My FIRST fondant cake =D. Had some issues with it but still happy with how it turned out in the end so far =D.

Moon, Stars, Angel, and Lamb Baptism Cake for my friend Pia's son's christening =). This was a coconut cake with mango curd filling and fresh finely chopped mango fruit and coconut Swiss meringue buttercream.

Angel, Cross, and Lamb Decorated Cookies for my friend Pia's son's christening =). I really love these cookies -- buttery with a nice touch of tang from lemon zest and cream cheese.

Sorry for the poor quality of these photos (these were the only ones I was able to get and I was too busy finishing the cake to take my own), but here's a simple vanilla cake with milk chocolate ganache and covered with white chocolate fondant that I made for my company's holiday party! The texture you see near the bottom of each tier is sanding sugar I attached with a little bit of sugar syrup. The snowflakes were obviously in honor of the season, and the swoosh logo between the snowflakes is part of my company's logo. Happy Holidays, everyone!

PS - This was my first double barrel/extended tier cake and I had a heck of a time getting the fondant on that tall bottom layer...would love to get any tips on how to do it better!

Threw a party Saturday to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday this week. I made his favorite yellow cake with soft caramel frosting and some cupcakes I thought up. He's half Irish so I made chocolate cupcakes with homemade Irish cream topped with Irish cream SMBC and homemade chocolate cups containing Irish cream shots. Glad to say he liked it all! I tried not to go too girly with the display and I think I succeeded...except for the pompoms ...hahah.
