2Nd Wedding Cake
This is my 2nd wedding cake. A lot less stressful than my first, but still very time consuming. I didn't have any disasters, but was kind of disappointed when I brought the cake to the hotel and saw that the color she gave me to match wasn't the color used on the tables or in the bridesmaid dresses. It made me feel like my cake stood out like a sore thumb. But wasn't my fault and of course everyone loved it. Chocolate with whipped chocolate filling, buttercream icing.

Fear Factor Ice Cream Cake
It was an order for a fear factor cake. 2 Ice cream layers with a raspberry filling. I put gummy eyeballs and body parts inside the ice cream, then froze while in cake pans. Cake board was too big for side by side, so had to put it in chest freezer. After all decorated, i noticed it was starting to droop. I put it in the chest freezer, but it still kept melting. BIG TIP: Make sure you have a freezer that freezes below 0 degrees F so icecream will be solid. Side by side did, chest didn't.

Betty Boop Birthday
Cake was for a girl who was getting her room completely done in Betty Boop. I delivered the cake on Tuesday, they had a family birthday party that evening and after the girl saw the cake, she told her mom she wanted to save the cake for Saturday when her friends would be there. That's how much she loved the cake. So they wrapped the box and froze the cake lol. Cake is devil's food and icing is cream cheese.

Cake For New Job
I made this cake because I received such a warm welcome from everyone at my new job. I also wanted to show of my skills since I needed to build up new clients :-) They all loved it and were amazed I could put our company logo on the cake. Icing was cream cheese, cake was red velvet.

A Very Merry Unbirthday
Every month we have a birthday potluck at work for everyone who has a birthday that month. August didn't have any birthdays or holidays, but everyone wanted to have a potluck anyway. I'm in charge of doing the cakes and it made me think of an UnBirthday cake. Topsy turvy came to mind. It was my first attempt and not the best, but everyone loved the uniqueness of it. I know the things I did wrong and will learn from it :-) Thanks for looking!

Over The Hill
Loved the way this cake turned out. The plan was to make it more like one I saw on here, but once I just put the light gray icing on, I thought it looked so realistic, I didn't want to add more borders etc. Didn't really want to put the oreos and worms on it, but that's what the customer wanted. Gives me ideas for Halloween :-) Cake is pineapple and whipped icing.

First Wedding Cake!
Finally got to do it, and finally got the picture of it! Was for my best friend's wedding on July 1st. Cake looked great until topper fell off and smudged it all the way down. I tried to fix it while I was there, but the picture showed the imperfections. So I airbrushed some of them out ;-)

Friend's Bridal Shower
I made this cake for my friend's surprise Bridal Shower. She was shocked about the shower and the cake. Everyone loved it and it turned out a lot better than I thought it would when I was making it lol. Strawberry cake with vanilla pudding filling and buttercream icing and mmf.

Work Birthday Cake
This was a birthday cake for the monthly birthday potluck at work. I wanted to practice stacking cakes for an upcoming wedding. It's a good thing I did. I had a mini disaster when I tried to decorate both tiers at once and on a tilted turntable. Don't ask me why I did that, but the top tier slid off and landed upside down onto the counter. Live and Learn.

April Baby Shower
This is where it all started. I told a friend I'd throw her a baby shower and make the cake because I was short on cash. Then before it came time to make this cake, I had 3 wedding cakes, a birthday cake, and a bridal shower cake all on my to-do list. When I get into something, I really get into it :-)

Mother's Day 2006
I made this cake for my mom, grandma, and aunt. They all love gardening. The butterflies are for my aunt who has no children of her own, but has always been like a second mother to me. The flowers are royal icing, the butterflies are printed on rice paper, and the rest is buttercream.

First Buttercream Transfer
I made brownies for a Birthday Potluck at work. I had just read about buttercream transfers and wanted to try a simple design out to practice for a Barney Birthday cake later. I let it freeze overnight, but some of it still stuck to the wax paper. I think my icing was too thin. I still liked the results though.
