Tree Stump Cake, Leaf Cake & Leaf Cupcakes

This is a tree stump cake that I made for an 80th birthday celebration for a man who had a career in forestry. The cake was a simple yellow cake with chocolate and vanilla buttercream. The acorns were edible.

I also made cupcakes that I decorated with edible leaves. The cupcakes were white cake with vanilla buttercream.

I also made a small celebration cake for the husband and wife to take home and enjoy later. It was a white cake with vanilla buttercream and edible leaves.

sugar by Mary Ann is up and running!
I am so excited to finally be starting sugar.

Making people feel special by preparing something delicious for them is so much fun for me. I have been busy cooking and taking care of my three kids for the past eight years but with the two oldest in school now, I feel ready to take on a bigger commitment- So here comes sugar!

I can't wait to start baking delicious treats for ya'll. First up is a big 90th birthday party for my husband's grandmother this weekend. I am making an assortment of mini cupcakes- lots of flavors, so stayed tuned to see how they turn out!
