Princess Merida From Brave

My friend wanted a small but fun cake based on Brave for her granddaughter. I sculpted the large stones and piped the letters out of sugar veil for it's flexibility. This is my first attempt at using airbrushing on a cake. The characters are toys.

Favorite Things Twin's Birthday Cake

This is a gluten, dairy and soy -free cake. These are the twins' favorite things: one like fairies, books and the color purple; the other likes frogs and had a bearded dragon and likes the color blue. Not my best technical cake ever, but they really liked it.

Golf Wedding Cake

This was for my sister-in-law's wedding reception. It's playful and fit their personalities. It's a gluten free yellow cake with whipped chocolate ganache filling covered in chocopan. I sculpted their pets out of chocopan as well - she's a veterinarian and they both love golf.

Fortune Cookie Cake

I wish I had a better photo of this. I made a white cake and covered it with tan colored chocopan, brushing it with various luster dust colors to make the mottled effect. The fortune itself is gum paste rolled out and set to dry over two rolling pins for the shape and I had my local bakery print the text and attached it with frosting. The hardest part was getting the chocapan "fondant" to stick on the underside of the cake.

Eyeball Soup

I did this one in 2009 when a friend said she wanted an eyeball soup cake at our Halloween party. I made a red velvet cake which made it fun when cutting into it. This was my first shaped cake and I really enjoyed making the skeleton fingers out of gum paste. I dusted them with cocoa powder to make them look old. The eyeballs are marzipan and piping gel.

Penguin Winter Wonderland

I was in charge of our Christmas Party this year and I work with atmospheric/weather scientists. I thought they would appreciate penguins on an "iceberg." It was a big hit. I have Celiac disease, so I don't keep regular flour in my house -- they ate my gluten free cake and raved about it for two days. This is the third shaped cake I've made so far.
