Menage a Trois of Pink

A day with Emeril

On 10/30 I was blessed with an opportunity to work on the set of the Emeril show. He has a new show on the Discovery/Planet Green channel called Emeril Green. What an exciting day it was. My sons and I showed up at the Fairfax Whole Foods store early for our call time and was able to sneak just a few pics. Cameras were not allowed during shooting. Here is one shot of that day.

Brownie Burger Cupcakes

Just a cute after school treat for my little fella. Triple Chocolate Cupcakes are topped with mini burgers....mini Nilla wafers that I stuffed with cut brownies, colored fondant and colored lettuce. I used a store bought gel frosting for the ketchup. He loved them

Sweet Georgia Peach Schnapps Poundcake

I found some beautiful peaches at the local farmers market and had to find something to do with them beyond a cobbler. Strangely I was given a bottle of Peach Schapps by a friend recently and I began hammering out a recipe for a Peach Poundcake using the Peach Schnapps and ended up with this delicious beast :) The Poundcake is loaded with fresh chopped Peaches and then soaked overnight in Peach Schnapps.....2 Yummy!!

**I said strangely about the Schnapps becuz most ppl know I am a loyal Tequila sipper only.

Bohemian Birthday Cake

I created a funky Boho cake for a birthday. Bottom layer is a double 8" layer of Hummingbird Cake covered with a Cream Cheese frosting, topped with a 6" Chocolate Chocolate chip cake covered in a handpainted Leopard fondant design. I handpainted the "Hippie Chick" on fondant with edible markers and paint.

Triple Threat

Triple Candy Cake
This is a Chocolate Chip Chocolate Cake with an Oreo Buttercream - has a layer of crushed Oreos btwn the cakes - is then surrounded by Oreo cigars and finally topped with M&Ms

Chocolate + Buttercream + Cherries = 100% Delight

A delightfully moist 2 layer Chocolate Fudge Cake with a Vanilla Buttercream Frosting that is then decorated with Chocolate covered Cherries.

Ed Hardy Birthday Cake

A client loved the design of my Ed Hardy cupcakes so much she requested a cake for her husbands birthday. So I created Giant fondant playing cards (Ace, King & Queen) to top a bright blue fondant cake. The cake was a 2-layer vanilla cake with a Chocolate Buttercream filling. Thank you to my so Gavin for helping to blend, roll and knead that large blue fondant cover :)

More Ed Hardy Cupcakes

I made a few more...Hope you like!

Ed Hardy Cupcakes

Inspired by Ed Hardy I spent my morning drawing and painting these Blue Velvet cupcakes. I used a traditional Red Velvet recipe but, ofcourse, used Blue coloring instead of the Red.
