Seashell Anniversary Cake

Handpainted beach scene with molded chocolate shells.

"brave" Birthday Cake Scene

My first attempt at a hand painted cake. The tiers are a castle scene (top), a henge (middle) and a forest with witch's cottage painted on gumpaste panels. The figures are by the customer.

Marry Me Or Walk The Plank!

Spongebob Birthday

Lots of fun doing this one. Gumpaste figures and details.

The Most Unusual Quinceanera Cake Ever!

The volcano was actually a dummy cake, and a friend used his dremel to make the tiny chairs. It went over great at the party-- go figure!

Monkey Pool Party

All figures are gumpaste. For a monkey-crazy 7 year old's pool party. Her grandmother told me she's still playing with the figures (but not in the pool!)

Little Mermaid Birthday

Just a quick cake for a friend's daughter.

Ben 10 Birthday

All fondant details. Covered a foam ring for the outside of the top. Like usual the black fondant is a mess to work with.

Graceland

3 layers of "Elvis' Favorite Pound Cake". Fondant with gumpaste accents. For a 13 year-old's birthday.

for a co-worker's shower. We've done this one before, but it came out so much better this time. Practice makes perfect (or better, anyway!)

Zoes_10Th_Birthday_001.jpg

Just a quick cake for my dd-

Wendys_Bday_Cake_004.jpg

my first attempt- I love carving cakes! Many thanks to whoever posted the tutorial on the cowboy hat.

Hatbox Cake 1

A better view of the top details.

Hatbox Cake

This such a weird shape that I was stumped by what to do with it after I baked it, until I thought of a hatbox. I had never tried to cover an oval cake with fondant. I covered the sides, then applied the top and then finished with the edge and bow. The gloves are covered with BC sotas.

Wilton Class 2 Finale

The picture looks like the cake is crooked, but it wasn't. In fact it was one of the levelest cakes I've ever made. But the colorway was the thing I liked the best- the icing wasn't tinted at all- just made the Class Buttercream icing with the butter flavored Crisco and it was an absolutely beautiful shade of yellow.

Happy Birhday Meme

For my MIL. It was such a hit, she refused to cut it for 2 days and then made me do it!

Wilton Class 1 Finale

I'm not a fan of clowns, but I was really happy with the way this turned out, and so was the 6 year old friend who got it as a surprise!

Color Flow Baby Looney Tunes Characters

My 1st attempt- I was so happy with the way these turned out. Learned 1 important lesson, though-- always make 2 of everything. My Tweety took a header and landed on the kitchen floor on the way to being attached to the cake! Almost a disaster.

My 1St Cake For A Non-Family Birthday

This is by far the most challenging cake I've done to date. Getting the cubes to come out even was really hard and required a little "fudging". The blocks are covered with fondant and the characters were created using a kid's coloring page and colorflow technique (also, my first attempt with this technique). I'm pretty proud of it.
