Our Gingerbread House

This was a science project for school. The kids helped make the gingerbread then wrote about the chemical reaction of baking soda and molasses. Then we had a great time decorating the house. I was amazed at how well it turned out with five kids 10 and under all working on it. And if that wasn't enough most of it was made with leftover Halloween candy!

Robby

This was for a friend's son's 5th birthday. I was made using inspiration from several cakes in the CC galleries. Thank you all so much for sharing your amazing talents! White and chocolate layers with BC filling and icing. White chocolate web topper and fondant building accents on side. The spiderman was a toy for the birthday boy.

Wanted to try Toba's fondant so I made this cake. I really liked the texture and working with this recipe was great but I still prefer the taste of MMF. Chocolate cake with BC covered in fondant with fondant accents.

Picnic Daisies

This was a labor day picnic cake. White and red velvet layers with almond BC filling and BC icing. Gumpaste diasies, and white chocolate butterflies,

This was a birthday cake for a dear friend, Againg the picture does the cake no justice especially with the shadows cast by the chocolate scrolls. Whiite cake, BC filling and iced with BC, milk chocolate swirls.

Made a dozen of these mini cakes to practice my decorating and piping skillsbut I only ended up with three because they kept disappearing, My kids and their friends thought maybe I misplaced them and I would surely find them, or maybe the dog ate them. Three layer white cake with BC filling, icing and decorations.

First Mini Cake

This is one of my first mini cakes. I made a dozen but they kept disappearing before I could decorate them, we have trolls here that do awful things when nobody's paying attention. White cake with buttercream filling, icing and decorations. Should have let the condensation dry brfore snapping the photo but as you can tell by the piping I'm still learning.

Melissa

Made this cake for my girlfriend Melissa's B-day. She's not crazy about very sweet cakes, this combo turned out perfectly. Six layer chocolate cake, cannoli cream filling with pistachio and candied fruit, covered in whipped cream, topped with fresh fruit and white chocolate decorations.

Resized_Cornelli.jpg

My first attempt at cornelli lace. I tried it first with white buttercream and green lace, but didn't like it very much. So I ended up scraping it off and doing it with the green icing and white lace. White chocolate flavored cake and icing.
