A Cake For My Uncle In Colorado
So My Aunt asked me if I could make a cake for my Uncle for his birthday. He lives in Colorado, I live in Maine. I can't say no to family. This is currently being fed exed to Colorado wrapped in 24000 layers of plastic wrap and a ton of gell pacs and a cooler with a lot of prayers thrown in for good measure. The wrenches on the bottom are withe chocolate and the screws are gumpaste. It is covered in a candy clay/fondant mix and air brushed. Man I hope it makes it there in good shape.

My Son's Greek Mythology Class Project
This was done for my sons class project party. He was learning greek mythology. He wanted 12 of the gods and goddesses on mount olympus, but we settled for 5 since he was already late for for class by 4 hours. There is Zeus, Hera, Hades, Artemis, and Athena. I would have like to do more detail but I ran out of time. I kinda overbooked myself. I am out of practice.

Spring Sample Cake
I felt kinda out of practice so I made this cake as a sample cake for my first stateside client for our cake consultation. It is a deep chocolate fudge cake with a Hershey's Milk Chocolate BC covered in White chocolate fondant and candy clay flowers. It is not really my type of deco, but I gotta start expanding my horizons.

Lightning Mcqueen Carved Cake
This was made for a friend turning 4. Covered in Candy clay, wheels are covered oreos. It looked much better in person. It was funny to watch all the kids poke it just to prove it wasn't cake. It was driving the parents crazy though. They finally put it up high so no other kids could touch it. The mom said she couldn't bear to watch them cut into it, but that she asked for a second and third piece it was so good. I do love happy customers!

My Son's 2Nd Birthday Cake With Very Few Supplies
Mde this for my son's 2nd birthday. We are in the process of moving back to the U.S. from Italy so I have been limited on supplies and time so this is all I could crack out. He is in love with moons and stars. He really got a kick out of the cake. He always thinks the cakes I make are for him and he is always upset when they are not, so when I set this one in front of him he was SOOOOOO excited.

6 Inch Teddy Bear Cake
Made this for a client who's daughter really loves build a bear and reallly dislikes fondant. I am not good a t just buttercream cakes so this was a real challenge for me. The colors in the background are homemade hard candies to represent balloons. She loved the cake and that is the best payment.

Castle Cake
This was a cake that I donated to my son's Cub Scout Pack. The theme for the camp was fantasy so I sculpted an awesome dragon and a cub scout to sit next to him on a castle. The turrets are oreo cookies covered in fondant. Everything is edible. I wish I had a better pic of the dragon..he was soooo cute, he had iridescent scales that changed from teal to blue.

#2 Of 3 Cakes For This Weekend
This was a cake and cookies for a tournament my husband is going to. It is not my best work by a long shot, my husband had made me reallllly angry while I was decorating it so cncentration was not all there. I wanted to look kinda classy but still very vegasy at the same time. Did that make sense??? So the cookies are the colors of the chips they will be using. The cake is Deep Chocolate Fudge cake with Mocha BC and Espresso dark chocolate candy clay coating.

Surfer Girl Cake
This was a cake for a little girl turning two. Her room was decorated with the surfer girl line from Pottery Barn so I used that as inspiration for the bottom tier. The topper is a wave I made to look like a two from the side. Later I added a hand sculpted Dora and Backpack surfing on the back of the wave. Forgot to take a pic though. Maybe the customer will send one?
