I made this cake for my sons 3rd birthday party. His theme was john deere, so I did a little cake with farm animals (made out of fondant) and the large cake is supposed to be farm land. I wanted to make the tractors from fondant but with all the other party stuff to do I didnt have time so the tractors are toys. I was a little dissapointed that I didnt make them (just would have been more special)But overall I was happy with the cake and he was happy he got to play with the tractors so i guess it all worked out. TFL!! :)
Made this cake for my friends sons 3rd birthday. It was a circus theme party. I was SO happy with how this cake came out! I used ideas from other circus cakes here on CC (i dont remember exactly which cakes but thank you for the inspiration!!) All decoarions are made out of fondant except the flags, they are paper that I strung onto string. I dont think that I could have been any happier with this cake and my friend love it! TFL :)

Gender Neutral Pooh baby shower cake for a girl in my office. Pooh is a FBCT, butercream frosted, stripes, bow and bees are fondant. I was really disappointed in my bees but I didnt have much time to do the cake so thats just how it came out. TFL! :)
Bride sent me about 6 pictures of cakes that she liked so we incorporated parts of each cake that she liked and this is what we came up with. Top and bottom tier are white fondant quilted with black dots and middle tier is white fondant with interlocking hearts to match the topper and other decorations she had. Fresh red roses. (Reception was outside but it was a little windy so I set up the cake and left it in the garage until it was time for the reception and then they moved it outside, hence the garage setting hehe)
Client sent me a picture of a cake and wanted me to make it look like that cake. Pink, white and black. Used a stencil for the black damask, my very first time using a stencil, and it went much better than I expected! Fondant flowers, toptier is fondant quilted with pink dots, middle tier is white with black and pink stripes and some bling with her initial. I was super happy with the way it turned out and my client was thrilled with it.
Made this cake for a big conference for a grocery chain. Has baskets of red and green chilis. Chilis are made out of fondant. Other two layers are covered in a marbled fondant of red, orange, and yellow to look like fire, with buttercream flames piped on the side. Wording was the slogan for their conference. I was SO happy with how it turned out and so was the client. Tfl! ; )
I made this cake for a baby shower that I threw for my SIL. I chose the colors to match the decorations and I just wanted to do something really cute and girly but not super babyish.

This is a cake that I did for a meeting for a grocery chains corporate people when they came to New Mexico. They wanted something with chili on it and this is what I did. Made red and Green chilis out of fondant (my husband said they looked more liked jalapenos but whatever, lol I liked the way they turned out) and I organized them to look like a ristra on top and then I just put the chilis around the cake. There is an edible image on the bottom tier with their motto for their meeting. TFL!!
Girly Monkey cake for a friends daughters second bday. She really didnt give me much to go on as far as what she wanted, so this is what I came up with. I loved the cake and I loved the monkey but I wasnt thrilled with the way it sat on the cake (it later in the party ended up falling off the cake cuz it was just not right the way it had to sit on there...:( ) I wish I would have made the monkey smaller but oh well, next time. ; ) Cake is frosted in buttercream and has fondant flowers and fondant monkey. TFL!!

Fondant Giraffe. I really loved the way this cake cam out and they were thrilled with it! : ) TFL!!
This is a cake that I did for the NM state fair (its a dummy cake) Mauve/Pink colored fondant, white Gumpaste Fantasy Flowers (my first time making them), silver ribbon on bottom of each tier and a little bit of Mauve/Pink piping. It seemed kindof plain but I did it WAY LAST minute, and actually fell in love with this cake and I dont know why, lol. I got second place. (the first place cake used a bunch of different techniques, oh well next year)
I did this cake for a quinceanera. It was a 5 tier cake (white cake with raspberry filling). All fondant except the piping is buttercream. (and the mask is store bought) The client gave me a cake that they found online and wanted me to do it just like the picture but different colors. The pic of the cake they gave me was like this but purple and blue so if that was someones cake on here thank you for the inspiration. :) The mask didnt match the colors that they told me to use as much as I would have liked but they purchased the mask and they specifically told me what colors to do on the cake. Oh well... I still really like the way this cake came out. TFL! :)
This is a wedding cake that I did for my cousin's wedding this weekend. It was a topsy turvy cake with gumpaste calla lillies. It was my first time making calla lillies and I had never been taught how so I was pretty happy with my results although they probably could have looked a little better...The bride and I looked on CC for ideas for her cake because she didnt know what she wanted and this cake is based off of a cake that she saw by Bfisher2. TFL! : )
Luau Birthday cake for my daughters 10th birthday. I was really happy with how it turned out.

This was my son's 1st bday cake. I was a little dissapointed because I was originally going to do a tilted cake on wedges. (Got the idea and instructions from macsmom, thank you!!) I guess I didnt do my angles right or something but I couldnt get the cake on the wedges where they didnt want to fall off so I just had to stack so I was dissapointed in that. :( Anyways... fondant covered, dump truck and decorations out of fondant. (I was happy with my dump truck)
I got inspiration for this cake from a cake that cakelady31 did, so thanks for the inspiration! :) I did this cake for a friends son's first bday. I can see quite a few mistakes in it but overall it turned out pretty good. They were happy with it.
