Upsidedown

My nine year old requested these colors - and then told me I could "Do whatever I wanted"...

Knight In Lego Armor

Another Debbie Brown Enchanted cakes inspired design. The birthday boy was turning 14 and this is what he wanted...but we had to use the Lego Bionicle for the knight.

Sugar Plum Fairy

My daughter designed this cake with the help of Debbie Brown's Enchanted Birthday cakes. The client wanted the sugar plum fairy, but we needed more cake than that - so the 10" round on the bottom was created for the fairy to sit on. The flowers are all hand made out of gumpaste, as is the fairy herself. All is hand painted.

Rockin' 80's

You see, it was an 80s themed party. And the guys name is Steve. Hence, the awesome 80s color scheme, words and Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs theme. It works perfectly, dont you think?

Swim Team Celebration

Have you ever made a cake and when it was finished thought - "I hope there is really dim lighting in the room..." - that is what this one was for me. Not sure why I had so much trouble, but I will say one thing - Never again will I do a Jell-o swimming pool. What a mess! Anyway - all the figurines were made from sculpey dough and baked and cured before placing on the fondant. They were made in the likeness of the lifegaurds/coaches of our swim team. I do like how they turned out, and we gave them to the coaches before we cut the cake.

Fresh Fruit

French Vanilla Creme cake with Strawberry mousse filling, strawberry preserves, frosted with stabilized whipped cream and topped with fresh fruit.

Haunted House

This birthday cake is for a girl who does not like girl stuff. She's hosting a murder mystery birthday party, and she wanted a haunted house cake. So, we told her she'd be getting a princess castle, and this is what we delivered. :D

Mushroom House - Debbie Brown Design

Happy birthday to my Alison - it's her third, and this is her choice for her birthday cake. She found it in a Debbie Brown book. It was 115 degrees here yesterday, and our Arizona dry heat took its toll on the fondant...so please ignore the cracking.

Mobile Mini

This is a mobile mini office - made for a corporate office party (because my friend happens to work there)...it was fun, but I can't say I'd do another one :)

Chrysanthemum Cupcakes

Debbie Brown's Enchanted Castle

This is my first attempt at a Debbie Brown design...possibly my last attempt...we'll see! Thanks for all your encouragement!

Soccer Field

I had more trouble with this cake than I want to admit. Mostly frosting woes - for example my grass tip kept clogging - so I gave up. :D Scoreboard is made out of gumpaste and royal icing and then painted. The "time" on the clock is the birth year and the score is his age. I resisted putting a number of fouls LOL.

Guitar Guy

Birthday cake for our school's choir teacher. Gumpaste guy (only looks slightly, um...off...yea, we'll go with 'off') cake covered in fondant.

Relief Society Birthday

Relief Society Emblem

This is the cake topper for the Relief Society birthday this weekend. This will prop up on the top of the cake surrounded by yellow roses and blue iris. It's gumpaste, royal icing and hand painted...so don't look to close :)

Jaconde Decor Sides

This is my first attempt at a Jaconde cake. The decor sides are done with a paste, frozen, and then baked into the Jaconde. The cake on the interior is a Carrot Cake with Cheese Cake Mousse layers. There's a lot I learned from doing it, for example - it makes a big mess! But it was fun, and I'll definitely do it again...I think.

Boy Scout Fleur De Lis

These are for our Boy Scouts birthday celebration. They didn't turn out quite like I wanted, but they were good enough :) Fleur de lis are royal icing, hand drawn and left to dry for 24 hours - cupcakes are just plain yellow with buttercream icing and luster dust.

Snow And Ice

This is the second wedding cake my sister and I made together. This was for our niece's wedding, and the theme was Winter/Snow/Ice. The cake is entirely covered in chocolate and dusted in pearl dust. All the pearls were hand made out of chocolate and then covered in pearl dust. The music notes and symbols on the second layer are hand piped with royal icing and a number1 round tip. The Cake topper---well, let's just say, the groom collects rubber ducks.

Byu Football

This was a grooms cake that my sister and I made for our niece's wedding. The groom is an AVID BYU fan (as am I) but my sister is a UTAH fan...(Huge rivalry). The interior of the cake is red velvet with white buttercream filling (The Utes colors...ICK!) - after cutting into the cake the groom stated "That's now not edible"...have to say, I agree with him! Cake is covered in Blue chocolate and BYU and stripes are white chocolate. As stated above, cake is Red Velvet with white buttercream filling.

50Th Wedding Anniversary

These cakes - 16", 12" and 8" are completely buttercream. The couple are great friends of ours, and this cake is a gift. Unfortunately, we'll be out of town for the event on Tuesday so I have to deliver today and it'll remain frozen until then. :( When it's set up the party planner will add fresh black magic roses to the tops of the cake. I do hope it survives until then!

Gift Boxes

This was a last minute birthday cake for my son's kinder teacher. The icing is in all buttercream, the bow on top (which I admit was poorly executed) is made out of tootsie rolls. (Thank goodness for kids' Halloween baskets in a pinch!)

Chick Hicks - The Car, The Myth, The Legend...

This is for my son's fifth birthday. Still unsure why he wanted the "mean green car" but he did! I ran out of time to finish some of the detail, but he loved it and that's all that matters, right?

Fourth Of July Birthday

It's not a pretty cake, but it's my first attempt and a cupcake cake, and she likes it - so that's all that matters. Let's face it, I'm trying to please the discerning tastes of a two year old...the bar wasn't set all that high.

Calla Lillies

This is the first cake my sister and I did together. I wish I lieved closer to her so we could do more. This was for my Brother in Law's wedding. It is covered in chocolate clay and ribbon with silk calla lillies.

Teacher Appreciation

This idea was borrowed from a few other cakes here on CC that i have seen and absolutely adored. It is entirely done in chocolate clay (the black is semisweet chocolate with black food coloring mixed in, then brushed with cornstarch for the effect of a recently erased chalk board), including the apple which is molded from red modeling chocolate. The chalk is gumpaste. Thanks for looking, and once again for the inspiration on this one! I love CC!

Jeweled Fondant

Mini version of a wedding cake made for a friend's church group activitiy where they were teaching the girls about marriage. She told me I could do whatever I wanted - I love cakes like that! :)
