If You Like Piña Coladas...

If I must say, these cupcakes were delicious! They were a light vanilla cake with Piña Colada icing, made with fresh pineapple! I am definitely making these again as a great summer treat. Maybe I should try strawberry daquari next... And yes it was alcohol free.

Roses are Red... and Yellow, Pink, and Purple

I have now mastered the buttercream rose! You may be able to see tell which color I began with and which I did last, as I made a lot of progression as I continued to practice. This cake was coconut, strawberry-lemon, ans white, with some "topsoil" to help the roses stay lush and lively. I had a lot of fun trying new things that broadened my decorating skills, and I can't wait to try more!

You name it, I make it!

Here is a list of all of the delicious cake flavors that I make:

• chocolate
• strawberry
• yellow
• white
• lemon
• red velvet
• black velvet
• pink lemonade
• lemon-strawberry
• chocolate-raspberry
• chocolate chip
• spice
• coconut
• carrot
• pineapple
• banana
• mocha
• cherry-vanilla
• almond
• pumpkin
• maple
• caramel

I don't have any specific list of icing because I leave it up to the person who wants the cake. It is your cake and you can use your imagination to create it however you want. If you want chocolate and maple, then you can have chocolate and maple!

Yes, my cakes are for sale!

In case you were wondering, I do sell cakes, cupcakes and cake pops, and at a reasonable price! All of my cake, icing, and fondant are made from scratch and are all delicious. I make a variety of cake flavors, both traditional and unique. You won't be disappointed.

"I loved the cake Mollie made for me because all of the flavors were distinct and recognizable. The strawberry was my favorite because it was moist and contained fresh strawberries. The fondant had a great texture and color and the icing was used in perfect amounts. The decoration was super cute and professional. There was plenty of cake to go around and is easy to keep through refrigiration if it is not finished on the date of delivery!" -Olivia Kirsch, recent and happy customer

So if you want a cake, cupcakes, or cake pops, let me know! You can message me on facebook or email me at mllkrader@gmail.com as long as you live in Indianapolis (only local, sorry!).

more cupcakes!?

I made these cupcakes tonight on a whim, but they were so fun! The cupcakes are strawberry-raspberry with a lemon filling. I had left-over icing, so I swriled them together to give the cupcaks even more pizzaz.

Sweet 16

Top-front; bottom-back

This cake was made for my friend, Olivia's Sweet 16. It was so much fun to make, but I felt some pressure this time, which was good, because I learned so much! My cake definitely looked a lot better because of it. Baking is truly  a guess and check kind of task, and it's so much more fun that way! Looking things up without trying for yourself takes away from the fun of it, I think, though it can be helpful. I did look things up, however, but more for brainstorming and weighing my options. And there wasn't much room for error, but I think I passed. Now that I have learned new things and can successfully lay fondant on without it ripping, I am ready to take the cakes to a new level! Oh and the three flavors were red velvet, strawberry (with fresh strawberries, of course) and coconut. :)

Cupcakes!?

These cupcakes are chocolate-raspberry, with chocolate icing and a raspberry on top. You're probably wondering why they look kind of funky, and it is because I made them in an IKEA cupcake pan, which is taller and skinnier than a standard cupcake pan. I think the pan makes really cute cupcakes, but theyre not ideal if you like a high icing to cupcake ratio. But yes, the cupcakes were tasty.
