I made this for my sister and brother-in-law's 25th anniversary. Chocolate and Vanilla cake covered in fondant. Gum-paste flowers and 25.

I made this for the teacher's at my daughter's school. Parent teacher conferences are this week and the PTO provided dinner and dessert. This was part of my contribution. I took a lot of inspiration from other cakes on this site!! Thank you. White cake with vanilla BC. TFL!
I made these cake bites/cake balls for the teachers at my daughter's school. This week was parent teacher conferences and, as a former teacher, I know how fun those can be. ;-) The little chalkboards were a bit more tricky than anticipated and I was very pleased with how the apples turned out. Chocolate and Vanilla cake bites covered in candy melts, the stems and leaves are made from softened Tootsie Rolls. TFL!!

I was inspired by another cake I saw on this site! This was for my niece's 4th b'day. This was my first fondant covered cake and first time working with a cake dummy (bottom tier). Teapot was a bit challenging. Hand made fondant/gum paste accents (minus "glass" slipper). TFL!!
Actually made these last Valentine's day for my daughter's class. Will have to try something different this year. I'm sure to get a lot of inspiration from all of you CCer's. Vanilla cupcakes with BC icing and fondant conversation hearts. TFL!
I made this for my daughter's Kindergarten class. Because Q&U are always together, they decided to get married and each class got to have their own "reception" with Q&U. To honor their "marriage", this was the cake I came up with. My daughter loved it! Both tiers are vanilla cake with the top tier colored blue and the bottom pink. BC icing with fondant decorations. Q&U are 50/50 mix with hand made wedding veil. TFL!!
This was a smash cake made for a little boy's 1st birthday. It was a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed party. The big circle is a 4in. chocolate cake and the ear's are two vanilla cupcakes secured to the bigger cake with lollipop sticks. The parents didn't want this cake to be as messy as a traditional smash cake so instead of icing it with BC, I covered the cake with candy melts and added the fondant accents. TFL!!
Birthday cake for a special little boy. Bottom is Chocolate and the top is Vanilla with BC icing and fondant accents. CC's are mixed as well. Rainbows are Airheads candy strips. TFL!
Baby shower cake for a New Year's baby. Colors scheme matches the room decor and invitations. This was a bit last minute, so I didn't spend as much time as I wanted, but the client was happy. TFL!!
This was a bit of a mess, but I think the mommy to be liked it anyway. I consistently have problems getting my buttercream to crust over and be able to smooth it!!! What am I doing wrong?? Any tips would be helpful. I know about the Viva trick and that will sometimes work, but not always. The bottom tier is chocolate cake with raspberry filling, middle is vanilla with vanilla BC, and the top is lemon with lemon curd filling. Fondant accents. TFL!!
This was a practice cake for an upcoming cake this weekend. I was a bit rushed (my husband's coworkers were getting anxious for the cake to be delivered) and didn't spend much time smoothing out the icing. Stacking is more difficult than it seems and my top tier wasn't as level as I'd like, but overall I was pleased with the result. FYI, the cakes are chocolate with raspberry cream, spice with carmel filling, and lemon. BC icing and gum paste roses. TFL
I found a new way of making fondant/gum paste roses and thought I'd give it a try. These are so quick and easy. TFL!
I had some leftover cake batter after making some cupcakes and threw this together.... I think it turned out pretty cute! Obviously, the cake isn't as tall as it would be if I'd used all the batter for the cake, but it left more room for the candy! Yellow cake surrounded by KitKat's and topped with Fall candy mix. TFL!!!
