Double-Whammy

This was an exciting week for Heavenly Bites Cakes with orders for a christening and a 1st birthday for twins! It was a lot of work, but totally worth it...and good prep for next week, when I have THREE cakes due in one weekend!

The christening was for a sweet little angel named Andrew John - hence the fondant angels on the cake!  His mom is a three-peat customer! I had the honor of doing her wedding cake/cupcakes as well as her baby shower cupcakes, so to be doing the christening cake for her as well was awesome!

The bottom tier was devils food cake with white chocolate mousse filling and vanilla buttercream.  The top tier was yellow cake with chocolate ganache filling and chocolate buttercream. YUM.



 

Additionally, I made vanilla sugar cookies in the shape of an "A", for Andrew, for party favors - they were covered in blue royal icing and decorated with white sprinkles around the edges...


All wrapped up with a party to go to! :)

The second order for the weekend was for brother & sister fraternal twins, Laia & Max who turned 1 this weekend!  For their party, their mom ordered a smash cake for each child to enjoy and a larger cake for the guests!  I somehow neglected to take a picture of the larger cake :( but it was very similar to the smash cakes, but incorporated both the boy and girl color schemes with the Happy Birthday Banner, a fondant "1" and the ribbon around the base of the cake made in a light purple color as the in-between neutral color! :)

Here are pictures of the two smash cakes!





The smash cakes were vanilla cake & buttercream frosting, while the larger cake for the guests was vanilla cake, with chocolate buttercream filling and white chocolate mousse frosting.

Looking forward to next weekend where I'll be making a casino themed 95th birthday cake, an Elmo themed cake for a set of twins 1st birthday and baby shower baby in blanky cupcakes and yellow duck sugar cookie favors!
