powder with lemon juice. It makes a great paint for fondant layers!) Her last name being Huffstetler, she naturally supported the Hufflepuff House (colors of Black and Yellow) so that was a great starting point. The end result was a cape, pictured here, with my proudest part the HP font.
