Here Comes the Bride...I Mean Cake!

A few months ago I made my FIRST wedding cake for my co-worker Jennie's wedding! Boy was I was a ball of nerves.

At first she said she and her groom just wanted anything chocolate.  Something simple. Cool...I can do that.  Then they changed it to chocolate cake with raspberry filling and cream cheese icing for their cake. Also, basic chocolate and vanilla for the cupcakes for the guests.  No sweat! Oh, and she wanted a fern on the cake to match her invitations. Ok...I can get that done with no problems.

Long story short, I sweated a lot when it came to that fern! I just didn't like anything that I tried. I tried it with fondant. I tried icing sheets. I tried icing it on the cake.  Nothing worked for me.  So, I called a local baker who owns a bakery and supply store.  She is a wealth of information and doesn't mind sharing her wisdom with us novices.  Well, she told me to use a silk fern.  Simple as that.  So off to Michaels I went.

Here are pictures taken at the wedding by the photographer. I didn't like the ones I took that much.

Huge thanks to my creative 7 year old assistant Naomi for arranging the cuppies!

Cupcake toppers



Sweet Hudsyn had to have her own special cupcake with pink, purple, and green sprinkles!

I enjoyed my first wedding cake experience and look forward to many more.  Yup, I will continue to practice, practice, practice!

More Sugar Cookie Truffles!

These babies have become a favorite at my office.  My co-workers son graduates from college this weekend and she ordered 8 dozen for his open house.  Please excuse my picture quality. I am working on getting a new camera.  Any suggestions?

Well, not much to say this post but will be posting Mother's Day delights soon!

Love you to crumbs!

Sugar Cookie Truffles

Oh yeah! I have been trying to make these babies ever since I saw them on Cookies and Cups.  Go and check her out, she is awesome!

My plan was to give them out as treats for the new year at my church and work but I ended up sick! Boooo germs!!! Let me tell you, they taste like heaven! I used the recipe provided on the Cookies and Cups blog but made a couple of changes.  I used white Almond Bark instead of white chocolate chips and added cheesecake flavoring.  I have to say it, they were AMAZING!! 

I am still working on my dip, roll and set technique but I think that they turned out pretty good!  I am also looking into getting a better camera!  Sorry for the not so good quality pics.

Looks like a bowl of ice cream with sprinkles on top!!



I love pink!

The next time I make them I will use my sugar cookie recipe and white chocolate chips.  I have a few flavors in mind that I want to try and can't wait to try them!  Do you have any suggestions?

Love you to crumbs!
