Babies, Babies and More Babies!

I know so many people who are expecting...and it seems more and more announce theirs every day! My grandmother swears it's because we're at war. She says it happens every time the country is fighting and that it's always more boys! Who knows if that's true or not, but I do know that baby showers are some of my favorite projects and this past weekend was no different!

Cirque du Bebe
My inspiration for this piece was bold colors and circus animals- french style! The father-to-be is from France and even proposed to the mother-to-be in Paris!! So, what better way to celebrate their upcoming bundle of joy than with the perfect french experience!! I worked with a fantastic event coordinator, Tyler Harnish with Ta Da Events by Ty here in Myrtle Beach, who came up with this fantastic theme and the pictures speak for themselves! This two tiered vanilla cake with chocolate ganache filling was covered in buttercream with marshmallow fondant details. The toppers were made from rice crispy treats and are also covered with the fondant.

"The cake is all gone! We loved it! And the rice crispy treat animals were sooo yummy!" A.M. Florence, SC


Sweet Peas in a Pod
This cake/cupcake combo was for a funky little Architect named Emily and her twin boys! I was given the color scheme and free reign on the rest...the mini cake was vanilla bean flavored and covered in buttercream with marshmallow fondant details, including the handmade pod and peas topper. There were four different flavors of cupcakes which were all iced in buttercream and dusted with chocolate sprinkles. To finish off the party, each guest took home their very own little pea- a cake pop dipped in green white chocolate to match the topper.

"ADORABLE!!! Thanks, again!" L.P Myrtle Beach, SC




I had a ball with both of these cakes...they were both unconventional and unique! Just the way I like it!
