Superbowl Football Cookies

 

I had seen several versions of these cookies before and decided to give them my twist for Superbowl this year....and I think they turned out really cute.  I added some extra blue to one side and green to the other so there would be distinct "fan" areas in the crowd of sprinkle people.  I know nothing about football formations, so the players are random.  I was afraid the die hard football fans at the party would have something to say about that, but nope, they ate them up anyway!

These would be great for a birthday party too!

Pastel Polka Dot Cake

This is a cake that I did for a birthday party with polka dots baked into the cake!  It was really cool to slice it and have the polka dots showing :)

Cute and Delicious!  How can you go wrong with that combo!

Elmo Cake Pops for a Sesame Street Birthday Party!

Blue and Brown Sripes for a Dessert Table

Cake pops, three kinds of cupcakes, chocolate covered pretzels and candies made for a delicious dessert table for this birthday party!  The background is hand painted acrylic on canvas so that I could match the color theme perfectly :)

 

These mini cupcakes are cherry vanilla flavored with vanilla frosting and a cherry on top.  Chocolate covered pretzels are yummy with the balance of salt and chocolate and are a great way to add to the color scheme of a dessert buffet.

 Chocolate Saxophones and Clarinets to represent the Musical Talents of the Birthday Girl!

 

Fondant Wedding Dresses

I made these white fondant wedding dresses as cupcake toppers for a bridal shower.  They were pretty time consuming, but they turned out so beautiful!

Sweet Little Girl's Birthday .... Fancy Nancy Style!

These cookies were challenging because I didn't have actual cookies cutters for several of the shapes.  They were done for a friend's niece and turned out really cute.  I had no idea what Fancy Nancy was when she asked me to do them and had to do a little research.  It is hard to see the lipstick and purse in this shot, but I think the purses were the best ones !

Mermaid Pool Party!

These yummy treats were actually for my own daughter's 6th birthday.  I had planned on making the cupcakes look like the beach with little umbrellas (you can sort of see the chocolate shells I made in the cake pop stands)....however, the morning of the party, she asks if she can have mermaids on the cupcakes.  *sigh* 

Oh well, I am used to improvising by now!

I didn't have enough time to sculpt entire mermaids (and not enough fondant made either).  So, I made these mermaid tails and dusted them with edible glitter, they turned out cute.  I couldn't resist putting one shark in there though.  She loved them, so that is all that really matters!

John Deere Cake Pops

These cake pops were for a John Deere themed birthday party.

 

I came up with this simple custom stand to go with what my clients were decorating with already.  When you are ordering cake pops for an event, it is really important to think about how you will display them as well.  The display is half of the initial WOW factor with cake pops!  Then they taste them and it is a TRIPLE WOW!

6th Birthday Pink Ombre Cake

I'm just getting around to posting this cake that I made for my daughter's 6th birthday.  It is the first time I have tried to do anything in the very popular ombre technique.  I made the shabby chic garland in the background too!  The decorations came together with the cake really well!  I always worry that they won't, because I am usually gathering things months in advance, but somehow it always works out fine!

St. Louis Cardinals Cupcakes and Cake Pops

 

These were for a wedding shower for some enthusiastic St. Louis Cardinals fans, a co-ed shower, so the whole theme worked out great for all!

Aqua and Green Apple Cupcakes

I did these cupcakes recently for a baby shower that was aqua and green apple colors to match the new baby's nursery.  They wanted something simple and they turned out really cute!

One note though, they weren't completely thrilled about the idea of fondant.  They said, "Fondant always tastes bad."  Well, I am here to tell you it doesn't always have to!!  Some store-bought fondant does have a bitter taste.  Bakeries use the pre-made kind to save time, it is VERY time consuming to make it from scratch.  BUT, it tastes wonderful when you do!  I always try to use my own fondant when I need to use it for decorations and accents.  (They loved the fondant after they tried it by the way!)

Tiramisu Cupcakes

I have added a jumbo Tiramisu cupcake to the Cakery menu....

They are so very delicious!!

It is my moist vanilla cake,

brushed with Kaluah coffee syrup with rum flavoring,

filled and frosted with mascarpone whipped cream,

dusted with cocoa powder,

and THEN another layer of cake, syrup and cream! 

 

Birthday Cake Pops

I am so late getting these posted!  I haven't been very good about keeping up with the blog lately, I have been busy baking, filling orders, and working on a secret project!

This was four dozen cake pops with a customized stand for a very special lady's 40th Birthday!  It was a great party and  a good time was had by all!  Happy Birthday (belated still counts, right??)!

Poker Party Dessert Table

I'm just getting around to posting photos from this amazing dessert table that I did for an amazing person's 90th birthday.  It really turned out great and everyone seemed to enjoy the goodies!

  I had a few major design elements to work on for this one, I redesigned the way I am doing my backgrounds, which should make them a little easier to move around from now on.  They are 8 feet long and can get really heavy!  I also designed the reusable cupcake stand to be adjustable and I able to decorate it with custom colors to match the event.  My husband and I were getting the kinks out of that right up until the last minute!

