"Poppin" up some birthday fun!

For my daughter's birthday this year we celebrated at the movie theater. What better treat to have than a tub of popcorn! This tub of popcorn was not ordinary though, it was a cake! I made a red velvet cake with a cream cheese filling. I decorated the sides to look like a popcorn tub and then topped it with my very own buttered popcorn...(marshmallows) The kids loved it and it was the perfect centerpiece.

These are the popcorn cupcakes that I made and sent with her to school on her birthday. I wanted to practice making the popcorn before making the cake. They loved it!

All the little girls love Tinkerbell. I made this cute cake for a sweet friend of mine's little girl. It was a chocolate cake with buttercream icing. Have I mentioned that I love making cute children's cakes? :-)


This cake was one my husband and I worked together on back in the summer. It was quite the challenge, but something we wanted to try. We were going for the "real tree" camo look, and felt we accomplished it pretty well.

A friend of mine was in need of a pretty, yet simple cake, and I said I would give it a shot. It resembles the one I made for mine and my husband's 10 year vow renewal (which is posted down below) Because I made that one for myself, I felt confident that I could do it again. I also made two sheet cakes that you can see off to the corner of the picture. It turned out so beautiful, and the flowers that they had to place on top really made it pop! The cake was a lemon cake with a lemon cream cheese filling in two of the layers, and a raspberry mousse in the middle layer. It was iced in a lemon buttercream very subtle, yet fresh flavors.
