Beach Ball Themed 1st Birthday and Smash Cake

These cakes were inspired by the invitation design for this beach ball themed first birthday party. Cake is vanilla, iced in buttercream, with fondant accents. The smash cake is all buttercream. The client loved it, and so did I! I was kind of sad to deliver it because it was so cute!

 

Welcome Baby Ellis!

A client of mine was expecting a baby, and wanted cookies to take to the hospital to share with her family, friends, and doctors and nurses. I thought it was such a neat idea to do that! Congratulations to the Ashwood family in welcoming baby Ellis into the world!

It's a Boy!

I was asked by some very good friends of mine to make a cake and cookies for their gender reveal party. They are big Texas Tech fans, (as am I) and they asked that I make the treats in a Texas Tech theme...football helmets for a boy, and megaphones for a girl. If the baby was a boy, they wanted chocolate filling in their cake, and if it was a girl, strawberry filling. It was very exciting to be the first one to know the gender of their baby, but it was so hard to keep the secret! They were thrilled to find out that their baby will be a boy...baby Owen. Congratulations Maggie and Ryan! I am so thrilled for you guys!

 

Baby Shower Cookies

Thumbprint Cookies

Thumbprint cookies are soft, shortbread-like cookies that have the perfect amount of sweetness. These make a great baby or wedding shower dessert, and the icing colors can be customized to fit any theme or occasion. If I had to choose any cookie, I'd have to say these are my favorite.
