Kfc Bucket Of Chicken

My niece requested a bucket of chicken cake for her 16th birthday. Marble Cake, Cream Cheese Icing. Hand painted Colonel Sanders. Chicken is half RKT half cake balls, dipped in chocolate and covered in graham cracker crumbs.

Fish Cooler Groom's Cake

My brother-in-law called and said for his groom's cake all he wanted was a small mouth bass... to feed 60 people, heh. This is what we came up with! He loved it. Obviously the cooler could use some polishing, but I was so proud of that fish! Some people thought it was actually a real fish and were totally grossed out.

Movie Reel Cake

One of my best friend's got married this weekend, and I did the groom's cake as a gift. He used to work at the local theater as a projectionist with some other friends of ours and is a huge movie buff, so his fiancee wanted to surprise him with the movie theme. I got old accessories from the theater from other friends to accent the cake. Red velvet, Carrot, and Strawberry all with Cheesecake SMBC and MMF. I was so glad he loved it!

Cake For Baby Madelyn

I co-hosted a baby shower this weekend for our dearest friends, expecting little Madelyn Brooke in a few weeks. One of the hostess gifts to them was a set of personalized baby blocks, and I thought it would be fun to make a cake to match them. It's several different cakes, 9x5 to 6x4, half strawberry/cream cheese, half chocolate/chocolate. TFL!

Candy Canes!

My first year making candy canes! Gotta admit I used cinnamon flavor instead of the traditional peppermint and I love it.

Haley's First Birthday Cake!

My daughter turned one this weekend, and I had to do the giant cupcake tradition I've done with my other kid. The cupcake is a Coca-Cola Fudge cake with a fudge filling, and then covered in SMBC in a candy cupcake liner. The bottom is a vanilla bean cake with SMBC filling and covered in chocolate ganache. The bugs are all royal icing transfers, the pattern from a set of sippy cups my girls have. TFL! Edited to include that the bottom cake was inspired by: http://cakecentral.com/gallery/2170758 :)

Fall Themed Birthday Cake

I made this for me and my brother for our September birthdays. Tree stump is strawberry cake with rolled buttercream, and the pumpkin cake is a pumpkin spice cake with cinnamon cream cheese covered in fondant. The plate the cake is on is a poured sugar plate I made, the acorns are butterscotch flavored candy from homemade molds, and the leaves are gumpaste also made from homemade molds. This was so much fun!!

Phineas And Ferb

I have been dying to do a Phineas and Ferb cake for a while since it is one of my daughter's favorite shows. My friend's son wanted a P&F cake, so she let me run wild! The cake is devil's food with twinkie filling and buttercream. Fondant accents, and the characters are tinted candy melts piped onto wax paper like a transfer. I put sucker sticks on the characters so the kids at the party could each have their own. It was time consuming, but I was pleased with how it turned out, even if the humidity caused my buttercream to be tempermental and not cooperate.

Army Baby Shower Cake

My friend is due at the end of August and her husband is currently deployed. She really wanted a cute, army themed cake. This was my first time covering in white chocolate ganache, then MMF. I loved it!

Pulled Sugar For 50Th Birthday

Monster High Cake

This cake just about did me in! I would have loved to have used fondant, but my friend specifically wanted buttercream. Fondant accents were acceptable, just not completely covered. It was the first hot, humid week here in TN and my icing just didn't want to cooperate. I got it done, but could've been happier. If I hadn't of had time constraints I just would have redone it. I did love the topper though!

Pulled Sugar Flowers

This cake was a first in many ways! First time every playing with pulled sugar. First time using a different smoothing method on a new buttercream recipe. First time trying to hand paint on buttercream. And a new recipe. Phew! I love that I have friends who will just let me play and do whatever I want for birthday cakes. Despite the newness of everything, and the crazy TN humidity, I thought it turned out alright. I can't wait to get into pulled sugar more!

Spring Cupcakes

French Vanilla cupcakes with Keylime Buttercream and MMF fondant accents. I saw a thread on here about quilling fondant flowers and wanted to give it a try!

Dinosaur Birthday Cake

Dinosaur cake for my cousin's 5th birthday. RKT Dinosaurs and volcano, covered in modeling chocolate, and fondant/modeling chocolate palm trees.

Acoustic Guitar Cake

This was my first time using RKT and modeling chocolate. Overall I was pretty pleased! My friend Becky is a high school drama teacher, so her boyfriend wanted to try and do something musical and incorporate all the places she lived. So we did the guitar and covered it with state bumper stickers. The drama masks were made from fondant with tylose powder mixed in. All in all, it was a lot of fun! It's chocolate, with twinkie type filling, covered in chocolate ganache and MMF.

Chocolate Fall Cake, Fondant With Leaves

My very first fondant covered cake for my family reunion! All made from scratch. :)

Titans Themed Birthday Cake

My first attempt at a carved cake, and a buttercream transfer due to the detail in the team logo!

Titans Themed Birthday Cake

For my dear friend's 30th, he wanted a Titan's themed cake. I decided to do a little carving (which I hadn't attempted at all before) and a buttercream transfer instead of fondant due to the details.

Packers Helmet Cake

This is really my first carved 3-d style cake. It was for a Superbowl Party this year! Go Packers! Props to my husband for helping me with the licorice face mask since my fondant fell apart in drying :)

Superman Birthday Cake

My cousin called again and wanted a Superman themed cake for her son's first birthday. His nickname is Superdoodle, and I took it from there! This is my first time handpainting on fondant. It's a 2 tier chocolate cake with twinkie type filling, and buttercream icing covered in marshmallow fondant, all made from scratch. The bottom layer has a handpainted Metropolis skyline, and the a Superman cake with logo cascades down the back. Loved it!

Minnie Mouse Themed Cake

My cousin called and asked me for a strawberry Minnie Mouse cake for my cousin's 2nd birthday. She gave no other direction than that, and left me completely on my own! This was my first time working with black homemade fondant, but it went well enough. I like making everything from scratch, so I always make my own marshmallow fondant. I tried piping the lettering onto the fondant ribbon, but it was hard to do, so I had to cleanup a couple of mishaps. For my first fondant birthday cake, I was pretty pleased!
