Red Roses & Ribbon
My largest wedding cake yet. Easier than I thought it would be. White cake w/raspberry filling on 1st & 3rd tiers. Fresh roses. The wall behind was burnt orange and totally clashed w/the red. My Mom took liberty and I used more of the tulle from the table and made some panels & drapes and it really softened it and made it blend better.

Choo Choo Train For 3 Generations
What a FUN Cake! The baby likes trains so there in lies the theme. I didn't want the coal car to be too drab so I shook some Goobers with gold dust and voila'- Gold nuggets. Engine & Caboose are yellow cake with BC and center car is choc. cake, choc frosting. When time to cut the top of the caboose was taken off and used for the baby's smash cake. Wheels are Uh-oh oreos with BC and rails on cakes are cut and colored dowel rods. Tracks are BC too. Fun, fun, fun!

Spring Floral Birthday
Two tier hodge-podge! Customer called at the last minute and all I had were 2 yellow 9" layers, 1 white 6", and 1 choc. half ball in the freezer and NO time to bake so I made the best of it! The roses had been made earlier in the week as well so it was easy to get it together. All BC frosting, roses done with a Hershey kiss base (boy I love that tip!) and butterflies I had (my last two) were premade (paper covered with glitter & contact paper)

Raiders Football Cake
9" 2-layer (one choc, one yellow) all BC. Team logo is a printer copy covered in contact paper. I did the football field on the side for some color as well as the red foil. When I delivered it the customer asked if I could do another for her husband when he gets home later in the week as he is a big fan too.

King's Castle-Birthday/father's Day Celebration
2 layer sheet cake (bottom 3rd layer is actually the pan for extra height). Top is a 6" 2 layer round yellow cake. 1/2 choc, 1/2 yellowcake, all BC except the door which is MMF. Turrets are regular ice cream cones end to end in part of a paper towel tube covered in press n seal saran wrap then topped with sugar cones covered in MMF. I designed a special crest for him as he makes his own mead (sort of like wine but made with honey- where the word honeymoon came from!). Very fun!

Last Minute Anniversary Cake
My first Italian Creme cake. For my boss & his wife. They love I.C.C. I had never made one and didn't have coconut (he doesn't like it anyway) or walnuts so I left them out and used pecans. The cream cheese frosting piped very nicely and he just raved over it. A bit more work than regular cakes but it did taste much better than the store bought I.C.C.!

Texas Double Sheet Cake
Two 11x15 sheet cakes (one choc, one yellow) and a Texas shaped choc cake on top. Customer having an anniversary celebration for her business and wanted R,W & B theme as well as the Texas shape but wanted it very clean & simple. This was a VERY heavy cake. I had trouble deciding on a red or blue background and I was glad I chose the red-it made it really stand out.

Pink/choc Scroll Wedding Cake
Choc. Cake w/BC & choc. scroll work. The couple wanted somewhat matching cakes. My first time for using push in pillars but I think they are okay. I also wondered how the white topper would look against them. It was nice to see her beautiful smile when she saw the cakes. Made my day!

Main castle section is a yellow sheet cake halved and stacked with a 2 layer 6"round chocolate on the top. Corners are tw ice cream cones stacked and then one for the center turret. All BC. Lot's of fun designing!

Tiered Wedding Cake
White cake w/BC. The florist and I didn't much agree on where and how many flowers to put on the cake. I thought it was a little unbalanced (didn't tell her this). 10 minutes after she left they started falling off the cake -she had cut the stems too short!!! Glad I had been invited to hang around and the caterer gave me toothpicks to them. I ended up moving a couple of them and learned a lesson. I'm certainly not perfect but I do take advice and suggestions!!!
