A Little Baby Talk

Seems like I have been doing cakes by theme. Strange, but just the way the orders have come in. Last month was a string of baby shower cakes..

The fist was a pastel cake with a teddy bear sitting on the top. The cakes were "I Remember Vanilla" with fresh strawberries and vanilla buttercream and "I Remember Vanilla" with chocolate ganache

Next up was a re-appearance of our "Sporty Baby Lamb." This time he was wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap and was sitting atop a "Best Ever Vanilla" filled with chocolate ganache

 For this party we also provided Cupcake Lollis done as bottles and baby heads for the centerpieces of all the tables... The lollis were displayed in fun sports themed containers...

Cuptail Lollis Bouquet

This bouquet was made to celebrate a Sweet Stuff 21st Birthday...

The Melissa Bouquet:

Cuptail Lollis

What?! Cuptail Lollis? I thought they were called cupcake lollis!

Well... meet the newest additions to our Cupcake Lolli family - CUPTAIL LOLLIS - because it is 5 o'clock somewhere!

We have had a couple requests in the past couple months... "It would be great if you could do some sort of adult lolli... you know something that incorporates alcohol into the cake..." Hmm. Interesting. Maybe rum cake. No. Not to start anyway...

We were busy in the Sweet Stuff kitchens last week!

Our new CUPTAIL LOLLIS:

Margarita: Best Ever Vanilla Cake mixed with lime syrup and tequilla - coated in white chocolate with an ever so slight sprinkle of sea salt.



Toasted Hazelnut: Best Ever Vanilla Cake mixed with buttercream icing, Frangelico and Creme de Cacao - dipped in dark chocolate and topped with toasted hazelnuts.



Irish Kiss: Best Ever Vanilla Cake mixed while warm with semi-sweet chocolate chips and Bailey's Irish Cream - topped with white chocolate and a sprinkle of espresso powder

Lollipop, Lollipop Oh Lolli Lollipop

I was recently told by a friend that Cupcake Lollis are her "go to gift" (YEAH!) These are 2 of the bouquets she ordered to send as 40th Birthday surprises!

This first bouquet was sent a guy who worked at the Dairy Barn on Long Island in his youth....





And the next one was just a fun bouquet sent to the mother of twins - a boy and a girl....



And finally - a patriotic logo bouquet sent to POLO Ralph Lauren's offices in NYC....

Through the Looking Glass

These lollis were created as the centerpieces for an "Alice in Wonderland" tea party for a 10 year old girl's birthday party. As you can see - I used Disney, not Tim Burton as my inspiration.... (a lolli is a perfect candidate for animation!)

There were many possibilities - but I narrowed it down to the White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat and some teacups all made out of "Best Ever Vanilla" lollis


The White Rabbit wasn't looking quite like himself until I added the collar and bow tie. All decorations were made out of fondant or colored white chocolate.



The Cheshire Cat's evil grin and other decorations were also made out of fondant...

“It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

Oh Baby, Baby

These "Best Ever Vanilla", "I Remember Chocolate" and "Signature Carrot Cake" lollis were made as the favors for a baby shower.... CUTE AS A BUTTON!



Baby heads had fondant bows and "pluggies" in their mouths



Baby bottles were topped with fondant...

Oh Baby Baby

Seems that I have been very busy lately doing baby related cakes! This first cake was for a baby shower for twins! The cake was I Remember Chocolate with raspberry filling and Best Ever Vanilla with chocolate filling. The decor matched the invitations and featured some "scrapbooking" decorative items



This cake was for a Baby Naming celebration. The cake featured sugar pearls, a large gumpaste bow and gumpaste butterflies hand painted with luster dust. The cakes were I Remember Chocolate and Best Ever Vanilla.



This extra large lollipop bouquet was sent to celebrate the arrival of a baby girl. All the lollis were vanilla, decorated in pink and white.



This diaper bag cake was created for another Baby Shower of a mom expecting her first girl. The cake was Carrot with cream cheese frosting. All the decorations on the top were made from fondant.

Lillypalooza

These Lolli Bouquets were created for a party celebrating all things LILLY. All the guests were clad in Lilly Pulitzer and the lollipops were up to the task! The assortment included Vanilla, Chocolate, Lemon, Mocha and Coconut Lollipops...

Special Delivery

"Showers of Happiness" and "Cups of Tea" sent to recipients that turned out to be on vacation... so very sad! I fear that they will be but a puddle of melted chocolate and soggy cake when they are finally delivered. Bummer!
