Fall Birthday Cake

I made this cake as a donation for a silent auction -- the winner wanted a fall-themed birthday cake for her sister. White cake, pumpkin-flavored IMBC filling, mocha IMBC icing. All decorations are from IMBC. (I'm reposting and deleting the first photo, which was out of focus!)

Amanda's Cake

I made this cake for a cake raffle winner. I wish my icing were smoother, but I was really pleased with the design. All IMBC except the graduation cap, which is royal icing run-in.

Job Anniversary Cake

I made this cake for my husband's 10th anniversary on the job. I always find it challenging to design a masculine cake, and he requested no chocolate! The cake is a scratch spice cake with Nutella mousse filling; the icing is all Italian meringue buttercream.

Gigi's Birthday Cake

I made this cake for my dear grandmother's birthday this weekend. I'm particularly pleased with the colors; they were achieved with the Wilton "garden colors" set of 4 pots (delphinium blue, aster mauve, juniper green, and a yellow). Icing and decorations are all Italian meringue buttercream.

Baby Cake

This baby shower cake is yellow cake, torted and filled with hazlenut mousse, and iced and decorated in Italian meringue buttercream. I really wanted to practice my basketweave, and was pleased with how it came out. Less than pleased, though, at how many air bubbles were in my icing! Next time, I'm going to switch from the whisk beater to the paddle when adding the butter to see if that helps.

Fall Birthday Cake

This is my first photo here. This cake was donated to a Katrina fundraiser at my husband's office. The winning bidder requested a yellow birthday cake with chocolate icing to celebrate a triple family birthday -- 2 men and a woman. The leaves are piped candy melts, the icing is chocolate IMBC.
