What a typical small cake tasting looks like!

Holiday Cookies

These were almond shortbread cookies, topped with icing and fondant. I did the detail work with royal icing 

Snowflakes!

Christmas Trees!

Mittens!

Decorate Your Own Cookies

We are now offering a Decorate Your Own Cookie Box! It comes complete with the baked cookies, different colored icings as well as sprinkles! I did them for Christmas parties to occupy the kids and to take the stress of making cookies for Santa off of the parents, but we could do them for birthday parties and other events as well!

Orchid Writers Cake

This was a cool cake to do! It was based off the business card for the local OC Writers! The orchids were made out of fondant. 

Pile of Fries Cake

This was such a fun birthday cake to make!!!! It was based on a local restaurants "pub fries", a pile of french fries topped with melted cheese and bacon. 

The 'fries' were made out of sugar cookies, the 'cheese' was made out of icing and the 'bacon' was made out of fondant bits. It was all on top of a carrot cake covered in cream cheese icing. It was almost as fun to snack on as a real pile of cheesy french fries!

Cup-Cakes!

This is one of the newest things added to the Little Something Sweet line up! I did a ton of these over the holidays, and these are a few of them!

These were vanilla and chocolate peppermint, topped with fondant holly leaves and edible beads

This was a sampler box with vanilla and chocolate peppermint, vanilla and chocolate salted caramel, and a brown butter pumpkin pecan

These were for a black and white birthday party. They were vanilla cake with black chocolate icing, and chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. Some were topped with fondant stars. 

Holiday Boutique

I got the opportunity to do a holiday boutique at one of the active seniors apartment complex's in the area and it was so much fun! 

This was how the whole table was set up. 

We had sugar free brownies and vanilla mini bunt cakes! We also had lemon pound cake loaves, brown butter pumpkin bread loaves, and a cinnamon swirl coffee cake loaf. 

There were many cookie options including: Chocolate chip, Malted double chocolate chip, Snickerdoodle, Oatmeal raisin, Cherry almond chocolate chip, Blueberry lemon white chocolate chip, and Sampler packs (a mini of each cookie so that you can taste test each type). 

I also offered Caramel pecan brownies and traditional brownies as well as a raspberry crumb bar. 

I also had Cup-Cakes! We did red velvet, Chocolate salted caramel, Vanilla salted caramel, Double chocolate, Vanilla with chocolate and Brown butter pumpkin pecan.

Holiday Party!

Cake Towers

I love these! I used to make these and sell them in my pastry shop in Asheville, NC! They are layers of cake and icing stacked inside a plastic ring! They are a little larger than a cupcake but are so much more fun!!

These were the chocolate salted caramel cakes.

And these were holiday inspired red velvet and chocolate towers!

Holiday Treats

These are a few of the items I did for people for the Christmas holidays!

Snowflake brownies: rich chocolate brownies cut into a snowflake shape and decorated with a vanilla buttercream. 

Caramel apple pie and a french crumble top apple pie

Peppermint brownies, topped with a peppermint buttercream and crushed candy cane!

Thanksgiving Jars

I know it has been a while since I have been able to update this blog, but here is the first one in a long string of updates since Thanksgiving 2012!

One of the special orders I had for Thanksgiving were these jars. I made three different types for variety and one was placed at each place setting on their thanksgiving table. They were the party favors for the guests to take home with them after they had dinner. Each one was tied with a bow, had a thank you card tied to it, and a fork so that it made eating it later easier! 

This is what the finished product looked like. 

These were Brown Butter Pumpkin Cakes. They had the brown butter pumpkin cake, spiced buttercream icing, white chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. 

This was the Chocolate Salted Caramel Cake. It had layers of rich chocolate cake, caramel buttercream, mini chocolate chips, caramel chewy bits, caramel drizzle and sea salt. 

These were Cranberry Apple Pies. They had a apple filling, sweetened cranberries, pie dough bits, and crumble topping layered in as well. 

Owl Babyshower!!!

I was never really into owls, but now after the few cakes I have made, I am obsessed! I love the way they make things so stinking cute!

This was the invite they gave me to create the cake based off of

This is what I came up with!

It was a chocolate cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream icing. I made all the decorations out of fondant so the whole cake was edible! 

I think this was one of my favorite cakes to make to date!!!

Caramel Apple & Pumpkin Cupcakes!

These were for a fall party!

 Delightful pumpkin cupcakes with a spiced cream cheese icing. 

Caramel apple cupcakes, filled with caramel and topped with a caramel buttercream and drizzled with caramel. 

Artist Birthday Cake

My sister was so jealous of this cake! She too is an artist and has yet to get a cool art themed birthday cake.... maybe someday! 

This was a chocolate cake, chocolate filling with chocolate chips and chocolate buttercream icing! So much fantastic chocolate!!

I used fondant to create the artist pallat on top and make the paint brush so the whole thing would be edible!

Halloween Cupcakes!

I love halloween because I get to make such fun desserts!!!! I have now gotten to do a wedding cake, and cupcakes! So much fun!!!

For this order I did 80 mini cupcakes and 24 regular sized cupcakes. Some were chocolate, some were vanilla and they all had vanilla buttercream. 

Some of the mini cupcakes

Some of the regular sized cupcakes

The cupcakes had ghosts, pumpkins, black cats, bats, witch hats, spiders, 'Boo', Tombstones that said 'Noah' & 'Happy 1st Birthday', and mummies! They were so much fun!

Edible Glitter!

I got a request for a super girly, happy, birthday cake using edible glitter if possible. Needless to say, I used quite a bit of edible glitter!!! It was a funfetti cake with chocolate filling and hot pink vanilla buttercream. I did a black fondant bow on top and a fondant ribbon and polka-dots on the side.  I don't know that the picture does it justice of how fun it really was!

Mini Fall Cake

This was a small 6" cake ment to serve 4-6 people. It was a brown butter pumpkin cake with a spiced buttercream icing, and fondant pumpkins. It is also pretty fantastic with a spiced cream cheese icing! Happy Fall!!!

Tiffany Engagement Party Cupcakes

These were fun! Tiffany blue and white cream cheese icing on top of a red velvet cake. There were a few different designs I did on top.

I did some with sugar pearls, some to look like tiffany boxes, blue and white fondant flowers, fondant rings, hearts that said 'love' and 'i do' and some with the couple's initials 'JEM'. I think they are so fun!
