This is a pink and white Polka Dot Baby Shower cake, the custome was very specific in what she wanted except for the the topper , so I just added the baby and the moon and stars. She was thriled with the cake. Only think is my moon broke in half during transport, we fixed it and she was happy.
Castle cake for a 5 yr. old birthday. Sour cream almond cake with buttercream frosting and decorations with some fondant ribbon roses. The little girl loved princesses and her father wanted to do something special for her.
Wasn't quite sure where to post this cake it was a bridal shower cake for an ornament shower. Sour cream almond cake with buttercream and gumpaste decorations.
This cake I only had 2 weeks notice for, it was relatively simple stacked 14",10"& 6" with 3 rows of silver ribbon around each layer with buttercream roses around each layer and topper. I made 125 buttercream roses but only used around 95, just wanted to have extras.
White almond sour cream cake with buttercream icing and decorations.
This was a 10 & 6 inch buttercream made for a small wedding reception for today. I didn't get a pic until they had already cut a slice out of it. The happy couple loved it
Birthday cake for a Nascar fan. White almond sour cream with buttercreme icing. Race cars are harder than the look to make. But I think the guy will get the general idea. I got the design from the gallery but I can't remember who. Want to thank all you CC'ers for posting cakes and for all the ideas I get from you.
This is a dummy cake that I made for an event called A Taste of Cullman. My caterer friend (I rent kitchen space from her) has a table there and she wanted a cake for decoration and asked me to do it for free advertising. It is covered in fondant with gumpaste bow. It took a lot of gold luster dust to cover that bow!! Learned to check my supply before starting a project.
This is a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream decorated in Auburn colors, I really thought it was going to be ugly but it did not turn out too bad (if you are an Auburn fan). I think God is punishing me for saying ugly things about Auburn this is the second Auburn cake I have done in the past week. There is only one thing I can say....Roll Tide!!!!
This is the first jewelry box cake I ever did and boy a learning experience. It was a chocolate cake with buttercream icing and fondant accents and fondant pearls. I think it would have looked better done entirely in fondant. It was made for a diva party a friend of mine (that has helped me sooooo much in my cake business) was having. She said they all enjoyed it.

Was asked to make an shower cake for some football fanatics. And of course it is a mixed marriage - Alabama/Auburn. The elephant and the tiger are made of fondant. You can't see it very well in this pic but the elephant had a top hat on.

Okay I know magnolias are not maroon but I did this dummy to match the decor that a caterer that I work with was doing her booth at the Taste of Home expo here in our town. Magnolias are gumpaste, gold dragess and maroon ribbon. First square cake I had ever covered in fondant. Quite a learning experience. Overall everybody was pleased with it
Birthday cake for a 1 yr. old. Smash cake will be a doll cake. This was my first castle and boy did I learn a lot!! You never learn anything unless you stretch yourself. (that's my theory anyway) I believe the grandmother will be pleased. She has a glass Cinderella coach with horses to go on the cobbleston road. She bought it to be the topper of Allyson's wedding cake. The grandmother does all sorts of sentimental things for her grandchildren. It is so cool.
Cake I did for a local church's King's Daughter Banquet. Buttercream, smoothed the Melvira way, with a fondant drape, fondant pearls and royal icing crown painted in gold luster dust. I learned to make more crowns than you need with this cake, because guaranteed something will happen and they break. I made 3, this is the 3rd one.

I did this cake for one of the guys at work. He was turning 40 and is a hunter. I did not want to do an overt the hill cake because he looks 12. The hunting guy is camo and has already shot a deer with 20 and 30 on it and is aiming at the deer with 40 on it.
This is my first drape cake. I what I could have done to make it better but hey you never know how to do one until you do it. It is a dummy I was practicing on. Gumpaste roses, with fondant cake and drape.
This is a cake I entered in the county fair and I just wanted to post it in my pics and again give credit to Cakes by Sam for the inspiration for this cake.
Complete pic of the one I just posted.
Here is a pic of a grim reaper I did for a guys 50th birthday. I forgot to put his sickle (sp?) in his had before I took the pic. Also forgot to take the toothpick out of his side that was holding his arm up until it dried.
Just a closer view of my dummy cake.
Did this dummy so I could have more than a wedding cake with calla lillies in my portfolio.
My daughter helps with the cakes and she said "No more calla lilly cakes for a while" This is the 2nd one in a row.
