Nori's cute as a button birthday party

Last weekend we made cupcakes, cookies and cake pops for Nori's first birthday!

The theme for the day was 'Cute as a Button'!

How adorable!

Each cookie, cupcake and cake pop was decorated with colorful vanilla fondant button cutouts!

Cupcake and cake pop Flavors included strawberries and lemon with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream.

Happy Birthday baby Nori!

Kola Nut Themed Birthday Cake

We were asked by Ogechi to design and create a kola nut themed cake for her dad's birthday. If you're not familiar with the Kolanut, it's the fruit of the kola tree. It has a bitter flavor and contains caffeine. It is chewed in many West African countries- individually or in a group setting. It is often used ceremonially, presented to chiefs or presented to guests.

For more information on the kola nut, click here .

Everything on the cake is edible. The kolanuts were handcrafted out of fondant. Same for the basket.
 

The cake was vanilla pound cake with vanilla filling.

Feel free to browse this site for more traditional themed cakes.

Have a sweet week!

The blog has been really quiet for a while :) We were really busy this summer! But my fall 'resolution' (who needs New Years to make a resolution? lol) is to keep the blog updated!

Sometimes it's tough coming up with a cake design for a guy. When in doubt, turn to sports and mascots! This cake was made for a guy who loves his alma mater (Morgan State University). 

This was a Red Velvet Cake with White Chocolate Raspberry filling :)

 

The mascot was hand-cut out of fondant. Go Bears!
