Cole Cirthday Cake

For a lady turning 25 I think. They wanted something fun & girlie. Fondant decoration on a 9" round (3 layers of cake). This was really fun to make but I wasn't sure it was gonna look right 'til it was all finished.

Hello kitty cut from 1/2 sheet cake. Used corners of cake to make ears, just put a skewer through them and glued them on with buttercream. Fondant decorations, even got wild and used some lust dust!

Hutchison Graduation Cake

For a beauty school graduate! French vanilla cake with buttercream & fondant. Cut out of 18" square pan. Tried to get as many servings as I could so I traced it onto parchment first, then cut it out. Wish I could go back and do the fan differently.

Stansbury Wedding Cake (My First!)

Ok, everyone! Critique away! My first wedding cake! 8", 10", 14" round french vanilla cake. Buttercream base with chocolate cornelli lace. Real gerbera daisies in water picks. While it was really painful on my hand with all that piping, I LOVE this cake. I can see a few places I wasn't even with my lace, but since it was only my second cornelli lace cake, I'm pretty happy with it. Bride loved it! I'd really appreciate your input though as to how to get better!

Teapot For Lauryn

Baby Shower cake for the first girl born into our group of friends. Lemon cake with lemon chiffon icing and marzipan accents. Tasted great! Made it with a Pampered Chef classic batter bowl which is oven safe. Baked 2 halves and made the body. Had to harden marzipan overnight to get the handle to stay in place.

Cardinals Jersey Birthday Cake

Made for a 5 year old little boy. modeled after a cake by Helipops (thanks for the help!) He loves Pujoles and he was turning 5 so that made the number extra special. French Vanilla cake with buttercram and MMF accents. If I was to do it again, I would outline in royal icing instead of piping gel. Not crazy about the shiny effect and it was very difficult to control.

Hula Girl 2Nd Birthday

Birthday cake for a little girl with peanut & dairy allergies and a tree nut avoidance. Frosting was a new recipe and it came out very dry. Yellow cake mix, allergy-wise crusting BC & MMF decorations. The flower on top is off center because she had 2 large flip flop candles to use. Was just happy to be able to give this little girl a "normal" birthday cake. Mom sure couldn't go order this at any bakery in town! Alot of work but worth it!

First Paid Cake/disaster!

MMF with ribbon and MMF flowers. My first BIG staked cake. First time working with seperator plates. Didn't get the supports cut short enough so the cake slowly fell off the sides of the plates. By the next morning, it looked like this. Luckily, it was for my best friend's parents and I was basically doing it for the supplies since I got to keep all the pans and stuff. I felt aweful that it fell like that. But, I learned A LOT from this cake.

Paige

Baby shower cake based off the bedding behind the cake. Didn't get to see the bedding until the shower, was just given a picture. French vanilla cake with Wilton RMF and fondant circles. I made sure I used a straw to insert the wire in to since it wasn't food grade, per many discussions on this site!

Baby Shower Cupcakes

Copied from a picture off CC, but was told it was from the 1995 Wilton idea book. Much easier than I thought they would be. French vanilla cupcakes with whipped vanilla frosting and MMF decorations. Just used blue and green because we knew she was having a boy. Additional picture is close up of faces.
