She's A Champion Horse
My daughter's 12th birthday was on Thanksgiving day! So in the mix of cooking Thanksgiving dinner, I had 2 come up with a birthday cake. Well she always has loved animals, horses & tiger are her favorites, so in 2 days I made her this cake. The cake is my basic cake recipe. Then I injected my homemade french vanilla pudding into the cake, after it was cooked & cooled. The icing was my homemade cream cheese whipped icing with a secret twist to it. The Fondant was all banana flavored MM Fondant.

A Teddy Bear In A Basket
This cake was for a young lady at my church who was going away to Bible College. This was a birthday and going away cake. She really loves teddy bears, but doesn't care alot for fondant. So keeping this in mind, along with me trying to make all my cakes 3D, we cake up with a Bear in grass, inside a basket. Maybe wasn't my best looking cake, but with it being injected with my homemake choclate pudding inside my french vanilla cake, and strawberry flavored royal icing, and Strawberry buttercream, it really was 1 of the top 5 tasting cakes!

Old Lady In A Rocking Chair
This cake was a very Quick cake.cake idea, cake, design, everything all happened in less than a week, which is record timing, when making everything from scratch, and knowing fondant has to dry!!! The lady that I made this cake for was....over 50, and she loves her dog! Everything she does her dog does, so that is where I came up with her being in a rocking chair, with a cane, and her dog laying on a dog bed, with a matching cane. She really got a kick out of this cake, it was a total surprize and her and "the dog" both Loved it!

Mcjrotc Marines Birthday Cake
I made this for my son's 16th birthday. He is in the MCJROTC at school, and is wanting to join the marines when he graduates, so what better way for us to celebrate his 16th birthday then for me to make him a Marines cake. The cake is my french vanilla cake, then I injected the cake with my homemade chocolate pudding. The icing is a strawberry cream icing. The fondant is Strawberry MM Fondant. We surprized him with this cake, I had baked it and made the decorations Early that morning, then when he woke up his 3 younger sisters served him breakfast in bed, while I finished the cake. It turned out to be GREAT and he Really Loved it!

A Cake Full Of Violets
This was the 2nd sheet cake that I made to go with my 50th anniversary cake. This one is pretty plain, I didn't want it to look nacked so I placed a few extra flowers and leaves on it, and then my son (whom has never even came close to 1 of my cakes) piped the ruffles around the top. And I think it turned out pretty good!

50 Th Anniversary With Open Bible
This cake I made for 1 of the best missionaries that I know. Our church is throwing them a surprize Anniversary celebration. With it being 50 years I really wanted this cake to be as special, as they are to us. It was the bigest cake that I've made, it is a full sheet cake 18x24x2.

My Tiny Little Bible Cake
This cake is only 4in.x5in. This cake was Definitely the HARDEST cake that I've made, considering the size and trying to pipe the letters took over 2 hours to get them right! The cake icing fondant is all homemade. I make MM Fondant (minimarshmallows, veg. shortening, 3T. water 1 T. van. flavoring, and powdered sugar). The cake is my french vanilla cake with my strawberry buttercream icing. I always use Wilton's icing colors, for all my icing, fondant, & piping colors.

My Pastor's Birthday Cake; Luke 10:2
This cake I made for my Pastor's birthday. And with us having the Best Pastor in the whole world, I really wanted this cake to be extra special, but not to extravagant. Our Pastor is a Old Fashion Bible believing/ teaching Pastor who like things Simple and To the point. So that is how and why I decided to do a pretty plain open bible cake, with his life verse, and a plain wooden cross on it. I thought it would be pretty simple to make a cake of an open book....I was Wrong! But after 2 days of "final adjustments" this is what I had. Also My Pastor and family are trying to eat healthier, so I did my best to make this cake as healthy/low fat as a cake could be. I used unsweetened applesauce in place of the eggs for the cake. It had a cheesecake filling in between the layers, made with orange juice, and minimarshmallows, with NO sugar added to the filling. The icing I used reduced fat cream , and mini marshmallows to get the creamy, not so sweet icing, and the right consistency. I made my own MM fondant, and homemade royal icing to write with.

Kenyadas_Grad_Cake_5-13-2009.jpg
This cake was made for a VERY Special Young lady at our church who is graduating from college. She was 1 of the 1st bus kids at our church over 17 years ago (alot longer than me), and is now graduating from college. With this being such a great achievement, I was hoping to surprize her with something that would let her know how special she is, and how proud we are of her and of what an amazing young lady that she has become! Knowing that she loves frogs this is what I came up with... The cake is a basic French vanilla cake... BUT when I baked the cake I placed cupcake cups in the batter, so that when it baked it would have 6 round cup wholes in the cake, which I filled with cheesecake pudding in and on the top of each layer after the cake cooled. Then there is a thin layer of buttercream icing around the cake to hold the vanilla flavored fondant on the cake. The brown "ground" part on top of the cake is left over parts of the cake, topped with chocolate icing, then with brown tinted fondant. The frogs are Rice Crispy treats covered with fondant. The "lake" is fondant with a light coating of blue tinted icing to make it look more like water. I was pleased with the out come of the cake, (this is only my 4th speaciality cake) but most importantly she loved it and everyone at church seemed to love it too, so with that being said, I think my goal aws a sucess! Congratulations Kenyada! I can't wait to see what ALL GOD has in store for you next!

Chads_Airplane_5-7-09_001.jpg
I made this Airplane cake for my Pastor's son's graduation. Every trial and error that could of happened.... DID! This cake was suppost to be a cessna Shaped Airplane! With the weather tempatures going up, when I left the cake out over night for the fondant to dry, the heat and humitity got the best of it, and the plane split and the icing under the fondant MELTED! So with only 1 1/2 days to get this done I had to try to come up with a plan B, and this is it. Over all I think it turned out pretty good, I injected the cake with cheesecake filling, the cake it's self is a basic french vanilla home made cake with buttercream icing. My Pastor's son was very surprized with the cake and he really liked it, it also served as his daughters birthday cake the next day ( I didn't know her birthday was the following day, so that turned out perfect.)

It's Spongebob My Daughters 5Th Birthday!
I made this cake for my youngest daughter's 5th birthday, in March 2009. She LOVES Spongebob! This was only the 2nd speacality cake that I had ever made. It is completely homemade... from the cake batter to the icing (under the fondant) to the fondant, and all the body parts. The entire cake is all eatable. The cake is a basic cake recipe (flour, sugar, lard, milk, eggs, and Strawberry flavoring.) The icing is a buttercream icing recipe (powered sugar, lard, butter, vanilla, milk, and salt) The fondant is ALL Banana flavored! (marhmallow fluff, powered sugar, CLEAR Banana flavoring, and Wiltons icing colors.) It takes appro. 2-3 days to make. (because of making and forming the fondant and allowing it to dry.) I actually was watching Spongebob on TV while making this.... to get all the details of him. Overall I was very satisfied with the cake, my daughter LOVED it, she took some of it to church and shared it with all of her Sunday School class!
