50's Jukebox Golden Oldie Birthday Cake
Surprise! I have to say, it was SO MUCH FUN to make this cake for my mom, in secrecy, then drive it over to her work (a 1 hour drive mind you) and completely surprise her with it. :0) I think she about fell off her chair. Never mind that she wouldn't let anyone in her office eat it that day (she wanted my dad to see it first, lol, so they ate it the next day!). It's a chocolate cake, with French vanilla creme filling, buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant accents. She loved it! And I loved surprising her! Oh, the jukebox theme fits my mom perfectly, totally her era and she LOVES her golden oldie music!

Mary Engelbreit Inspired Birthday Cake
A Mary Englebreit inspired birthday cake for my mother in law. :0) 9" chocolate cake with French vanilla creme filling, buttercream frosting. And marshmallow fondant decorations. Was a big hit at our family dinner, mostly because the nieces and nephew wanted to eat all that fondant, ha ha.

Welcome To The Jungle, Baby!
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, BABY! LOL. That's what I wanted to put on this cake, but wasn't sure the mom to be would approve of the kind of jungle the classic song refers to, ha ha.I tried to have a little fun with this jungle baby shower cake, anyway, and I really liked how it came out. It's vanilla with chocolate mousse filling and buttercream frosting. All the decorations are marshmallow fondant and all are hand formed. Proportionately, that giraffe annoys me, but heres my defense: I stayed up until 3 am making this cake so it would be done and I'd be free for the BSU-TCU game (heartbreaker though it was!). By the time I finished I was a bit delusional, lol. Hence the monkey feet which are anatomically backwards, ha ha! Ah, well, still better than a monkey could do (I hope). : )

Red Sox Birthday
A 9" 2 layer cake for my hubby. Cherry chip with vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting. Note to self: don't let the teenagers carry the cake. They are pleading the 5th, but this cake did not make it to the table looking like this, lol. Let's just say it was a little "unbalanced." Kind of like teenagers. ;o)

Whimsical Pink And Purple Birthday Cake
My only directives for this cake were that it had to be pink, purple and green, with fondant flowers. :0 ) I tried to make it fun, fancy, and whimsical, and I do think it turned out alright! This one is a 10" 2-layered chocolate fudge cake, with vanilla creme filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. Happy birthday to my beautiful niece, Gracie! Love her so much!
