Sweet 16 Cake For A "delayed By One Year Quincenera"
This is a 4 tiered stacked hearts cake that was done as a cooperative effort between myself, the aunt of the recipient and the grandma of the recipient. We all worked together on this. The aunt was supposed to do the whole shebang but she had to finish the dresses so she asked me to finish it for her. This is how it turned out and the aunt and the grandma and the 16 y.o loved the way it turned out.

Safari Birthday Cake
this is one of two cakes I did for my first "website" customer. She called all the way from NC for a cake for her Granma here where I live. She wanted it to be in a "safari" type theme and that her Granma loved elephants. I hope I did the customer justice. It's an half-sheet white no filling with IMBC (man, I love that stuff) airbrushed with zebra stripes and elephant portriat on it.

Ivory And Chocolate
This is a simple little two cake for a wedding. I liked it with just the cornelli on the top but wiser minds prevailed and we did the cornelli on the whole thing instead before delivery. I had had a bad week this week, two funerals and havin to make the donuts. So if it's not perfect, that's why. (sigh)

Independance Day
This is the cake I made for the "Sweet Times in the Rockies" cake show in Denver this weekend. The cakes are fake of course but they are covered in fondant with the horse made of modeling chocolate and the belt buckle is gumpaste. The second tier is painted and the bottom is a fondant band made to look like tooled leather, I also covered the board with fondant in a distressed finish and painted to look like denim. I wanted the top to look like fireworks with wires and fondant pearls.

100% Michoacan Mexico Flag Cake
Just another cake i did at work. (this is the second one I have made for the same lady) she said the first one made a grown man cry ( he liked it) It's just a simple buttercream n all that stuff airbrushed and piped medallion on the tip with triple e-motion top border and beaded bottom border. (to get gold you mix lots of yellow with just a touch of purple. keeps the color more vibrant and clean that way). So needless to say the lady just loved it. Tried to make the piping look like feathers

Naomi's Cake
I made this cake for my dtr's baby shower. It was carrot cake from the box with eggnog instead of water added, filled with homemade pineapple filling. Cake is covered with creamcheese buttercream then green fondant. Tweety and leaves and "butterflies" (which my 3 y/o g.s. helped paint) are made of mmf fondant. The purple roses (my daughter's fav color) are of royal icing as are the butterflies bodies. She loved the cake and it was good tasting too!
