Barn Animals!

I recently had the pleasure of doing two fun barn animal parties that I wanted to show you :)

I was lucky that one of my customers sent me fabulous pictures of the dessert table they put together with the desserts I made.  Look how cute it was!

The sunflowers and chocolate pigs were from Jaques Torres

 

The Cupcakes!

Bridal Showers

I wanted to share some pretty bridal showers I have done over the past few months.  I have been expanding and trying to learn some sugar flowers.  These are very basic for now, but glad I can offer them and will hopefully continue to teach myself some more :) 

I really love simple cakes with a pop of design (which here is the flowers)

This was a lovely shower hosted in a home in northern Westchester.  They were great and sent me a lot of pictures :)

The Whole Spread!

I did the desserts for the dessert table and they did a fabulous job putting it together.  There were a variety of mini sandwich cookies, berry pie bars, cupcakes, cakepops and mini peach and berry tarts!

This is not a great picture but I wanted to show you the cute cupcake designs upclose.  The bride to be just got a scooter and the invitation had a scooter and balloons on it so we matched it with the cupcakes.  

Look how beautiful the tables were and such cute favors!

These were cupcakes for a shower that I put their edible logo on

Another simple cake with some edible sunflowers (sorry also not a great picture!)

 Another simple yet elegant bridal shower cake with flowers :)

Fun Children's Cakes!

I have been terrible about updating you all with my most recent kreations!  Once the summer hits it always amazes me how fast time flies and how it is over before you know it!  I cannot believe it is almost August.  Over the next few weeks I am going to catch you up on some of my favorites from June and July (and even some from May that I never shared).  A lot of my photos are from Instagram which is the easiest way for me to capture my cakes before they are delivered (you can always follow me on Instagram as well @kristanwatson).  I am also thankful for those of you that send me fabulous pictures :) 

I have had a lot of creative request for tons of different children's cakes that I wanted to share with you today :)

The first is a cake based on the movie Where the Wild Things Are - I did cookies as favors for the party as well


The next was a fun Pirate Cake I did for a little boy who turned 2

The next was a fun LA Lakers Jersey Cake for a little boy who chose the design of the cake himself - his last name is Poses and he turned 8 which is the meaning behind the name and number on the back

This cake was definitely a fun challenge for me! This was for a little girl who just came back from India and loved the Taj Mahal so much she wanted that for her birthday cake! I cannot take credit for the design though as the mother sent me a picture she liked, but I was happy I could come close to what she wanted.  

The last are actually cupcakes that were for a Build a Bear Birthday Party

Graduations!

Hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July holiday!  I wanted to share some graduation cakes and cupcakes that I made over the month of June.  

This was a cupcake tower for an 8th grade graduation.  THe cupcakes had an S for The Spence School, books and graduation caps.

 

This was another 8th Grade Graduation - A Cake was in order this time :)

  

My brother in law became a Doctor of Physical Therapy - so I was excited to make him a cake to celebrate!

 

These were just some mini cupcakes with graduation caps :)
