Butterflies in Buttercream

Butterfly Drawing Cake

I decorated this little multi-tiered cake from a drawing that my niece made for me. Hers was so sweet that I thought it should taste that way, too.

Here's a little cake catch-up

Sorry, I haven't posted anything new for a while. This site was going to be a place for my cakes, but it seems all I have been doing lately is cupcakes. So, if you want to see what all I've been up to, check out www.bakerella.com. And seeing these pics all together now makes me realize I need to make another cake.

Little Lollipop Cakes

These little cakes are my new favorite thing to make. I loved making red velvet cake balls, but this is the first time I have tried that recipe with something other than red velvet. The chocolate cake was great and somehow putting them on a lollipop stick made them seem even better. Now, I'm going to have to try more cake combinations. Yikes!

These cake plates are so lovely. I've been on the hunt for some like this, but I can't decide what to get. I like them all.

Little Pink & Purple Princess cake

Here's my first cake created with the new Kitchenaid mixer. This little chocolate cake was inspired by my six-year old niece. She did some artwork a while back that I saved. I thought the colors would make a nice pattern. You can see her artwork here.

I better get baking

After years of using a cheap hand mixer, I've finally moved to the big leagues with my brand new Kitchenaid artisan stand mixer. I was totally surprised to get this pink beauty for Christmas. I haven't used it yet, but I can't wait to try it out. I hope it improves my "from scratch" baking.
