"bella's Cake" From New Moon

I saw this cake on the trailer of New Moon last year and knew I had to make it for a show. The cake only had about 2 seconds of movie time but longer in the trailer or I wouldn't have noticed it. The original was done by Thomas Haas of Fine Chocolates in Vancouver for the movie. Mine was a show cake covered with 5 colors of green fondant stripes and gumpaste gerberas.

This was a 6 tier beast of a cake with layers of strawberry, Sour Cream Almond, and Milk Chocolate. Fondant Accents-the bride saw a photo in Martha Stewart's cakes and we changed colors and tiers to give her something truly unique.

Black And White Inspired By Necklace

This is a cake I did for a wedding show. I had asked Mom to send a few pieces of jewelry to inspire me. I saw this piece and couldn't resist a black and white cake.

Square Cake With Ribbons

StepOnmi's orange ribbon cake was the inspiration for this one. I think there have been others posted as well. The cake flew with me to Chicago for a NYE wedding-I blogged about it on my site. It was a 10, 8, 6" square of vanilla with Bavarian, Red Velvet with cream cheese, and double chocolate with Kahlua fudge. Thanks for the inspiration! My cousin was thrilled with the results.

Hexagon Cake With Pirouettes And Berry Branches

This was a simple cake that got a lot of attention at the bridal show. It was made simply with pirouette wafer cookies and berry branches. My theme was a Winter Wonderland and I loved how this looked along with the other cakes.

Sandcastle With Chocolate Shells

This was made from rounds covered with brown sugar. I prefer pecan sandies for the sand but it was a show cake. The shells are chocolate from molds brushed with dry luster dust. Turrets are paper towel tubes.

Shades Of Chocolate

This was a cake I made for the bridal show this weekend. There is no food coloring used in the chocolate fondant-only varying degrees of dark chocolate. This was made as a puzzle of sorts from squares and triangles.

Snowflake Splendor

I made this for a bridal show this weekend. I'm sure the inspiration came from a CC member but I don't think this is the same design. This is covered with MMF and RI snowflakes.

Piece Of Cake In Super Bright Colors

I wanted to try this style of cake after seeing so many fabulous ones on CC. I had my opportunity when my daughter's best friend turned 17. She loves pink purple and bright green. White and chocolate cakes covered with MMF which is harder than I thought to cover the spot where the piece is taken from. The kids loved it.

Laptop Cake For Groom

This was strawberry cake covered with dark chocolate homemade fondant. The back was fondant covered cardboard. The picture was printed on regular photo paper and laminated because obviously the back was inedible. This was also inspired by a few in the gallery. It took longer than I wanted it to.

Nightmare Before Christmas Birthday Cake

My daughter turned 16 last week and picked the theme I despise the most. I do think the cake turned out well though. Sizes were 16, 10, and 6. Figures were made of fondant/gumpaste mix. She designed the cake-I just made it. :)

M&m Cake For My Amazing Sister

I looked through SEVERAL cake pics here on CC to find the perfect design for my sister's 40th birthday cake. She is the most amazing sister in the world and she LOVES peanut m&ms. We surprised her by driving 6 hours to her house and sharing a wonderful family weekend. This was a slab white cake with chocolate buttercream, covered with MMF. All figures were made with MMF and peanut m&ms were scattered when it was complete.

Ring Bearer Pillow

This was a special wedding cake for a man who found love again after his wife passed. He called me himself to make the cake when he had been engaged for 31 hours. I had free reign of colors, flavors, and design and was asked to make it "unique, elegant, and very special". It is for a small wedding, so it is a 10" square french vanilla with strawberry filling, carved and covered with MMF. These are my very first Calla Lilies also. THANKS KATHY for the how-to!!! I think this would be nice for a shower.

Hello Kitty

This cake was completely inspired by _ChristyB_'s version of Hello Kitty. I loved her use of color and flowers. I changed the actual "kitty" and added gumpaste letters for the birthday girl's name. This was a 10" round strawberry cake with buttercream and fondant decorations. Kitty was made with Royal Icing.
