Seattle Seahawks Football Field Birthday Cake

I enjoyed decorating this birthday cake. When decorating this birthday cake,  I had some challenges. 






Thanksgiving Red Velvet Cupcakes

These scrumptious cupcakes were my family's Thanksgiving desserts.  The cupcakes were moist.  My in-laws were enjoying this delicious cupcakes.

The red velvet cupcake was iced with milk chocolate buttercream.




More Scrumptous Ube Cakes

There were three purple yam cakes ordered for Thanksgiving Day. All cakes were decorated the same, so I only took I picture of the three cakes.  

My foolproof recipe was a hit again.  The cakes were moist and dense.  It was so traditionally flavored that I received so many compliments that the cake was delicious.


Moist, dense ube cake

The ube cake turned up to be gorgeous.  Baking ube cake always possess a challenge.  When cakes cool down, the weight of the cake tends to rise and drop down as the cake settles, and it ruins the side of the cake.


The ube cake color is perfect!  It has the traditional purple hue of a Filipino ube cake.  


The ube cake is sprinkled with the toasted with ube cake.

Neapolitan Cupcakes

My good friend's son had his birthday party at a farm in New Jersey. Since my friend's children enjoyed the cupcakes I made for my son's birthday party, I made the same cupcake flavors for her son's birthday party.

The Neapolitan cupcakes were decorated like an ice cream sundae.  The cupcake filling was a vanilla buttercream.  The cupcake was drizzled with Hershey chocolate syrup sprinkled with candy sprinkles.

Mickey Mouse Cupcake Favor

My son celebrated his 2nd birthday.  He loves Mickey Mouse.  I decided to make




Farewell Party Cupcake

Cookies n' Creme cupcake is anyone's favorite, but for Shara, she loves it.  A friend of mine ordered 2 dozens of Cookies n' Crème for her farewell party, but at the last minute she added 2 more dozens.  I was short with fondant roses.  It was originally for 2 dozens, but it worked out.



The cupcake itself is cookies n' crème.  The Italian meringue vanilla-flavored buttercream. 


Roses were not part of the original order, but for my friend, I went a little extra.  In the end, the presentation was gorgeous and it was not what they expected.


5 minutes after the speech, the cupcakes are gone...all gone!  Some had 5, as I heard. The cupcake received so much compliments from colleagues, Managers, Director, VP's, and Executives.

This cake was for Dustin and Danielle for their bridal party.  The cake was a marble cake filled with chocolate mousse filling.  The tree stump was airbrushed with shimmering silver food color and hand painted to provide wood accents.  The dirt was dried and crushed chocolate cake. The mushroom was made of vanilla fondant.
