A cake and coordinating cupcakes for a tropical themed teen party ...
Yes, everything except the stand is edible, and that is buttercream in those sunset colors under the hand-cut hibiscus flower design and chocolate shells and starfish.
The next one was inspired by the birthday girl's love for Robin in the style of Teen Titans. This was a load of fun to make!
This delicious creation was made for the sweetest young lady, Emmie, who was celebrating her 8th birthday with a splash at a local spring-fed pool, Venetian Pool. It was a gorgeous day, and she was thrilled with her cake!
I had a unique request from my sister for my nephew's last birthday. She wanted a rock candy cake. I thought it was a different request and wondered how to incorporate glitzy, sparkly rock candies into a cake for him. Then she showed me the "rock candy" and it was little chocolates made to look like actual rocks. Being the crazy tia that I am, that's what the kiddo got ... a cake full of rocks, albeit chocolate ones, for his birthday.
Remember, life is sweet, but delicious desserts make life's most memorable events even sweeter.
