Samantha's Sweets meet Buddy Valastro ~ The Cake Boss...
  I was so honored to receive an email asking me, Samantha's Sweets, to promote Buddy's Family Celebrations Tour 2013.  The Cake Boss came to Greensburg and put on an amazing show!  I was also asked to make cakes for the show as back up.  I received a phone call from the tour manager telling me my cakes were GREAT!  I was so excited!  Buddy gave me a "shout out" from the stage that night with thanks; my two seconds of fame!  Here are our photos meeting Buddy, a great guy.

My sweet babies and Buddy!

I created the two tier cake with ruffled white frosting on the top tier, and a fondant covering with gray horizontal stripes on the bottom tier.  Maria from Love & Sugar Kisses 
 created the adorable 2013 topper.
I created the yellow ruffle frosted cupcakes with Maria's amazing fondant toppers.
I also created some sparkly white cake pops, accented with striped straws and ribbon.
More pictures to come.

as these ladies!

I made the inside of the cake to match the party theme colors!

The flavors are red velvet, strawberry and well... blue vanilla---blueberry just wouldn't have worked.

When I make a cake for a party like this, I LOVE matching the colors to the theme! It is a great little touch to add to the fun elements of any themed party!

It was Jenny's idea to put the cake pop in the cupcake---genius!!!
