I'm a little late posting this but this past week has been CRAZY! (me likey!)

This cake was at Deer Creek Golf Club in Overland Park. Three tiers stacked, offset with buttercream icing and monogram topper.
Grooms cake was Pitt State Gorillas. Peanut butter cake with chocolate ganache...yum!
Cupcake tree at the brides church in Leawood. All white cake with whipped icing and fresh strawberries and blueberries
Another cupcake tree at Starkers on the Plaza. Cupcakes were red velvet with cream cheese and pumpkin with cream cheese. I think at first the bride may have been shy to ask, but they wanted me to use the grooms deceased grandpas pumpkin cupcake recipe. Of course, I didn't mind and let me tell ya, the recipe was GREAT! Flowers by Jennifer Techau.
And just for kicks, thought I'd let you know what 3 year olds do for fun when your back is turned. Just before pre-school pictures and our family pics with the great Solars...Molly manages to chop every single bang off her head. Great.........

Awwwww!!!!

I want one! Too bad, I'm already half-way done with Molly's costume...she's going to be a giant chocolate chip cookie (will post pics when I'm done.) I tried desperately to get one of her brothers to be a carton of milk but of course that would be dorky..;)



Anyways, isn't this the cutest costume ever? Maybe next year she'll want to be a cupcake.

It seems like everyone knows someone that has battled cancer...I felt honored to do this sheet cake for a Susan G Koman Breast Cancer Golf Tournament

Yet another Jayhawk cake. This was a bit of a different situation, the bride had already hired a cake lady but decided to have me do the grooms cake. Whatev...I'm cool like that!
Did this Spongebob cake for a 5 year olds birthday. Now Molly wants one for her birthday!

This weekend was the weekend for the crazy polka-dot cakes. This cake was done to match the hat box it sits on. Bride decorated Lee Andrew Interiors using brocade patterns. The brides mom is that super talented Jan Simonelli of Photo Momentos...check out her and her husbands work on their blog.
This one was a mad-hatter style using the couples orange and green colors. Butter cake with chocolate ganache and chocolate cake with bavarian cream filling.
This was a little cupcake tree I did for a small bridal show in Grandview at The View
