Monkey Themed Baby Shower!

A few weeks back, Captivating Creations announced that we now take Special Orders. What type of special orders, you ask?

That is where you come in! We will take into consideration any and all suggestions of special orders, some of which include: cookies, cake bites, and unique cake flavors that we don't have listed on the website.

Here are some pictures of the most recent special order: Monkey Themed Sugar Cookies for a Baby Shower! *collective awwwww*



The cookies were modeled after this picture and theme. The mom-to-be is decorating the baby's room in these accents! :)

And here is how the cookies turned out:



Yum!

Birthday's for two different Samanthas! Girlie flowers and a tree themed cake!

Happy Birthday to Samantha #1 (turned 8) and Samantha #2 (turned 6). Although you're both #1 in my heart *tear*

I so enjoyed making BOTH of your birthday cakes last week! Samantha #2 even presented me with a challenge: make a cute, yummy, tree (yes, tree!) themed cake that would be fun and appropriate for a 6 year old girl's birthday!

Do I incorporate camo? twiggs? forrest nymphs? Nope. How about sugar trees and flowers amidst a stream in the woods? Bingo.


Side note: I created a new filling flavor for this cake! Nutella lovers unite! I made a surprisingly delightful Nutella & Chocolate filling that left Samantha very happy!

Now for Samantha #1. She was very specific: bright blue, bright pink, bright yellow, and lots of flowers and butterflies. Oh, and glitter too - yeah, glitter. Maybe bright blue and pink glitter?



Kids + sugar + edible glitter = two awesome birthdays.

Congrats Jake & Erin! Wedding July 10, 2010

I may be biased, but I think Jake & Erin are going to have a bomb wedding with an amazing cake.

But, those are just words coming from a sister-in-law-cake-decorator who is ready to celebrate their wedding and eat some delicious cake (straight from the Captivating Creations kitchen no less).

Chocolate cake + vanilla frosting = wonderful bridal shower cupcakes for Erin!

And what says love like sugar hearts? Yeah. Thats what I thought.

I have to say that the white chocolate butterflies are some of my all time fav decorations. Note to eaters: everything is edible! Except for the butterfly feelers. But I think it's safe to say that we wouldn't want to eat feelers anyway.

Enjoy! For more information, check out my website here!
