Fashionable Cake

So this week has been busy busy to say the least!  I am working quickly to get the etsy shop up with fondant pieces to accessorize your store bought & homemade cakes along with other sweet & creative things!

I have been doing utilizing this idea since last summer when we were on vacation and I needed a cake for my husbands birthday and I knew I would not be able to bake one myself.  I did know that I would be able to make fondant pieces prior to leaving on vacation to take with me to decorate a cake that a bakery simply dirty iced for me!  Check out the photos from my husband's 40th birthday last summer to see.

So with that and what was shown a few weeks ago from the Fresh Chick, I will be opening a shop with Fondant Pieces for you to dress up a bakery cake, store bought or a cake you simply bake yourself!

I will have very unique and fun pieces for everyone to take advantage of semi-decorating your cake!

Until then here is a sweet fashionable cake I was able to do for a fantastic tween this weekend!  Inspired by the legendary Barbie herself!  I am also on a shabby chic vintage kick with preparing for a shabby chic tea party in the upcoming weeks.  I love the look of this cake with the icing and fondant pieces.......

Peace, Love & Cakes~

Fat Tuesday ideas! Doughnuts or Donuts~

Fat Tuesday is quickly approaching!  How do you celebrate?  I asked yesterday on my Facebook page and a few told me that they celebrate with Doughnuts or Faschnauts or Paczki's which are all basically some form of a doughnut!

Doughnuts are in full swing in stacking & serving them in different ways! I thought it would be fun to share!  


 Here is a picture from an Oktoberfest I did back in the beginning of October last year at a local street fair celebration and stacked chocolate doughnuts along side my cupcakes which where a huge hit.  

The Superchick from Celebrate today the Superchick way stacked doughnuts on a CAKE for her daughters birthday!  Yum!

Remember the winter wonderland cookies I made for Pam from Party Starters? Along side of them she  served doughnuts and placed them in cupcake liners which is a super sweet idea!

My friend Kim from The Tomkat Studio just styled sweet girl party ideas for HGTV and created a doughnut cake too!

Are you hungry yet?  Are you ready for Fat Tuesday?  I know I am!  I'm planning to serve up a few different types of doughnuts for the family and I can't wait!


Peace, Love & Doughnuts~
