Zebra And Hot Pink Cake!
This was made for my granddaughters 8th grade graduation party She had wanted it for her birthday but it didn't happen.. Bottom layer white almond, top layer is chocolate fudge. First time doing zebra stripes, done free-hand with a pizza cutter. She loved it and that's all that matters :)

First Wedding Cake
This is my first wedding cake. Initially the couple wanted just one round buttercream cake to feed 10-15 people and then it kept getting larger and more things were requested, lol. Finally they cake me a new total on guest and gave me carte blanche to do what I wanted and besides using their colors, I went with what I would like for my wedding cake lol. It is white cake with almond buttercream covered with MMF. The yellow dogwood flowers are made of a 50/50 mixture of fondant and gum paste (done the night before the wedding because up till then they only wanted buttercream flowers). Purple flowers are MMF. Love this cake :)

Spring Time In Green
Doing a wedding cake for a couple and they wanted all buttercream. I put this cake together the day they were coming over to leave their deposit, in hopes that they would like the look of fondant and decide to go with that instead. This is a vanilla cake with vanilla/almond buttercream filled and crumb coated, marshmallow fondant and fondant decorations. Really enjoyed making this cake. It made me feel like spring was around the corner :) fondant decorations.

Lemon On Lemon
Lemon zest cake filled with lemon curd and iced with lemon buttercream. Was concerned I wouldn't be able to finish this cake before it was to be picked up because my arms decided to quit working very well (I have FMS). The flowers and trim were put on with the failing arms, lol. My friend loved the cake and considering my challenges at the end, so did I :)

Mrs Claus
This is my first attempt at a doll cake (and first attempt at piping small details) and I did not have any special pans so I used a pyrex bowl and 8" round pan torted and filled. I used fondant to make her clothing and apron (took almost an entire bottle of Wilton Red Red to get the color of her dress!). Hair, decorative trimming and her hair is all almond buttercream. I did make a pair of glasses out of an ornament hook but the center piece kept coming lose so gave up on them. This was a very fun cake to make!

Moshi Monster Birthday Cake
This is a Moshi Monster birthday cake made for my grandson. I had never heard of Moshi monsters till two days prior of making the cake lol. I do not know what the dark looking shadow is across the bottom of cake but I believe it's from my ceiling fan slat. Everything is made from fondant :)

My First Time Working With Fondant
This is my first attempt working with fondant and I really enjoyed it. I was so nervous prior to working with it that I couldn't believe how much fun it was. I made a white almond sour cream cake with an almond buttercream filling I created. It was so delicious. Can't wait for the next one :)
