Sheriff's Car Before Touchups (Done Onsite)

first car cake i've done, so i've now learned i need to charge far more, or work much faster!! i always take a pic with the flash, at home, which always makes the blemishes really show, and i know where to touch up...on this pic, it was the white cake board showing through in places. touch ups done, and client was ecstatic...i'm just excited to be rid of the darn thing!!!!

Request For A Girly Duck

had alot of trouble with small smash cake, so had to alter the design for the puddle to be cupcakes instead...not my favorite, but design was what client picked out, and she was very happy with it, so all is well!

Mule Recreation

client wanted cake to look exactly like one of their pet mules...charged her alot per slice, thinking it would be quite difficult, but thank goodness for projectors!! after i made the template, it actually was quite easy!! i'm really happy with the way it turned out, and the birthday boy wouldn't allow anyone to cut the cake!

Laura's 40Th!

surprised my friend last night with this cake...wanted to do something grand for her, since it was her 40th bd and her husband is away in iraq. she's very girly so i tried to come up with a design that was exactly her, incorporating all the things she loves!! all dummies except for the top quilted tier. gumpaste hanky, pearls, roses, gardenia, picture frame.

Star Wars Dagobah Swamp Scene

elaborate cake originally planned for our friends grooms cake, but that design fell through only hours before we had to leave for the delivery in another state. i had about 6 hours to take the existing cake and turn it into another design...this is what we ended up with. handpainted vegetation, fondant stump, and yucky looking green piping gel for the swamp!

Rat Trap For Fall Festival

our neighborhood had a chili cookoff, and i wanted to bring something that could feed alot of people, advertise a wee bit (we're new to this neighborhood!), and also be pretty simple. this is what i came up with. meant to have a big fat rat on it too, but ran out of energy.

Cake Dummy For P.t.o Auction And Carnival

donated a gift certificate to my daughters school for their annual fundraiser. made up this dummy to show my work. despite having "DO NOT TOUCH" written in several places (including one actually sitting on the cake!), people did touch, mostly adults, and it ended up destroyed.! some even picked up the don't touch sign, laid it back down,and then touch! total waste of my time and money! ALWAYS HAVE DUMMIES PROTECTED UNDER GLASS!!

2 9x13's, each cut in half and then stacked. bottom cake was southern butter with sugar cookie filling. top tier was kahlua and fudge with oreo and caramel filling. entire cake was iced in whipped vanilla bean cream cheese icing. gumpaste accessories. my first diaper cake and i ran out of time to add the strap and the baby bottle, but overall, i really like this one. thanks for looking.

Pumpkin House!

my daughters speech teacher requested this cake for another teacher who is pregnant. they call themselves the "walk in closets", since their offices are so small, so i incorporated that into the design. pregnant teacher thinks they're getting together tonight just to cut pumpkins, but they plan on surprising her with a baby shower. spice cake with spiced cream cheese icing, formed gumpaste pumpkin, table, chairs, presents, and rug. chocolate rocks.

My First Celebrity Cake!!

i was asked to do a cake for a toy convention in knoxville tn this past weekend, which was also friday the 13th. they were hosting a special v.i.p. birthday party for "Jason Voorhees", the character from Friday the 13th movies, and the actor who portrayed him in 4 of the movies, mr kane hodder...i had alot of fun doing this, and it was cool getting to step out of the box for a bit!!

Nautical Themed Cake

client requested nautical themed cake, this is what i came up with. original design featured teh black and white striped lighthouse in st augustines florida, but two days before the wedding, i found out the historic b & b would not allow a cake with those colors to be displayed indoors, so i had to do some quick scrambling to come up with something else. after a 22 hour marathon of decorating, i was exhausted but i think i finally made the bride and the owner both happy. sorry pic is so dark!