There are four different flavor combinations of cupcakes...and each flavor is identifiable by the "suit".  I piped the diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs out of royal icing.  I was concerned with the taste of those, because very red and very black frosting usually does not taste the best, but I tweaked my royal icing recipe, and these were actually good.

 

The cake pops were done in matching colors, of course!  Birthday Cake, Red Velvet, Pumpkin, and Snickerdoodle.

 I had lots of matching candy on this table as well.  There was red and black licorice, red and black gum balls, candy coated peanuts (Boston Baked Beans), wrapped cinnamon hard candy, mints, red raspberries and blackberries, and red Peanut M&M's.  I ate a lot of those raspberries while I was working on this table!  There are some great websites out there that list candy by color when you are trying to do a table like this. 

 I also made chocolate dipped pretzel sticks in two different colors.

 These truffles are Oreo Cookie flavored.  Looking so nice in their little rows!
 

Thank you to everyone for all of your compliments at the party!  The party was a big success and hopefully I'll get to do a 100th birthday in ten years!

It's time for Halloween Cake Truffles again!

I am making the same flavor/decorations as last year, because they were a big hit!  I love these boxes!  AND the truffle papers match....how cute is that?  The flavors in the assortment are....Birthday Cake, Mocha, Snickerdoodle, Pumpkin and Chocolate Brownie Mint.

I've got a limited supply of these Halloween boxes for those of you who are interested.  I am taking orders now, so if you are interested in ordering a dozen assorted Cake Truffles for Halloween, email me and get on the list!  They are $28 for a dozen wrapped up like you see above.

Here is another picture of how they are decorated......

If you want to order them in bulk for a party, if you order three dozen or more, they are $24/dozen.   Email me asap to get on my baking list.  I can only bake so many of these!  The official deadline is October 22, 2011 -- but, my schedule may fill up before then if I end up with some big party orders!

Baby Shower Buffet

Here is the dessert buffet that I did recently for a special baby shower.  All kinds of yummy things to choose from!  Cake Pops, Cake Truffles, Sugar Cookies, M&M's, Jelly Beans, Peanut Butter Candy.....delicious!

We had Cake Truffles: Birthday Cake, Very Berry, Peanut Butter Banana, and Chocolate Chocolate.  Peanut Butter Banana is one of my newest flavors, and is becoming a favorite!

 

 Here are some Flat Top Cake Pops with Diamond Tags that say "It's a Girl!".  They really dress up a tray of Cake Pops and are totally customizable.

 

Below are Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream frosting.  The little medallions that are on top are made of gum paste with a little glitter on them and are completely edible.  I have special boxes that I made for a tiered effect when I display my cupcakes.  They can be wrapped with a matching fabric or paper and ribbon.

 

The next photo is of the party favors that I made.  They turned out so adorable!  They can be done in any flavor, of course.  The flower on top is fondant with a pink candy pearl in the center, again, totally edible.  They look great on a tray or cake stand and the guests are so excited to be able to take one of these home with them!

Sports Cake Pops

 

These awesome cake pops are a little time consuming to make, but they are so cute!

The footballs are Chocolate Chocolate flavor, the baseballs are Birthday Cake, and the basketballs are Peanut Butter Banana.  You can order them any flavor* that you like, but the Peanut Butter flavored chocolate is the perfect color for the basketballs!!

Prices for 2012 are $30 a dozen. 

*(We have a few flavors that are only available as Cake Truffles and NOT Cake Pops...Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Oreo Cookie, and Chocolate Brownie Mint).

Graduation Party Dessert Table

This is a dessert table that I did for my daughter's Jr. High graduation party.  There are Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream frosting, a Cake Pop Tower with Chocolate Chocolate, Very Berry, Mocha, and Birthday Cake flavors, Orange Dream Cake Pops with Diamond Tags and individual bows, and a variety of jelly beans and candy to match!  Congratulations Jessica, to one of the best daughters ever!!

Tower of Cake Pops

A tower of Jean Marie's Cake Pops is a really unique and fun way to display the goodies for your party, wedding, or event!  These were done for a retro birthday party, so the pink and green colors are a little wild....but they looked so amazing on their tower!

 

A Cake Pop Tower can be customized with a ribbon color that matches your event.  The tower holds three dozen cake pops.  We have a package that includes the four different flavors/designs of cake pops, tower, delivery, and set up.

Our website is STILL under construction, but it is coming soon.  

When it is done, you'll be able to find these on the Events page.

For now, you can email me at caketruffles@live.com

Elegant Flat Top Cake Pops are great for Weddings!

 I did these wedding cake favors a while back, but haven't gotten around to getting them on the blog until now.  Flat Top Cake Pops look great on platters on the cake table at a wedding or can be used as part of the center pieces on individual tables for your guests to enjoy.  We fully custom design the diamond tags and can use ribbon and drizzle colors to match your decor as well.  Delivery charges apply in the Springfield, Missouri area, or they can be picked up in Strafford.  Check the Events page of our website or Contact Us for more information.
