Spring Daffodils

Spring has been a bit on the chilly and rainy side this year, but I still love to look out my window to see this...beautiful daffodils in bloom!  They are so gorgeous and make me think SPRING, even if the weather leaves a bit to be desired.  What could be better inspiration for a spring cake than daffodils!?

That is my inspiration......                                                     

This is my cake!

Some pics of the flowers & ladybugs up close...

This is a four layer white almond sour cream cake filled with cannoli cream filling (yep - another cannoli cake!) and frosted with vanilla cornflower blue buttercream.   

The daffodils and leaves are hand made from gumpaste and fondant.   This cake wasn't for a customer, rather I brought it to my husband's family's Easter celebration. I'm happy to say it was a success - earning the "Best Cake Ever" comments from more than one in attendance - yay!

  

Happy Spring!

Spring is in the air....

When I think of Spring, I think of two things:  (1) Finally getting the jogging stroller out of the attic and going on long weekend jogs with my toddler; and (2) flowers, flowers and more flowers!

I made these cute little flower cupcakes for a charity event. 

Aren't they simply adorable!?! 

 The cupcakes are White Almond Sour Cream and the flowers are made from Vanilla Buttercream.  yum! 





 I think that they are almost too pretty to eat....almost!

These are my first buttercream flower cupcakes and I'm so thrilled with how they turned out!!  I hope they are a hit at the event!

Oh, and HAPPY SPRING everyone!!
