Gingerbread House

This was my first gingerbread house in Florida! And boy did the humidity wreak havoc on it! Things did not dry, gingerbread slumped, etc. Anyway, I did this for a coffee house event at our church. The "baked goods" in the window are made of gumpaste - the mini gingerbread houses are caramels with gum for the roof. This was a challenge, but fun!!!

Shrek Cake

This is a cake I made when I was still working on my borders :). The onions and sign are made of gumpaste so everything is edible but the figures :)

Half N Half Cake

This was for a lady who wanted half of the cake chocolate and half white - the adults wanted chocolate, but the kids wouldn't eat it, so they had to have vanilla - right down to the frosting! So I had to come up with a way to make half chocolate, half vanilla, and still have it come out looking pretty! It's buttercream with gumpaste roses. Thanks for looking!

Princess Castle

Just finished this one for a little girl who wanted a pink and purple castle cake . Buttercream with sugarpaste and royal icing accents. Towers are paper towel rolls with sugarpaste and ice cream cones with royal icing and sugar. I had to leave room on the tops for the Disney princesses she wants to put on the cake. I was very inspired by the castles on this site - thanks for all the great ideas!

Dummy Cake For Show

This was a dummy cake made with royal icing. The flowers are silk for durability, but would be made for a real cake with gumpaste.

Birthday

This was for a girl's 13th birthday. She was the daughter of a friend of my husbands - turns out she'd never had a birthday cake before! I almost cried. Anyway, this one was inspired by the Whimsical Bakehouse.

Jesse Toy Story Cake

My daughter wanted a Jesse from Toy Story 2 cake, so I came up with this. It is white cake with raspberry buttercream. Buttercream icing on outside patterned to match Jesse's clothes with chocolate boots. Jesse's face is also made of chocolate.

Gingerbread House

This is a gingerbread house I made a couple of years ago in Chicago. We have since moved to Tampa and I have found making gingerbread is very different here in this weather!

Baby Shower

Buttercream icing, gumpaste flowers, it's been so long I can't remember what flavors were inside! This cake design is from a Wilton yearbook.
