CLASE AZUL TEQUILA CAKE

This is a grooms cake I made last week for a Tequila aficionado as a present from his future mother-in-law.  The bride sent me an empty bottle (should have had at least a taste left in it!!) and I copied it out of chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream. I covered it with fondant and hand painted all the detail.  It was a real challenge to make it standing up.

ALEXIS & BROCK'S ORCHID WEDDING CAKE

 I love the flowers on this cake!!  So many beautiful colors and all different kinds of orchids.
The cake was all chocolate with three different fillings, chocolate ganache, vanilla buttercream, and a coffee mocha buttercream. 
The bride and groom are the nicest couple and it was a real pleasure making this cake for them.

This is a cute picture of them after tasting the cake.  I think Alexis is over the top in love with the taste of the cake.  Well maybe!!

And here is a note from her mom Linda:
"Not only was the cake beautiful and perfect, it tasted fabulous!"

"bebe" COOKIES

"bebe" is a local woman's clothing store on El Paseo in Palm Desert California.  El Paseo is the Rodeo Dr. of the desert. 
I made these cookies for them.  The colors requested were pink and black and I decided to put a black rose in the corner of the cookie and added two little green leaves.  I wrapped each cookie individually and tied the celo bag with either a black or pink ribbon.

BEE & HAPPY FACE CUPCAKES

Don't Worry "Bee" Happy


Don't Worry "Bee" Happy was the theme for the ladies golf tournament at the Citrus Country Club.  I came up with this design for their dessert which was also part of the centerpiece at each table.  Half of the cupcakes were Lemon with lemon curd filling and the other half of the cupcakes were Chocolate with chocolate ganache filling.  I made the Bee's by hand using fondant and put them on an uncooked piece of linguine to keep the entire cupcake edible.

TRILOGY COUNTRY CLUB CAKE


This cake was done for Trilogy Country Club for the ladies 9'rs group. I also made individual cupcakes for each lady at their end of the season luncheon.  The flavor of the cake and cupcakes were lemon with lemon curd filling.

The stick figure on top of the cake is their logo for the group.  Cute!!

Just received this note from the event organizer:

Just a quick note...First of all the ladies REALLY loved the cupcakes,
and Nancy REALLY loved her cake.  Everything was a big hit!  Thank you
so much.
