Halloween Monsters

I found these cupcakes in the Wilton 1996 yearbook. I was asked the day before Halloween if I could make some sort of cake for work, so I stole the idea!

Scary Jack-O-Lantern

Made this for halloween/birthday of someone from Puerto Rico. It's two chocolate bundt cakes put together with buttercream icing. I used the handle of a wooden spoon over a paper towel to make the indentions on the pumpkin. The stem is marshmallows.

It's A Girl!

Chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and buttercream icing. The booties and bottle are marshmallows.

Tiger Face

The birthday boy really likes eyes of tigers. I wish I would've taken a slightly different approach to this one, but everyone at the party still liked it. It's half chocolate and half white with buttecream mostly.

Pooh Baby Shower

The host of this shower gave me a pic of the bedding mom chose for her nursery, so I tried to make something that resembled that theme. Everything is free-handed buttercream. Cake is yellow with chocolate mousse filling. It was pretty tasty.

Emerald Anniversary

20th wedding anniversary cake. It's white with strawberry filling and whipped icing. The green colored icing is for the traditional emerald of 20 years. And the day lilies, made of gumpaste, also represent the 20th year.

Idaho Going Away

Made this for a going away party thrown by a co-worker. His friends had been stationed here in Idaho for a few years, and he wanted them to remember their time here. That strange looking creature coming out of the "o" is a whistle pig...aka ground hog. They're all over the place here! Chocolate cake iced in buttercream and decorated with gumpaste mountains and crushed graham cracker sand.

Puerto Rican Boxing Glove

Made this chocolate boxing glove cake for a co-worker's Puerto Rican friend who really likes boxing. The icing on the glove is buttercream, and I had to put it on so thick because of the chocolate crumbs that the shape is not as definite as it was when I first cut it out. The flag is gumpaste because I had some on hand, and I painted it which you can see from the spots was a little messy.

Garden

This cake was done as part of a fund raiser for our local Relay for Life. It raised $120! The color is a little distorted in this pic though- the basketweave was purple not blue. White cake with raspberry filling, mostly buttercream icing, and some flowers are royal icing.

25Th Anniversary

I made this for a surprise anniversary party given for our preacher and his wife. It's a white cake with buttercream icing and scrolls. The pearls and hearts are gumpaste covered with silver pearl dust. I saw a similar cake on this site, and I really liked the scrollwork of white on white.

Winery Bridal Shower

Made this for a coworker who will be hosting a bridal shower. The shower and the wedding will be at a winery, so she wanted grapes. The flowers in the wedding will be calla lilies, and the wedding dress was just an idea I took from the website. I had a terrible time with shaping the dress, as you can see, but overall it's ok. Dress is mostly cake covered in gum paste and painted with pearl dust. The bodice is all gum paste. Calla lilies are gum paste, and all else is buttercream.

Msgt Promotion

Made this for the husband of a coworker who was just promoted to Master Sergeant. White cake all buttercream icing.

Poodles

made for a lady in love with her poodles!

Garden Birthday

I made this cake as a last minute fair entry into the cake decorating contest. It's not really anything special since I had very little time to prepare, so we'll see if I win anything. If nothing else at least I can say I've competed. It's worth the experience.

Mod Mom Baby Shower

Theme for this baby shower was mod mom, and I wanted to do something a little different...this is what I came up with. Cake is white, iced in bc, and accented with bc and fondant. The welcome piece is supposed to be a banner, despite my husband thinking it to be a lightning bolt!

Tinkerbell Birthday

Took my inspiration for this cake from several cakes on this site as well as the party invitations, decorations, etc. Upon request, this cake is white/chocolate marbled with a strawberry filling. Different, but they liked it. = )

Father's Day Bowling

Made for a dad who really likes bowling!

Italian Accented Cake

Another co-woker birthday. Her favorite color is cranberry, so I did my best using all the red dye I had! She has checkered curtains in her kitchen, so that's the reason for the checkerboard sides on the cake. (The dark color in the checker is the same red color on top of the cake...just bad lighting in the photo) Never done grapes before, but they were very easy! All BC.
