Happy 40th Birthday Mieng!

Happy 40th Birthday Mieng! I made a concrete textured chocolate cake with fresh strawberry filling frosted with Swiss Meringue frosting. I accented it with some edible gold leaf for some touch of elegance! I then make some chocolate mini poop cupcakes with chocolate whipped cream frosting and candy eyes. The roll of toilet paper is also chocolate cake with chocolate whipped cream cheese frosting wrapped in fondant! The design of those cupcakes aren't my original idea (hooray for pinterest) but I'm glad I stumbled upon them because they are really cute and fun (not to mention simple) to make!! I hope you had a wonderful milestone birthday celebration Mieng and that the next 40+ years will continue to be better and better!! You deserve all the happiness love and wonderful things in life, you bless us all with your funny personality and sweet heart! I hope all your birthday wishes come true!! Happy 40th birthday Mieng!!

Happy Bridal Shower Sonia!

 Happy Bridal Shower to our beautiful Bride to Be Sonia!  I get the honor and privilege of being one of Sonia's bridesmaid for her upcoming big special day next month!  I also got to baked some yummy goods for her bridal shower this past weekend!  I baked chocolate cake with american buttercream filled with strawberries and gum paste flowers, and chocolate macarons in the shape of cute little pineapples!  Can you tell what her favorite flavor sweets are?  Haha!  We had a Hawaiian theme shower since the wedding will be in Hawaii and she is from Hawaii!  She definitely embodies the aloha spirit and she literally lights up any room she walks into with her warm smile and happy heart!  Sonia is seriously one of the sweetest and happy loving people you'll ever meet!  I'm so happy and excited for this next chapter in her life, and she truly deserves all the love and happiness life can offer.  Congratulations again Sonia, can't wait for you and Eric to get hitched!!

Happy Baby Shower to Phong and Chi!!

Congratulations to Phong and Cristie for their baby shower for their soon to be son Austin!!  I had the privilege and honor of making their desserts for their celebration!  I decorated a mixed berry cake with fondant white clouds, and used some light blue Swiss Meringue and scraped the outside here and there add a light blue sky to the sides of the cake.  I then made a fondant cute little cloud for the cake topper!  I made French Vanilla cupcakes with Swiss Meringue frosting and Cristie made the cute little cloud toppers!  I also made some vanilla French Macarons as well to complete the dessert table!  I can't wait to meet precious baby Austin, he is already so loved by his parents and sweet big sister Kaylie!!  Congratulations again Phong and Chi!  I'm so excited for your guys' newest addition to your beautiful family!

Happy 2nd Birthday Henry!

Happy 2nd Birthday to the cute and adorable Henry!!  I had the honor and pleasure of making Henry's birthday cake again this year!  He loves Thomas the Train right now so he got a special Thomas the Train theme cake.  The bottom tier is vanilla cake with fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries for the filling and the top tier is vanilla cake with fresh pineapples in the filling!  All the decorations are made of fondant and the Thomas the Train and birthday cart of the train is a toy that Kim (Henry's lovely mom) provided for me!  I wish you many many many more amazing birthdays Henry!  You are growing up so fast, I can't wait to see what wonderful things you'll do in the future!  Until then, happy 2nd birthday Henry, you are so loved and you are so cherished by everyone around you!
