Green Tea Cupcakes

Details:
   - Matcha green tea cake
   - Matcha green tea buttercream frosting

Description:
   Wade is not big on sweets unless they involve green tea, so he has been wanting me to make these forever! This was my first try at green tea cupcakes and I used the Matcha green tea powder from whole foods which was already sweetened. The cake was not very flavorful and I had to add so much powder to the frosting, that it turned out a little grainy. They still taste pretty good; you are your own worst critic! Wade is happy and I cant wait to make them again and improve my recipe!

Custom Grooms Cake (Inter Milan Soccer Jersey)

Details:
   - Red velvet cake
   - Buttercream frosting
   - Rolled fondant

Description:
     Wade and I made this cake for Jodi D. as a surprise for her husband on their wedding day. This cake required a ton of fondant for all the details. Being my suborn self and going against all the advice I have received, I made all of the fondant from scratch and created the color using gel food coloring. It took forever and the cost (time and sore forearms) of making it from scratch did not out weigh the benefit. I learned my lesson for sure! Jodi and Josh are such a fun loving pair and I'm so excited for them!

Description:
     Wade and I made this cake for Blake Neubert's He-man themed, 30th birthday. This was created over a three day period and even experienced some transportation issues. We drove it from from Denver to Fort Collins with a dog in the car. This was my first time making fondant that does not use gelatin. It turned out a little greasy and did not roll out well. It ended up having a good stone look for the castle, but I will not be using the recipe again. It was 4 layers tall with many small details (like the pretzel sticks we used for the door). It was a fun project and the first major cake Wade and I took on together.
