Peach colored birthday cake with pastel pink and apricot colored roses and pearlized dragees.  The cake is pink champagne cake with Guava cream filling (This is my absolute favorite combination!  I tried it on a lark and ended up loving it.  I got the idea from a cuban pastry I ate a while back.)  I call this "Guava Lava" cake.  Kinda catchy, huh?!





Fall Cookies- Leaves and Turkeys!  

Okay, so it's not really fall.  I forgot to post these and found them in my camera the other day.  I love how the turkeys came out, but I HATE working with black icing.  Just a tip....If you are using black icing, whether homemade or store-bought, you MUST let the other colors dry completely..preferably under a fan or your black icing will run into the other colors and it looks worse that a woman with mascara running down her cheeks! 




Tiffany Gift Box Cake!


Who doesn't love the iconic Tiffany's.  Although I've never been there, I think I created a pretty decent rendition of the Tiffany gift box.  This was for a lady who loves Tiffany jewelry and was celebrating her 40th birthday. 
Her sister asked me to create something reminiscent of Tiffany's for her.  This is a white almond sour cream cake filled with whipped cream and apricot filling.  

Of course it's covered in blue fondant and sprinkled with lots of edible glitter! 
This is a cookie bouquet that I created and donated to our missionaries from church for a silent auction to finance their trip.  It's a garden bouquet in a lavender seed box.  Just looking at it makes me long for spring.  It's sooooo cold right now in New Mexico!
It's a cookie...A tattoo rose cookie...I feel like I need to put on a leather jacket and spiked bracelets when I look at it....So cool....These are for a friend who has breast cancer.
