Summer Beginnings

Well, the start of summer has officially started!  Hip hip horray!  So much is happening: graduations, proms, 8th grade dances, picnics, weddings, engagements, babies (nope, not me), and many more exciting things.  I'm so fortunate to be a part of it, too.  Below are some pictures of the mini cupcakes I made:  cherry chip with cherry flavored frosting.  Let me tell you, those little stinkers were a T.R.E.A.T.! 

Also included is the graduation cake I made for my friend, Lisa.  Her son graduated high school.  Gold is not an ideal color to find in fondant, so I painted the circles with gold petal dust.  The graduation cap is....well, not the best.  Still cute, though, with rice krispie treats to help.  My black fondant was just not having a cooperative day! 

Anyway, more to come in a couple of weeks as I tackle another bridal shower cake!  I can't wait.  My stickers have arrived and the first time I use them, I'll be taking photos of them, too.  Also, I apologize for the background of my photos.  Mr. Photographer (aka Brian) was not home when I was ready to have the pictures taken and well, you can see that my pictures just don't compare. :)

Until next time....happy anniversary to Brian and I (our 1 year) and we'll continue making memories....one cake at a time!  :)
