Birch Bark Butterflies Birds And Burlap
The request was for a birch bark wedding cake. the bride's theme included birds and burlap. So in keeping with the theme, I made a real burlap and roses wreath as the foundation. The wreath at the top is a gumpaste burlap and rose nest on which the ceramic bird couple figurine sits. Lots of roses, butterflies, and roses were used to complete the look.

Hearts To Hearts
I had promised to make this cake for a friend (based on a picture provided by the bride), and then ended up moving 5 hours away before their wedding. Unfortunately the air conditioning failed in my car and on delivery day it was a hazy hot and humid. The hearts started sliding down the cake as the cake picked up an unintentional shine. I had to quickly make repairs as best I could once I reached the venue. You cannot tell from the picture, but the glass is full of mini edible pearls. Also not viewable are the red sneakers on the groom. The groom and best man and ushers all wore red sneaks. It was sooo cute!

Mermaid And Pirate And Ship
Sooo much inspiration found from Debbie Brown and Cake Central. I loved the reaction of the receiver when I delivered this cake. The cake was ordered by the father of the 6 year birthday girl and a 1 year old son. The mother kept asking the father, "Are you sure this cake is going to be special?" As if to say, what could a male know about ordering a cake. When I delivered the cake, the mouth of both the father and mother dropped open. And mom got the biggest smile on her face. I consider this to be a great success story. Two tier cake covered in fondant. Decorations are fondant. Ship rails are chocolate Twizzlers.

No Lions, Yes Tigers And Zebras, No Bears. Oh My!!
The request was for a tiger and zebra birthday motif for a friend who I owed a favor. After a weekend where I had cranked out 6 cakes, number 7 desperately needed to be simple, easy and fast. Animal edible images. Sun, trees, and leaves are fondant. Grass is hand painted. It just so happened the tiger image chosen was the same one that was tattooed on the back of the receiver.

Baby Blocks Train Cake
The request was for a set of baby blocks with impact. I thought it would be fun to have them being pulled by a train. There was a moment that caused me to pause when the number of servings requested went from 80 to 60. I asked, do you want the cake to spell "BAB" or "BABY"? You can see the end result below.

Diaper Bag Blocks And Shoes
Diaper bag with baby blocks, shoes, blanket and pacifier. Bottom tier was a first for me - basically it was like a strawberry shortcake with a stabilized whipped cream filling and macerated strawberries in the middle. The "shortcake" was a whipped cream vanilla cake. It is one of my most requested combination, but it was the first time using the combination in a constructed cake. It worked!

Mother's Day Bird House
The request was music to my ears - A Mother's Day Cake for a church organization of 15 people, you can do whatever you want. I love it when I hear those words. Anyway, this is what I came up with. Cakes are 2 six inch multi tiers with a lemon curd cake (yum) and lemon filling covered in white chocolate couverture. Birds are 50:50 fondant and gumpaste.

Clarkson Here I Come
High School Graduation Cake. This one sat out for a few hours on a very warm day before a photo could be taken, therefore the "wilting books". Each item has special significance. Bottom book in high school colors w/logo, but denotes student will be a psych major. She bound for Clarkson so the top book has the 3-D Golden Knight on it. Nine red roses were given to each grad (all female school) etcâ¦

Now Playing 21
Designed for a young lady turning 21. Interests were acting, theatre, movies, art deco, and turning 21. BC covered in fondant. GP accents. I originally drew this design with rectangular door, and if I could change anything, thatâs what it would be. The top of the cake is a Styrofoam base. This cake looked simple on paper, but boy was it a lot of work. Fun, but a lot of work!

Wise Owl Graduation
This is my spin on a Debbie Brown inspired design. The request was to somehow personalize a last minute request for a graduation themed cake so that each graduate could have something individualized on the cake. I had created another graduation cake for this customer where I did figures of each of the member of the class â See âIâm outta hereâ in my photos. Did I mention this was a last minute cake?! So, I incorporated a star for each child in the design (I was going to write each name in RI and paint it go

Buttons And Booties
Mom-to-be wanted a Noah's Ark nursery. But when the party planner saw the cake with the baby booties and another with buttons, she wanted all three. This is the blended design result. Lots of inspiration came from CC. I did not realize until I was looking at my pictures that some of the buttons had shifted during travel. Oops!

Gotham City
Batman overlooks Gotham City. Cake (including focal building) is fondant covered bc. Decorations are gumpaste. Batman and cars were purchased (this was a major concession from someone who tries to make all of my decorations, but sometimes in the interest of saving both time and money, convenience wins out).
