It's a Girl! [Not Mine]

I love it when people ask me to make cupcakes for the special occasion, or even just a work celebration. I feel honored and it gives me an outlet to be super creative.

This time, I have for you some "It's a Girl" cupcakes for a coworker who just had a baby girl. He has been away from work, so tomorrow (Monday), he is hopefully going to be super surprised and super happy with the end result. Here are some pictures of my creations.

You can also see the full album on my FB page. Please go like it and support Kat's Bakes.

It's so easy being green...when you've got GREEN Velvet Cupcakes!

What can I say? I'm tootin' my own horn! These babies came out PERFECT! I guess after the whole wedding cake "situation" I wanted to prove to myself that I still had the touch. Well, I DO! Also, an early thanks to a new friend, Jaime, for coming out later today to take pictures. My babies are being photographed for the first time *professionally*. Anyway, I won't blab on any longer. Get ready for some pictures!

Two more weeks!

No, not two more weeks until something big for me. It's something very wonderful for my friend--she's getting married! I am making her main wedding cake. I've done a stacked cake once before, but it was for a bridal shower, and not nearly as big as this one is going to be. It's also going to be square, not round like you're used to seeing. I also have another challenge in front of me, and that's using cream cheese frosting instead of regular butter cream. Since it's not as sturdy as butter cream, I'll have to MAKE it sturdier by adding...well, more butter, of course! I have supplies for the "stack" part of the project, so I'll be able to gauge difficulty once those arrive. As for now, I'm hoping to have a sample cake made by next Monday at the latest. I'll keep you posted on the progress. When it's complete, I'll definitely post pictures.
