Cakessica Bleeds Red

After a long summer break (hence no new posts since June) I am back at it. Fall is beginning, days are getting shorter and nights are getting cooler which means football season is underway. As a former Ute, it's only natural that I was pretty excited to watch them play BYU and decided to make a cake for the event. The cake featured a hand painted University of Utah logo and fondant football resting in buttercream grass.

It was vanilla cake with cookies and cream filling and swiss meringue buttercream. And of course, it had to be RED!

Victory never tasted so good!

Buttercream Roses

Generally roses are not my favorite flower...unless they are made out of white chocolate buttercream! These simple flowers made for an elegant and tasty addition to this dark chocolate cake. I played around with colors and ended up with pale purple roses and then purple/red roses. There will definitely be more floral cakes in my decorating future!

Beach Bear Cupcakes

In anticipation for summer to begin, I decided to make a fun, summer themed cupcake. These cupcakes feature a sandy beach and umbrella for the sun-bathing bears :) Enjoy your summer!!!

Odds and Ends

I made these cakes quite a while ago but just haven't got around to posting them.

I made this cake for a Kings of Leon fan to have at a release party for their latest CD. It was pumpkin cake with vanilla custard filling and maple buttercream.

This cake I made just for fun. I don't remember the flavor but I'm assuming it had chocolate in there somewhere. I always find a way to include chocolate in any cake that I make for myself.

Mini Mouse Birthday Cake

I made this cake for a friend whose daughter just turned 1. It was vanilla and red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream.

Happy Birthday Kylea!

Baby Shower Cake

Holly's Wedding Cake

Colby's sister, Holly, got married this weekend and she asked me to make her wedding cake! It was lemon cake with lemon custard filling and chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream.

Congratulations Dustin and Holly!

Dad's Birthday & Super Bowl Sunday

We celebrated my Dad's birthday on Super Bowl Sunday and this was the cake I made to celebrate both events. It was yellow cake with salted carmel buttercream filling, toasted coconut and chocolate buttercream.
