Pasty's Bridal Shower
Top is spice cake and bottom is fudge chocolate. Both are layered with caramel coconut filling. This bride loves chocolate so she got what she wanted. The round things are to represent colored bubbles. The bubbles kept rolling off the cake. Patsy's sisters kept putting them back on. Everyone loved it! The bubbles are made out of fondant.

Calla Lilies
I put this cake in this album because the cake is not mine, but the flowers are. This is part of my sisters wedding cake. The flowers traveled about 1,000 miles. I live in MI and my sister lives in GA. There were 10 lilies in all and some ivey sprays and some filler flowers. I dusted the flowers with gold pearl dust.

Dannial's First Wedding Cake
My daughter made this cake a few years ago and she never had a cake decorating class! She came to me and and told me what she wanted to do and this is the result. I didn't help her do any of it and I understand no can believe that she didn't take classes. She would be with me during her growing up years "helping momma" while I did cakes for other people. Dannial was 21 when she did this. She has been doing cakes ever sence this one and comes to me when she gets stumped on a technique. It's in the blood!

Various Flowers
I'm real bad at photo taking. All I have is an old 35mm camera. I'm pushing for a digital and classes! This fuzzy picture has several of the sugar floral arrangements I have done this past couple of weeks. Yellow roses, pink roses, pink tulips (first time for these), filler flowers, and two orchids (first time for these). I wish the picture was better. I'm sharing anyway!

Old Photo
Ok, this is me about 32 years ago in a faded out black and white poloroid picture that my mom took of me and my first commisioned birthday cake. I know that the picture is bad, but I had to share this with you all. It was taken in 1975. So that tells you how long I've been doing cakes. I was 14 years old when I learned how to decorate. The flowers are hard to see. They were all out of royal icing. Heart picks. It was a heart shaped cake.

Royal Icing Roses
I did this cake for a bride I never met. My mom asked me do it for a young bride that didn't have the money to buy one. My mom bought the ing. and I made it at my mother's home some 120 miles from where I live. The cake traveled about 50 miles before getting to where it needed to go. My mom set the cake up and I was told the bride loved it. Yellow cake, buttercream icing and pink roses.

Summer Wedding
This cake was done in 1980. It was yellow cake and buttercream icing. The flowers were alll royal icing. The cake topper was the bride's mother's topper. I remember a child skidding on the slick wood floor and hitting the table. The cake swayed and the bride ran to the cake and held onto the cake so it wouldn't fall. I'm sure she atill laugh's to this day!

Sandy's Wedding Cake
This cake is about 25 years old. It is my sisters cake that was vanilla and buttercream. The pink roses on the base cake were done by my old cake insturctor that happened to be in the same state at the time. She used crushed, strained strawberries to get the color. They tasted good too. I took one cake course from my instructor and that was ten years before this cake was made!
