Sam's Lightening Mcqueen Birthday Cake
This by far has been the most challenging cake that I have made. 1/2 sheet cake, French Vanilla and Triple Chocolate marble cake, Toba Garrett's mocha icing with ganache for filling, black fondant squares for top of the cake to make the checkerboard. Car cake is Wilton's 3D car pan, French Vanilla, no filling, covered in fondant, candy melts for tires. Learned alot of what NOT to do with this cake. Everyone loved it, especially the taste. Sam was grinning from ear to ear!

Fall Birthday Cake
Last minute cake for DIL's aunt, found out at 9:30PM last night! Luckily I had some left over caramel I made last week with sweetened condensed milk boiled in the can. French Vanilla cake torted, cinnamon caramel BC filling and icing. Silk Fall colored leaves slipped under cake before piping the bottom border. Thanks for looking!

Death By Chocolate
Birthday cake for my daughter-in-law. Tried some new recipes thanks to my new Toba Garrett books, "Professional Cake Decorating" and "The Well-Decorated Cake". Triple chocolate chip cake with Toba's chocolate buttercream icing with ganache. Used a Kaluha sugar free syrup (coffee flavor) rather than the chocolate liqueur she calls for in her recipe. Wish I could fill my bathtub with this stuff...if you are a chocolate lover, you gotta try it! Thanks for looking

Teyah'2 2Nd Birthday - Pooh
I made this cake for GG 2nd b'day, all buttercream and I made Pooh cookies as well, no-fail sugar cookies and Antonia's icing (in the cookie gallery). I think it was 50/50 in popularity as the cookies went really fast as well. Yellow cake with dulce de leche filling and smash cake is white with raspberry filling. Thanks for looking!

Dr. Patel's B'day Cake
Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing, fresh strawberry and whipped cream filling, 6" and 12" hexagon pans, tuxedo strawberries using Wilton candy melts. I surprised my surgeon with a cake for his birthday and as I was walking away I saw the other doctors and nurses gathered around waiting for their piece of cake. As I went around the corner, I caught a glimpse of my surgeon reaching for the top strawberry and all I heard was,"MMMMMMMMMM"!

Sheen Estevez B'day Cake
This was my son's 25th birthday cake, he is a big fan of Sheen Estevez (of Jimmy Neutron). The cake is yellow butter cake with strawberries and whipped cream filling, chocolate buttercream icing. I finished it off by dipping mongo strawberries in melted Wilton candy (1/2 dk. cocoa, 1/2 lt. cocoa and 1/2 cup of whipping cream), let them cool in the fridge and then zigzagged melted white candy across the top of the chocolate. Everybody dove for the cake and was enjoyed by all. Thanks for looking.
