I had the privilege of creating this wedding cake and cupcake display for one of my sister-friends this weekend. Her request was for a black wedding cake with a cottage core theme. This was outside of my comfort zone and competely opposite of anything I've created in the past for anyone.

Shopping for items to add to the cake for decor was an adventure. I made a trip to our local food co-op hoping to get some inspiration from the produce aisle. While shopping for fresh herbs to use as greenery, a container of baby oyster mushrooms caught my eye. After convincing myself it wasn't an abomination to use mushrooms as decor on a wedding, the whole vision started coming together in my head. Blackberries, blueberries, sage, thyme, rosemary, mint leaves, red figs all went into the basket. I thought I had everything I needed to bring the vision together so headed to check out. Next to the register were the most beautiful, deep, dark red dahlias and I must have looked like a crazy person grabbing them with a huge smile, knowing they were the final puzzle piece to the picture in my mind 😂 I got lavender from friends who stepped in to help me get my hands on some.

The request was for a chocolate cake with "maybe some cream cheese or something" because my bff is as easy going as they come. Luckily, I know her love of chocolate and caramel and all things oohey-gooey and sweet, and baked her a Killer Chocolate Cake with a layer of caramel buttercream filling, topped by a layer of cream cheese buttercream filling. The cake is frosted with a deep, dark chocolate buttercream. I achieved the black color by using dutched cocoa powder rather than food coloring to ensure the flavor wasn't affected.

There were 3 flavors of cupcakes:

*Killer Chocolate Cake with cream cheese buttercream and a dusting of espresso powder
*Birthday Cake Batter with vanilla buttercream and colored sprinkles
*apple cider cake with caramel buttercream and a caramel drizzle.

The transport of all the baked goods and display set up involved lots of help from Rick and our daughter Alyssa ❤

Made these festive cupcakes for a fiesta themed bridal shower today.

Cacti cupcakes are vanilla bean cake with vanilla buttercream frosting in multiple hues of green. Pink flowers accent the cacti and white candy jimmies make the perfect prickly accents.

Margarita cupcakes are vanilla bean cake with a slightly salty, lime zest-infused, lime green, margarita buttercream frosting. Striped straws accent the drink-themed cupcakes.

Mexican blanket and pancho cupcakes are my Killer Chocolate Cake with colorful cream cheese buttercream frosting piped to match the patterns found in both hand weaved pieces of art work.

I hope they taste as good they look and I hope the bride-to-be has the best day!

When the birthday boy loves Oreos, I give him Oreos!!

This order was for Kolten's 17th birthday 🎂🎊🎈🎉

The cake is three layers of my Killer Chocolate cake frosted with fluffy, whipped, vanilla buttercream frosting. The layers are filled with more buttercream and cookie crumbles.

The cake is topped with crumbled regular Oreos, choclate sauce, and 3 different flavors of whole Oreos on top.

Happy birthday Kolten!

I had the honor of making a wedding cake for a bride and groom who believe in living life and enjoying it to its fullest.

The cake is 3 tiers of white wedding cake. The bottom 2 tiers are filled with raspberry curd and the top tier is filled with pineapple compote, per special request of the bride. 🍍 The cake is frosted in vanilla buttercream and I decorated it with silk flowers.

The decorations and setup done by the bride's family were all so beautiful! I wish the happy couple much joy and love 💞

I was given freedom to design this cake myself, with a few ideas for inspiration. I wasn't sure where I was going with this one until after the crumb coat was done and then the creative process kicked in full swing!

The cake is 3 layers of chocolate-chocolate chip cake with fudge filling and vanilla buttercream. I sketched the deer silhouette on parchment paper and traced it and filled in with chocolate melts.

Happy birthday Charlie!!

What"s your favorite dinosaur? Mine is a Tyrannosaurus Rex!! 🦖

All I could hear in my head while I was making this cake is the quote from Meet The Robinsons: "I've got a big head and little arms". 😂🦖😂

The cake is 2 layers of my buttermilk vanilla with raspberry filling and it's frosted with my cream cheese buttercream.

I hope the birthday boy enjoys his dinosaur cake!!

Supporting local and small businesses is a goal in our household.

We own and operate 2 small businesses and know that word of mouth can make or break a small business.

We had the opportunity to detail a vehicle for the owner/operator of Sweetly Baked Cookie Co., whom I always recommend for custom and delicious cookies.

She made and designed these awesome cookies as a little surprise for us! They are adorable! 🤩

If you need cookies for an event, or just because, check out her FB page and enjoy the best cookies ever!

You need something easy to serve when you're birthday celebration is on-the-go.

A pull apart cupcake design allows you to present a large themed display, but still allows guests to self serve and take the treat with them.

The birthday girl is in competition cheer and wanted a cake that matches her team's uniform. Go Silver Stars!

Cupcakes: strawberry
Frosting: vanilla buttercream
