Proud Coach

Groom's cake for a high school basketball coach. Buttercream with some fondant accents; fondant covered cap and ring for the net; gumpaste whistle. I did RKT for the bottom 1/2 of the basketball so it'd be sturdier; it worked great! The bride was ecstatic about it!

Happy Halloween

Birthday for a 4 year old who likes scary things...it was a little too scary for me considering his age but it was a lot of fun to do! This is nothing like my usual work so that was cool! BC finish with 1/2 fondant/gumpaste zombie hands, gummy worms, purchased the skeleton.

Fresh Flowers

My tallest cake to-date with the separated tiers. The humidity did a number on my swags and they actually did slide down some on the bottom tier because of so much moisture. In the end though the bride was very happy-mission accomplished :)

On The Range

My first 3D animal!! Glad that's over! For a groom who works with cattle; these were a recreation of one of his own that just had her baby. Details included the face coloration, their ear tags, and brands on the right hips. Mama is RKT body, solid gumpaste over dowels for the calf.

Bridal Shower

Designed and made for my sister's bridal shower; I love having complete creative reign to try something different, so I did ruffles and used my lace molds again (love those things!).

Jeep Wrangler

Another 3D cake....have to admit I'm glad there's no automobiles on my books right now! This is my 4th though and my practice has paid off; this one looked way better than my first which was a jeep. Chocolate cake, fondant and gumpaste finish, rice krispie reat tires.

Ladybug Baby Shower

To match the nursery. BC with impression mat, fondant ribbon & bow, Chocolate crib from a mold (not that easy to do!), gumpaste blanket. It was tedious with piping on the ladybugs but I loved the end result.

Chocolate 80Th Birthday

Chocolate cake with Chcolate BC; I was nervous to do a whole cake with chocolate BC but it worked great and the client was extremely pleased. I used a stencil for the design; it worked great, so I'm definitely getting more stencils!

Black & White

Just about everyone's seen this cake design from David's Bridal making the rounds, so I got a turn at it too. Made a stencil for the scroll pattern so it'd go quicker.

Romantic Roses

BC with synthetic flowers; I liked the romantic feel of it, I'd only done the cascade thing with RI flowers till now. This was funner and easier!

Purple Roses

Had to learn swags cause I had two wedding cakes in one weekend with them on it. This was the second cake, and these swags came out much better than the first one. I mixed MMF/gumpaste which worked fantastically. Otherwise BC, synthetic flowers.

Loved doing this cake, finally getting the hang of freehand scrollwork so it dosn't take a day by itself! They wanted an antique feel to go with the celebrations theme. Fondant ribbon & flowers, gumpaste 50. This was the main cake to go with the 55 Chevy Bel Air I posted.
