Regular Roses

Just a regular birthday cake. I like the colors.

Zebra Hot Pink

Once again another smart customer that trusted my creativity. All she did is brought in the party's invitation and allowed me to do whatever I wanted to go along with the invite. She loved it! I love orders like this much more than when people are overly specific and picky. And I think that these type cakes turn out much cuter too :)

Twinkle And Vanilla Wafer

Cute little slumber party cake. Each sleeping bag is a Twinkie and the heads are vanilla wafers.

Flames

The pic doesn't do this cake justice, it was really cool in real life.

Birthday Surprise

This is one of Publix's signature cakes. I wish I had taken the pic before I put the little birthday surprise thing on top. Just because that part is not my own work, it's a toy.

My Hamburger Cake

I had fun making this one : )

Ivory Fondant With Beads

If I had done this cake though my side business, the entire thing would be edible but....now that I got my job at Publix (that I love!) I have to do it their way and therefore the beads are not edible and the gumpaste bow is put together with wire. : / But I still like how it turned out : )

Chocolate Strawberry Groom

Here is the grooms cake I did, looks delicious!

White Wedding Mixed Shape

This is another angle of my mixed shape cake : )

White Mixed Shape Wedding

I realize the square tier is too large. But it is the dimensions that the client ordered so that's what they got : )

My Second Corset Cake

Okay I realize I already posted my first corset cake but.... I wanted to post this one just because you can really tell how much my Cornelli lace skill has improved since then! (not prefect yet but...) (the client wanted the EXACT cake that I had done before, I was a little disappointed because if I'm going to spend time doing a cake, at least let it be something new that I can add to my portfolio.)

First Cookie Experience

This was my first cookie order, did the NFSC recipe. Turned out really cute I think. I made them to match the corset cake I make. There actually were some other cookies that were also part of the order, that were shaped like their bridemaids dresses but...I was so ashamed of them I didn't even take a pic of them. Both of them I designed the shape myself because I couldn't find cutters that looked right (I just cut them out in cardboard and traced the knife around the cardboard)

Firehat Cake

Thanks cake central for the tutorial! Very helpful, and I love how the cake turned out! It's rare that I'm really, authentically proud of my own work but this was one of the cakes that I was really proud : )

Brown And Pink Wedding

Yes! This cake is done....por fin! First attempt at fondant draping of any kind. Pretty much did all the draping at the reception site, I was really nervous. I also used luster dust for the first time. Didn't really like it on this cake, I think it made the pink look wet.

Cake From Hell

Read my post in cake disasters. This was the "before" pic.

Baby Shower Cake

Pretty straightforward. I had done about two cakes very similar before so this one wasn't a struggle for me. Plus it was really tiny.

Wilton Class Two Basketweave

I had to take the Wilton classes out of order, so this is my last class! I thought I wouldn't like basketweave but I do : ) Very neat.

Modern White And Green Cake

Tada! It was beautiful like this when I delivered the cake, then I went home and got ready (it was for my friend's wedding so I was attending as well) and then I walked into the reception hall and OMG, they had sat it RIGHT in direct sunlight and the decorator's cream cheese frosting under the fondant had bulged between the layers and the whole cake was shiny. I was mortified and angry because I had made a beautiful cake and it was ruined before anyone could see it. But, they SAID they loved it.

My Lava Lamp Cake

I'm proud of this one : ) Thanks to tutugirl for the idea. First time using chocolate fondant and first time successfully making RED fondant!!!!! I didn't have enough money to buy gum paste mix so I made the "P" out of fondant. I was so worried it would bend or fall apart I redid it with a wire skeleton. I loved making this one though, I felt like I was painting a canvas.

White Wedding Cake

My first wedding cake for a client. I was stressed out and kept redoing my fondant over and over. It still looks like crap to me. Lessons learned: Smooth buttercream and freeze before applying fondant. Work in a clean organized ktichen, use cocoa to make red fondant. I tried so hard to make red gum paste and to no avail. I ended up having to go to walmart at like 3am to buy tacky silk flowers. But the bride loved it!!!!

Uga Grooms Cake

Second time using the FBCT method. I love it : )

Grayson's 1St Birthday

This just shows how much better the finished product is when I work in a clean kitchen! Also you can really tell the difference with this cake because I really tried to make the buttercream underneath as smooth as possible before laying the fondant.

My Bustier Cake!

This cake was close to disaster yesterday.... I was able to salvage it with a little help from the Cake Fairy. My first use of Rice Crispy Treats on a cake, I used it for the boobs. Also it was my first time doing the Fresh Raspberry Cake recipe....delicious!

Kermit Cake!

My first attempt at FBCT!!!!! Thanks cakecentral! Also my first use of the wet hot spatula technique and my new coconut recipe.
