Halloween Cake
Halloween is my favorite holiday, so when a friend of my cousin asked me to make a cool Halloween themed cake for her office party, the challenge was happily accepted. I made the pumpkins and tombstones out of fondant and let them dry for a few days (didn't feel like going back out the night I wanted to make these for gum paste!). The only hitch in my plan came about 30 minutes before they were supposed to pick up the cake when I realized there were no dowels to support the top tier. One minor panic attack (and a shot of tequila later) I pulled up the top tier, had my fiance push some dowels in and touched everything up. Whew!

Hello Kitty Birthday Cake
A Hello Kitty birthday cake for a little girl's third birthday. The cake is white cake, strawberry filling. The Hello Kitty was formed with fondant. In retrospect, gum paste would have been the way to go but the project was pushed up a day so I had to start on it earlier than expected and wasn't able to go get gum paste in time. The pieces were placed in the oven with the light on (no heat) for several hours until they were dry enough to hold their shape. Both mother and birthday girl loved it!

Tangled Tower Cake And Cupcakes
This was one of the most fun cakes for me to build so far. It was also a bit of a trip down memory lane, the birthday girl is the daughter of a girl I have known since we were about the daughter's age! It was nice to catch up with the family and I am so happy I was able to make this for her little girl's third birthday. A Krispie treat base held up the cake tower made of strawberry cake with custard filling. The cupcakes were a dozen each of strawberry and vanilla with chocolate chip and had gum paste daisy toppers. The Tangled characters were an added surprise for the adorable birthday girl who turned three last week.

Nascar Cake
This cake was for my fiance's birthday this year. While we are not big Nascar fans in our house, it has become a running joke that our wedding next June will be a Nascar theme. We were touring a HORRIBLE wedding venue and when the woman we met with asked what our "vision" for the day was, he blurted out "NASCAR". We have no idea where it came from! The cake is something my family has dubbed "A Party in your Mouth". The top and bottom layer were chocolate, the center was cheesecake... filled with chocolate sour cream filling and covered in cream cheese frosting... It is SINFUL.

Quilted Wedding Cake
My brother's wedding cake, and the reason I got into cake decorating! When they asked me to make their cake, I knew I had my work cut out for me. Two tiers of chocolate cake with strawberry filling and one tier of white cake with lemon filling. My brother had to swear not to get cake on his bride's beautiful dress!
