My girls

Most days I don't think that Taelyn and Lillian look alike, but I've come to realize that is because I don't really remember Taelyn's chubby baby look! She looks so different now than she did when she was a baby and it is hard to remember her that way. However, some days I come across her baby pictures and it really makes me realize how much my girls do look alike! Here are some pictures I was comparing today:

This is Taelyn at 4 months!

This is Lillian at 3.5 months. Lillian has filled out more now and looks more like the picture of Taelyn above. But they both have that same grin on their face!! 

Love these girls!!

Hostess-like Cupcakes for baby shower

Kelsey asked me to do some Hostess style cupcakes for a baby boy baby shower and they turned out so darn cute!! The cupcake was dark chocolate fudge and then they were filled with a marshmallow icing. I topped them with chocolate ganache and wrote little cute baby words on the top in the hostess style. They said "love," "baby" and "Alex" (which is the baby's name, of course!). These turned out so cute I made so extras for my bible study this morning and wrote the fruits of the spirit on them (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control). I can definitely see these being a great treat for Taelyn's class this year and writing all of the kids name's on the top!

Spunky Circles!!!

This cake was made for a mother's birthday.... I believe it was the 75th. The bottom tier of this cake is dark chocolate fudge and the top tier is french vanilla. It is covered in buttercream and then the circles are marshmallow fondant. The bow on top is also marshmallow fondant. I sprayed it with pearl lustre spray to give it a shimmer. I love the colors on this cake!!!

Batman Cupcakes

My nephew, Grayson, turned 6 last week. For his birthday he wanted batman cupcakes! They are a mix of french vanilla and milk chocolate cupcakes. Topped with buttercream. Finished off with a royal icing batman logo. Happy Birthday, big man!!

Baby Shower Cupcakes

I had the great privilege of making cupcakes for a baby shower for my friend, Katie. Katie and I lived together at MC and during a few summers and she was my maid of honor in my wedding! I love this girl and I am so excited that she is having a baby girl in a few short weeks! And even more excited that she is moving back to Jackson so that we can spend a lot more time together and our girls can grow up together! The cupcakes were a mix of strawberry and milk chocolate. They were topped with buttercream and I finished them off with royal icing decorations with a cute pink footprint on them. Then I sprinkled them with nonpareils. Happy baby, Katie! Can't wait to meet the sweet girl!!

Gumball Machine Cake

Last weekend I did a gumball machine cake for a 5th birthday party. The colors were all primary colors. The sheet cake was dark chocolate fudge and the gumball machine was milk chocolate fudge. The cake was covered in buttercream. I thought these colors looked so pretty together. We did a mini gumball machine for the birthday girl. It was strawberry and covered in buttercream.
