Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. James Godfrey!!

 This is my most recent wedding cake. The cake is a classic white cake with vanilla buttercream. I made the 4 tier cake, a full sheet cake and also a grooms cake. The wedding was in Emporia, KS, which is about an hour and a half drive from Lawrence. It was nerve-racking, but with my husband's expert cake driving skills and my sister's mini van - we made it.

finally back to blogging....there is going to be a lot of new stuff!!

These are 3 new cupcakes that I tried out over Memorial Day weekend. It is always nice to be able to use your family as guinea pigs!!

The first is a new spin on the peanut butter cup cupcake. This time I used a white cake base with fudge frosting, peanut butter drizzle and a peanut butter cup on top.

The second is a cupcake version of the southern classic dessert - Bananas Foster. It is a roasted banana cake with a brown sugar caramel/dark rum buttercream with a warm (homemade-not jarred) caramel sauce and topped with a bruleed banana slice.

The third creation is a take on key lime pie. I made a graham craker cupcake (sounds odd, huh?) and topped it with a key lime cream cheese frosting and sprinkles of crushed graham crackers. I had to finish it with a fresh wedge of key lime. The perfect summertime treat!

new cupcakes...

Just a few new cupcakes that I have made. The first is obviously cookie monster! The second was for a friend's new design company - 7fifteen design. The third was for a friend's baby shower. Interestingly...they were all white cake with buttercream! :)

This cake was for my friend Sara's mom, Bev. It is a white cake with a light strawberry cream cheese filling. The flowers are made of gumpaste and dusted with different shades of luster dust (edible glitter). Happy Birthday Bev!

This is a cake that I made for my sister's National Honor Society induction ceremony at her high school. It is a full sheet cake that is half white cake with fresh strawberry buttercream and half dark chocolate fudge with chocolate chip buttercream. Congratulations new NHS members!!

This is a groom's cake that I made this weekend. It is a basic white cake covered in orange fondant to resemble a wrestling mat. The school logos are made out of edible images (food coloring printed out onto sheets of sugar).

These are the 4 flavors of cupcakes I made to take to my family Easter. I maybe went a little overboard, but what the heck! That is what family get togethers are all about, right?? I made carrot cake (at my husband and little sister's requests). It is topped with cream cheese icing and dusted with nutmeg. I made sugared pecans for decoration. I also made tiramisu cupcakes. They are a very light vanilla bean cake that gets soaked with a sugar, coffee and marsala mixture. After a few hours, they get topped with a mascarpone whipped cream and dusted with cocoa powder. Third I made my basic vanilla bean cake with vanilla bean buttercream. I made "flowers" out of dehydrated pineapple. Lastly, S'MORES!!! They are a dark chocolate fudge cake dipped in chocolate ganache. They are topped with marshmallow frosting and that gets torched to toast the marshmallow. Stick in a graham cracker and you are set!! Just like a summer night around the campfire! I hope you like!!! Love, camicakes.
