Happy Day Gator Girl

The 18th birthday of one of my student photographers at the newspaper was recently observed and I made her a cake. She thinks she's all that now .....

And she is!

Double layer vanilla cake with Italian meringue buttercream frosting inside and out, topped with fondant zebra stripes "tie-dyed" flowers, and other touches.

Dreamy Orange Cuppies

Two weeks later and I'm back at "Deja Vu - A Unique Boutique" with Dreamy Orange Cuppies. Vanilla cupcakes with orange gelatin (like mum's poke cake), topped with two-tone frosting of half orange butttercream and half marshmallow fluff, topped with fondant blossoms. 

Think Creamsicle on a hot, summer day. Mmmmm. 

Freedom Fancies!

I teamed up with Deja Vu - A Unique Boutique to sell some Freedom Fancy Cuppies on the Friday before July 4th. Did a little internet and word of mouth announcement and ... everyone seemed pleased, and I definitely need to make more next time. Woooweee. They went fast. Think all the women downtown were stressing over holiday plans ... and luckily I supplied a bit of chocolate to help them out.

I try to do my part in this crazy thing we call life. Chocolate matters, people.

Chocolate cupcakes with a whipped chocolate ganache filling, Italian meringue buttercream frosting, and some fondant stars and stripes.
