Donna Hits First Base, well at least her first year

When my niece was a year old, she loved sitting with her daddy and cheering on the Colorado Rockies...

We had an ice cream cake for the adults, with HOMEMADE strawberry ice cream (when we go pink, we go all out). It's iced with pink whipped cream and the stitches are red piping gel.

Donna had her very own smash cake, sans ice cream, but still with the whipped cream icing and gel stitches.  Cute birthday bear candle on top.

We had left over batter and made some cupcakes to go with, here is big brother RJ enjoying one... Best big brother ever!

Groom's Cake

Originally, this was supposed to have been the groom's cake to accompany the Dalsing-Cieslak wedding cake. However, since the couple was leaving the next day, we decided it would be better for them to come home to, so they could enjoy it.

An "Ice Cream" cake, the cake itself was chocolate fudge. Inside was creamy strawberry ice cream. Iced in whipped chocolate ganache, with a chocolate buttercream border, the most dazzling feature are the decked out strawberries.

Strawberries are dipped in white and brown chocolate to resemble little tuxedos. Their adorable buttons and bow ties are hand painted. They are ready for any formal affair.

This cake would provide 8-12 servings depending on portion size. Strawberries can be served with cake or eaten alone...
