Trisha

This cake was inspired by alot of cakes here. The colors were a light/sage green and chocolate brown. The topper is actually a wooden letter covered in matching fondant. This cake was funa dn I was happy to add to my portfolio!

Tangerine

This cake is originally from a clipping given to me years ago. The colors and flowers were changed for this bride. It was originally to be buttercream with fondant ribbon, but 2 days before the weather report was calling for a heat index of 105 and the reception was outside! Needless to say Iswitched to fondant. I really loved this cake! The icing is Fondx. I love that stuff.

Police Badge

Grooms cake

Italia

This was for the groom. His family is from Italy and they all love soccer. So we substitued The two Italina islands for the Worl Cup Soccer ball and their team patch. Then positioned it so it looked like the "boot" was kicking the ball.

Chocolate Lover

This cake was loosely based on the Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra cake, but by the time the bride changed the details, it was quite different. The cake was devil's food with chocolate cream filling and chocolate buttercream icing. There's a story behind the flowers that the florist really tried to gouge the bride. She wanted $700 to do all red roses for the cake! That was more than the cost of the cake itself! I know they didn't pay that much for the flowers although I don't know the final total.

Blue Swags

This was my second attempt at fondant swags and I was a little anxious. I was happy how they turned out. I put them on the tiers before leaving the kitchen and then stacked the cakes on site and added the fibbon roses. I was a big fan of the color choices of the bride, it felt a little baby shower, but it worked with her reception site.

Peonies

This was inspired from the cover of one of the bridal mags. To be honest the bride called me afterwards and said that she was disappointed and that the cake looked sloppy! I am my own worst critic and not even I would say that my work was sloppy! The fondant ribbon was not perfect and I admit that, but I think to say sloppy is harsh. I display the cake proudly in my cake and get compliments on it, so there.

Gold Heart

This cake was actually for my mom on mother's day. She always complains that I never make them fancy cakes, they just get leftovers (it's true). So I made her this one. We both agreed it'd great for valentine's day too.

Fall Flowers

This cake was Wilton inspired, just a change in color and some of the flowers. The flowers are royal icing. I loved the fall colors the bride chose.

Robot

This was for the groom at the rehersal dinner. It was my first 3-D cake so it took alot longer than the next one will.

Blue Tongues

Based on a swatch that the bride gave me. I loved it, but it was pur blue icing, so I'm sure the guests went home with colored mouths!

Spring Wedding

Love Cupcakes

This was for a woman and her partner. They wanted something different and that would honor her heritage. It is the chinese symbol for love. The top tier had additional symbols along each side as well.

Monogram

Centerpieces

These were the brides centerpieces as well as desserts. I was very happy how they turned out even though I was cursing the entire time making them.

Picture Perfect

This was for a photographer in the area. She and her now husband did alot of traveling. The top pic is of him proposing.

Wrestling Belt

This was for a grooms cake. I'm not quite sure where they put it at the wedding as it was pretty big.

1St Birthday

The classic picture cake.

Tropical Wedding

This cake was derived from a design given to the bride from a famous bakery in the area. We did some changes to the original design and charged about half. It was fun to make the trees and not have to fuss with smoothing the icing!

On Top Of The World

This was my little sister's college graduation cake. Sorry that the pic quality is not so great.

Autumn Fruit

For a Bride in Washington DC. The color changed in the picture it was more of a peachy/orange color. Seasonl; sugared fruit and nuts are scattered around the cake as well.

Chocoholic

This cake smelled delicious as soon as you walked throught the door! Their grooms cake was a giant chocolate chip cookie with the same swirl designa s the cake and they did chocolate cihp cookies as favors also. My mouth was watering the whole time!

Pink And Orange Gift

For another surprise party. Not one of my best, but the birthday girl loved it. I liked the colors that they went with.

Spooky Bday

This was for a surprise birthday party. Inspired by a similar cake from Wilton.
