Baby Shower Cakes

Petal Cake, Vertical & Horizontal Ruffle Cakes, Rosette Cake, and Mini Rosette Cake.

These cakes were just not for any ordinary baby shower- they were for my baby shower.
I know you're probably thinking, "Who makes their own baby shower cakes?"
Well the answer is the same girl who made her own birthday cake last year, and this is because I am picky when it comes to cake.

Surprise!

 I really am. I am so critical of cake and frosting it almost makes me feel bad.
Honestly, what it comes down to is quality of ingredients. Everything I make is homemade and fresh using simple ingredients. Good ingredients make good cakes.



These gorgeous cakes are no exception.
All five were each a different flavor combination, but all fiver were frosted in Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream Frosting.

Princess Tiara Cookies


I had the opportunity to make cookies for a baby shower for a friend's friend. The couple was expecting their first baby, a sweet little girl named Kimora. My friend planning the shower, Nicole, throws the most beautiful, thoughtful, and well coordinated parties of anyone I know. This shower was appropriately themed as a princess shower for new little one, so tiara shortbread cookies were the perfect choice.

I hand decorated each cookie with color flow icing, royal icing, and a variety of sanding sugars and sprinkles. After the color flow had dried, and before adding the piping details, I brushed each cookie with luster dust to add shimmer. I was inspired to do all of the piping by these cookies I came across on the internet doing a google search. I loved the intricacy. The pearlized sprinkles make these cookies fit for a princess.

"K" is for Kimora.
