Baseball Themed Baby Shower Cake
I made this cake for a friend's baby shower. Half of the cake is rich yellow butter cake filled with vanilla mousse with chopped up reese's peanut butter cups (the mom-to-be's favorite candy). The other half is a tasty buttermilk devils food cake with cookies and cream filling. Frosted with whipped cream butter cream and brown sugar for the dirt. The baby is a FBCT and the sides are decorated with NF sugar cookies iced with royal icing and glace.

Halloween Cookies
These are a little late, but I figured I would post them anyway. These are Halloween NFSC and chocolate sugar cookies with royal and glace icing. I made about 100 cookies for work and daycare. It took me three days to bake and decorate them. My favs are the pumpkins and frankenstein.

I made this for a friend's birthday. She loves banana cake! This is an eight inch, two layer moist banana cake filled with homemade caramel filling, frosted with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting. I decorated the sides with toasted walnuts. The sunflower is candy melts accented with the cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Simple, but really delicious.

Lemon-Scented White Sponge Cake With Milk Chocolate Ganache
This is one of two birthday cakes I made for friends this past weekend. This is a two-layer white sponge cake with lemon zest, filled and frosted with a whipped milk chocolate ganache flavoured with lemon zest. I reserved some ganache before I whipped it so I could pour it over the frosted cake to give it a shiny glaze. I decorated the cake with lemon buttercream and a lily made out of strawberry starburst.

Crumb-coated with caramel and then frosted with dark chocolate caramel buttercream. I decorated it with tootsie roll roses, purple-tinted vanilla buttercream, double-chocolate pirouline cookies, and purple ribbons.

Book Cake Made For A Co-Worker's Wife
This was a tough one. My co-worker's wife got her first job as a librarian and he asked me to make a book cake for her, but did not want fondant (can't say I blame him). So I made the cover out of chocolate graham cracker sandwiched with chocolate syrup buttercream that were covered with ganache. Not the sleekist design, but they loved it. Cake is dark chocolate torted with ganache. The inscription is something he came up with (they call each other "snapper").

Baby Shower - Duck Family
This is a cake I made for my co-worker. This is a 1/2 sheet with half dark chocolate and french vanilla cakes, torted with dark chocolate mousse and white chocolate mousse, respectively. Decorated with my mom's old all-butter buttercream frosting recipe. The duck family are just an assortment of rubber ducks I bought to represent the family. It was a big hit and fun to make.
