Garden Cupcakes

Chocolate Garden Cupcakes

I made some chocolate cupcakes, frosted them in chocolate icing covered them in crushed oreo and then decorated them with fondant that I molded into tiny vegetables.  I got the idea from Pinterest.

 They were a hit at the local farmer's market here in Nome.

Wedding Cake for the Hughes

I made this cake for Lori (Keller) Hughes and Gerald Hughes wedding.  3 tiered cake. Bottom and top are Devil's food chocolate cake with cherry pie filling and the middle tier is white cake with orange flavored buttercream.  All covered in fondant and decorated with pink roses.  This took about 3 days to complete.  On the 3rd day I stood back and I saw everything that I had made, and, behold, it was very good. And on the 4th day... I rested :-)

 

This photo was taken before I added the flowers I wanted you to see the details on the trim.
