Castle Cake

This is the HARDEST cake I have ever made!! This is the first time working with candy melts (thanks, ladies on the candy forum for all your help and support) and the first time I have worked with royal icing (which wasn't stiff enough!). I was disappointed that my sticks were too long, but the birthday girl LOVED the cake and that's all I can ask for!!

Gingerbread House And People

Non-traditional Happy Birthday, Jesus cake! My husband and I decorated with the candies and sprinkles. I love Gingerbread houses so this was fun and easy to do!! The kids were already in bed! :-)

Happy Birthday, Jesus

Used Funfetti cake and frosting, with their sprinkles - simple and fast, and very tasty!

Cars #9 Cupcake Display

I love my cupcake display!! My son and his cousins loved this one!

Cars #9 Cake

Again, the inspiration here at CC is priceless! All icing is buttercream!

Easter Basket

Thanks to all the inspiration on CC! This is my first basketweave and it was so fun and easy! I used buttercream icing and assorted candies for the top.

35Th Wedding Anniversary Cake

Sorry about the "blurring" - I don't even know how to do that, but these were little photographs I took, printed very small on photo paper, cut out and attached to toothpicks for my in-laws anniversary! The cake turned out so neat and they loved it! I realized how many ways you could use your photographs to personalize a cake!! The icing is all chocolate buttercream, same shade.

Tigger World Series Cake

My daughter turned 14 and didn't really want a theme party, but I did! So I told her to pick anything! She chose Tigger! But as the party came up, the Cardinals were in the World Series, and they were playing that night! We had to modify! I hand drew the jersey on Tigger and my daughter printed up signs off the internet! Ironically, the Cardinals were playing the Detroit TIGERS, so we needed to address that! If you look closely, one of the signs says, "In spite of my tail, I'm a Cardinals fan!"

Spongebob Baseball

I think this is my 3rd Spongebob cake!! My nephew wanted baseball with Spongebob! I used the Wilton pan and followed the picture that was in one of their yearbooks to make him a baseball player! The glove is a sugar cookie and is being held up with a large jar of icing coloring! :-)

Softball Cake

I used a Tupperware container that was the size I wanted for the softball, and gently pressed it into the icing for my pattern. I free-handed the rest! Our team of girls loved the cake!

Slot Machine Cake

I lifted this idea off this website again!! I loved how the cake turned out! It was so much work, but worth it! The colofrul m&m's made the cake so FUN!! I modified the design of the slot machine to mimic our favorite Vegas machine! Again the black and red were purchased already-made from my local cake store! The slot machine (top layer) was a Wilton shape pan and was yellow. The bottom cake was a rectangle pan and was chocolate cake!

Baptism Cake

My sister-in-law wanted a cake for her son that had a shell on it to represent baptism. I found this shell at our local cake store. I am very happy with how this turned out, even though my roses need some serious practice! I always figure if they are grouped together with greenery they look good!! :-)

Garfield Cupcakes

I love making cupcakes!! For these, I printed off different pictures of Garfield off the internet on to photo paper, cut them out and taped them to toothpicks! My son loved them and I was thrilled with how cute they turned out!!

Garfield

I used the Wilton shape pan for this cake. I buy the red from my local cake store because I can never get it that red!

Hello Kitty

Made this one for my niece - I am pretty sure I got the idea from here!

Harry Potter Quidditch

This is one of my FAVORITE cakes I have ever made!! It's 1 1/2 layers and the decorations were from ebay.

Barbie

St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes

Flower Power Cake

Another one for "Bella"! Used the Scooby-Doo cake idea from the Wilton yearbook, but just didn't put Scooby on it!

Monkey Cake

I made this using the Animal Crackers pan from Wilton! The brown icing is chocolate buttercream!

Oscar The Grouch

Another fun one for my niece! I have so many - there are many cake decorating opportunities!

St. Louis Cardinals Cupcakes

Can you tell I love adding cupcakes?!?! They are too fun and easy!

St. Louis Cardinals

Used wafer paper to trace and color the logo!

Star Wars

Another view...

Star Wars

Used the figures from BK and just matched colors!! Another fast way to make a fun cake for my kids!

Cupcakes

Anyone else have the Wilton cupcake stand?? I love mine!
