Mardi Gras Birthday Cake

9x13 yellow butter cake with buttercream frosting. Mask is gumpaste, hand painted with Americolor food color mixed with vodka and gold pearl dust. Edible green and purple cake sparkles on mask also. Plastic beads.

White On White Wedding

Simple 6, 10 inch wedding cake, top tier white, bottom chocolate. White buttercream with fondant flowers. I wish I had taken a picture before I got to the reception site and put the topper on. Yes, that IS Superman up there, LOL. The topper was nearly as big as the cake.

Western Wedding

6, 10,12, 16 inch rounds, white with raspberry filling and buttercream icing. Ribbon around bottom of each tier is satin. The bride provided the strand of faux barbed wire to drape around the cake. The look we were going for was western, but not cheesy western. I think it turned out nicely.

Darth Vader

All buttercream; "cake" is actually a giant Rice Krispy Treat

Super Mario Brothers

All buttercream

First Bow!

All buttercream except gumpaste/fondant bow

Autumn Leaves

A cake made for the parish mission at my church. Large leaves are all gumpaste; smaller ones and acorns are 50/50. I was amazed at how much more realistic the leaves were after dusting and steaming them!

Marshmallow Booties

Baby shower cake for my younger sister. Buttercream icing with marshmallows put together for the booties and another for the top of the rattle.

Maria's Cake

My very first wedding cake ever!!! Made for my little sister to match the one in the Wilton Wedding Cakes book from a few years ago. Buttercream with nearly 500 lily-like flowers in royal icing. I had some problems with bulging between the layers, but overall I was happy with the end result. It looks like it's leaning a bit in the picture, but I think maybe the photographer just had one too many! It actually stood straight and tall to my great relief!!

Chocolate Autumn Wedding

I did this for my favorite aunt who finally found her prince charming!! 18, 14, 10 & 6 inch rounds with chocolate buttercream--some chocolate cake and some white. Silk florals. You can see the assembled cake in my other photos.

Sports Balls

All buttercream. Made imprinted circles with different sized drinking glasses, then freehanded the designs.

10 inch round. All buttercream except for fondant ribbon roses.

Onesie And Baby Shoes

This is the second cake that I made like this. The mom to be's sister ordered the first for a shower in our hometown. Four days later, the mom to be called me from her home an hour away to see if I would make another one because her friends were giving her a shower that weekend in their city. She loved the first cake so much that she wanted to buy another herself instead of the grocery store cake that the friends were getting. Made me feel really good! BC with fondant onesie & roses, gumpaste shoes.

Donkey From Shrek

This cake was made at a time when there wasn't a "Shrek" movie out in theaters and I couldn't find a coloring book picture to go by. I had to draw this freehanded by looking at the dvd box. I thought it turned out okay considering. It was actually made for a 43 year old lady's birthday! All buttercream.

Tinkerbell

I did this for my daughter's 9th birthday. It is all in buttercream with cake sparkles added for that "fairydust" look. I thought that the eyes looked a little scary, but she was happy. Thanks for looking.

Veggie Tales

frosting and design in buttercream

Flower/butterfly

White cake with all buttercream to match party napkins. I did a pink and white basketweave around the sides, but you can't see it very well in picture.

Patty's Cake

I did this at the last minute for an extended family member. The groom's grandmother was going to do their cake but fell ill shortly before the wedding. It is all buttercream with the exception of the butterflies which are royal icing made onto wires.
