Rustic Birds
Another bridal show display cake. I tried to incorporate 2 trends I am seeing a lot of lately: textured buttercream and birds/feathers/peacock theme. The toppers are 2 ceramic birds that I found for $2/each in Michael's craft store clearance. The size of the cake is 10', 8', 6' Thanks for looking!

Mini Cupcakes- Tower
This was an extra large cupcake tower of 250 minis for a local salon's holiday season kickoff cocktail party. They chose 3 different flavors- key lime with toasted coconut buttercream, white sour cream cake with caramel buttercream, and died & gone to heaven chocolate with mocha buttercream. Each different flavor is denoted with a different topper. Toppers included: silver fondant flowers with silver dragee accents, the salon logo, and sanding sugar "bling". A very fun event to do!

Gumpaste dark puple stock flowers cascading down front with dangling crystals from top tier.

Hawaiian Baby Shower
A couple with a great sense of humor- the story goes that they conceived their little bundle of joy on a Hawaiian vacay, so we came up with this theme of them enjoying the tropics of Hawaii with a stork delivering their pink bundle of joy. Such a very fun cake to do. Figures are hand modeled with fondant/tylose. Everything is edible except the paper umbrella. Thanks for looking!

Black Modern Scrollwork
14in, 12in, 10in and 8in rounds done in buttercream with modern scrollwork to match the wedding decor, Fresh red roses and topper provided by bride. This cake made me a nervous wreck...the hall was humid and it was sweating like no cake I've ever seen sweat before! I barely survived intact with my sanity, lol. The couple loved it however, so all's well that ends well :) Thanks for looking

Buttercream Ruffled Cake
This is a 10", 8", 7" and 6" styro dummy with buttercream ruffles. The separators are simple styro discs I purchased at the $$ store and wrapped with satin ribbon and rhinestone trim. I made this dummy for an upcoming expo because I am getting lots of brides wanting buttercream designs lately and I am trying to show them other fun techniques with buttercream (besides swiss dots and scrolls!) Thanks for looking!

Peacock 50Th Birthday
The theme for this party was "50 and fabulous" so we decided on a 3-tier topsy turvy with peacock feathers since the birthday girl raises peacocks. Shoe and purse are chocolate with gelatin bubbles cascading up the front. Gumpaste fantasy flower on the 2nd tier. Thanks for looking!

Antique rose pattern on second tier and flourishes on top tier are created using one of the new Wilton silicone molds. Everything airbrushed with super pearl. SUCH a fun cake to do!

Sleeping Baby
This cake was made for a Christmas in July "Happy Birthday Jesus" party for a church kids 'program. I love the design and will most likely use it in the future (with different colors, of course) for a baby shower cake design. This was a dummy and they served cupcakes. Thanks for looking!
