This friend asked me to make a girlie skull cake for her daughters 11th birthday. I will say this is not my thing and I kinda think skulls are gross and don't understand why people want them on their cakes, LOL! I am so grateful for all the great cakes out here that inspired me and I actually think it turned out cute, if that's possible to use skull and cute in the same description! The client loved it and much to my chagrin my 8 year old daughter decided she wants a skull cake for her bday in 5 months.
This little girl wanted the cake from the Wilton year book . This was a fun cake to make and I think it turned out sweet.
All MMF accept for the Mario on top.
The couple wanted a simple cake with a Celtic ring of eternity. All done in fondant. The ring around the middle tier took about two hours to do, it was so time consuming. I painted white fondant with silver luster dust for the silver affect. I think it would have looked nice with the ring around each tier but it would have been way to time consuming to do that.
This cake was a tall 6" cake for a baby shower. Based the cake on a swatch of fabric for the baby's room. Really cute colors.
This is all butter-cream except the animals which are fondant. For a first birthday smash cake. This was fun to make but the shape was a little harder to carve than I thought it would be.
This was for a small wedding. The bride made the paper flowers and wanted them on the cake. Usually I like everything to be edible but made an exception here.
I consider this a bit of a disaster. I wasn't really happy with the outcome of the design. It was too busy and I wish I would have not used the pink but just stuck with the two colors of sangria and white. Should have just done the daisies and left everything else off. I would have even left off the centers of the daisies if I were going to do this again. Oh well. The bride did love it though so I guess that is what really matters. I learned a few lessons with this one. I drove it to the reception site fully assembled which I probably wont do again and I used straws for support which I won't do again either. The road was so rough that while in transit the very bottom tier's fondant started to sag, shifted a little and tore at the top. I was so upset about that. I will never do another tiered cake without using SPS!! I will probably also make sure and use a crusting bc beneath the fondant so that it doesn't ooze if there is a slight tear in the fondant and the fondant wouldn't have shifted around as easily.
This cake was for my daughters 7th. She designed it. BC frosting with royal icing cheetah.
chocolate cake. handmade fondant pansies and roses.
This is a cake I made for my nieces 14th birthday. Her favorite colors are pink and purple. It's chai tea cake with coconut lime filling and cream cheese icing (yum!). The gold accents are gumpaste painted with luster dust. The 14 and plaque are also gumpaste, painted with luster dust. My nephew and daughters helped put this together. My 8 year old daughter made the fondant roses! Not bad. Thanks for looking.
This is my first wedding cake. Bride wanted off white with white royal icing swiss dots and gold ribbon. 14, 10, 8, and 6 inch 4 layer cakes. Chocolate/raspberry filling/choc bc; red velvet/choc truffle filling/cream cheese icing; lemon/lemon curd/vanilla bc frosting. MMF covering each layer. Used the SPS system. Any comments welcome.

This was requested by someone who didn't know what they were having. They just wanted simple borders, inscription, and baby shoes. The baby shoes are made out of gingerbread cookies and iced with butter cream frosting.

This was for my daughters 6th birthday. She was really specific about what she wanted on her cake. Leaves going around the sides and zebra laying down in the jungle. I hand molded the zebra out of white fondant and then painted the stripes on.
These are some more of the cookies that I made for teacher appreciation week at my kids' school. The apples are actually a pumpkin cookie cutter because I couldn't find an apple but it worked.
