My 2nd cake of month for April is a Winnie the Pooh and friends baby shower cake. This was my first attempt at making figures out of fondant. I hope you enjoy.
Happy St Patricks Day. I did a wedding cake/cupcake cake for our niece Christine and her husband Nathan on St Patricks Day 2012. It was a beautiful day on the Potomac River in Virginia. Vanilla Bean cake with fresh strawberries and fresh vanilla buttercream icing. 
Happy Valentines Day to all. This year I had the pleasure of making 4 "Wedding sheet cakes" for "The Paxon Revival Center" in Jacksonville, Fl. On Valentine's day each year, Paxon Revival Center offers "Free" weddings for all. This year they married 54 couples. They also have members renew their wedding vows. This year they had a couple renew their Wedding Vows after 50 years of marriage. It was an awesome way for my husband, Pat and I to spend Valentines Day. 
"Charmed Cake of the Month". My daughter Jennelle thought this would be a good idea to add to my blog every month. My cake of the month is a birthday cake made for a returning customer, Renata, Thanks Renate. It is a butter pound cake with vanilla buttercream and covered in fondant, mainly purple. I hope you enjoy my newest creation.
Cupcakes anyone. A new flavor is Florida Orange cupcakes with orange buttercream icing, swirled orange and white, white chocolate chips and orange edible glitter. Tthis is also an awesome flavor for a spring time cake, baby shower or a bridal shower. Another idea are mini cupcakes, very fun for any gathering and you can mix and match the cake and icing flavors and colors, another great idea for baby and bridal showers.
GO JAGS, 2012! This cake was made for a grooms cake. It was also flavored like margharita. Everyone loved it. 
Happy new Year to all. Here is the picture of the stadium cake tha I made for the annual Florida State vs Florida game. The cake wa chocolate with raspberry buttercream and vanilla bean cake with vanila buttercream.
This week, I made a wedding cake for a great couple. Kay Dupree wanted stenciing on top layer of cake. I've gotten to know Kay and Todd (bride and groom) over the past 3 months. This was a second marriage for the both of them. During the wedding ceremony, Todd and Kay and their 5 children poured sand into a vase and became a "family". I think with all that the family has gone thru the past 3 months, the stenciling on the cake represents strength and fragility. It was a fantastic day. Congrats to Todd and Kay Dupree. 
On Sept 6, 2011 I was honored to have been asked to make a cake for the Women's VA CLinic that is finally opened in the city of Jacksonville, Fl I am a veteran of 20 years having served in the finest Navy in the world. I made a 1/2 sheet cake with the Veterans Seal on it and I also made 5 satellite cakes with the emblem of all 5 military services on each cake, Navy, Marine Corps, Airforce, Army and the United States Coast Guard. I also had the priviledge to have met about 100 women veterans that have served our fine country over the past 50 years. 
This past week I made a margarhita cake for a surprise birthday party. The cake had freshly squeezed lime juice, triple sec and tequela. Not too much, but the cake had an amazing flavor and I also made a lime buttercream filling. Decorated in lime green and pink fondant accents. I was told everyone loved it, so it was success. Happy Birthday Cristen.
Here is a picture of the animal cupcakes I created last week. The gymnast's loved them.
