Kitchen Creations - August

Hello there,
Remember me?
Maybe you had forgotten about me... I know I haven't been around in a few weeks, but I definitely have not forgotten about you.

Man oh man, have I been busy this month. To put it simply, 3 weddings, 8 days, serious hand cramping. But I'm not complaining, I love to be part of those special occasions, and a wedding is certainly very special.

But, first this month, before the wedding madness, I had some cupcakes that were just for fun.

 These are triple chocolate cupcakes with chocolate mint filling topped off with chocolate icing, green sprinkles and a junior mint. Mmm Mmm!

And some triple chocolate cupcakes filled with strawberry fruit topped off with chocolate icing, red sprinkles and an extra dollop of strawberry fruit. It's like a chocolate dipped strawberry, in cupcake form.

A few days later a very special little girl (my god daughter) had her 2nd birthday... and to celebrate, I had a blast making some abby cadabby treats.

Of course you need the birthday cake. I just loved abby's sweet little face, and her wand. I added the message and stars to make the cake pop a little using chocolate. But I didn't stop there, no, of course not.

 I also made these pink and purple cupcakes topped off with pink and purple chocolate stars and shimmering sugars....

and these ginormous abby star wands (that are actually brownie pops). So sweet on the sparkly display stand! Perfect for a sweet little girl who loooooves pink and purple! Happy Birthday baby girl, xoxo

Now, the part you've been waiting for. The first wedding this month was that of my oldest friend. I was so honored when he asked me to make his wedding cake...and feeding 120 guests was no small feat. The couple decided on a dummy display cake as well as small rounds to be served to the guests.

Rather than cover the guest cakes in a basic frost, I decided to dress them up with this beautiful rosette/shell. And I think I made the right call, look how nice it looked plated...

Who would not want to receive this dessert at a wedding? Not only did it look pretty, but it was a delicious champagne cake filled with fresh strawberries and finished off with a hint of raspberry icing. Best wedding cake ever! *(If I do say so myself)*

So, are you ready to see the actual wedding cake?

The wedding colors were teal and yellow, so this simple white cake with teal burst flowers and yellow pearl accents looked perfect against the backdrop of the wedding decor. Congratulations on your marriage my friends, I wish you a long and happy life together!

Oh, I'm not done yet, a few days later I had another wedding cake...rather 61 mini wedding cakes to make. I will admit, I thought my hand might fall off from all of the piping on these cakes, but it was well worth it.

Here is the whole display, 60 mini minis, and 1 slightly larger mini for the bride and groom with their adorable topper. Here's a closer look at the bride and groom's cake...

So sweet! This couple also chose champagne cake with strawberries. It really is a lovely cake for celebrations.

Then, a mere two days later was the third and final wedding. This couple chose a black and white theme for their wedding, and so this half and half cake was perfect for their decor.

Accented with black and white pearls and custom black and white roses, the couple loved their cake. Finished off with their custom cake topper that they can keep in their home. Congratulations (once again) to my cousin and her new husband!
*Just incase you're wondering what you're seeing in the background, the wedding ceremony and reception were held on a boat, neat idea, right?!*

Lastly this month I made some lion cake pops for a little boy's first birthday and baptismal. The theme was lions, so I made these custom pops in triple chocolate, chocolate cherry cola, and strawberry.

Look at their happy little faces. Don't ya just wanna eat them up!? Finished off with custom thank you tags, these little guys were a much loved treat at this special occasion.

Well my darlings, that's all for this month.

Maybe I'll have something in store for you soon for back to school. Until then, enjoy the last days of summer and your long weekend.

Love and sprinkles, xoxo
