sweet things: Cakery projects!

Since I've been so behind in blogging, I thought I'd dedicate one post to catching up on cakery projects I've been busy with in the past months. I haven't felt too much like baking/creating in the first half of my pregnancy, but still managed to make a few fun things!

Since our birthdays are only a week apart, my younger sis and I usually make cupcakes together for a joint family celebration. It was the perfect chance to try these cute sunflower cupcakes!

Oreos for the center, icing for petals, and Fruit Roll-Ups for leaves!

I am a HUGE Reese's Pieces fan...peanut butter and chocolate gets me every time. So when my birthday came around, I finally had a reason to make Reese's cupcakes...rich chocolate cupcakes with a peanut butter buttercream and topped with chopped Reese's. The perfect end to a great dinner out with friends!

Umm...yum! :)

Cute baby girl cupcakes for a baby shower for my sister-in-law's 5th kiddo!

Cake balls for the baby shower...I love how just putting them in a mini cupcake liner makes them look so fancy!

My latest cake...my sweet 3-year-old nephew is 100% boy and totally obsessed with motorcycles...so what better than to make a dirt bike track topped with Playmobil dirt bikes from his parents? This cake is super easy, but so fun!
