Theatrical Gala
This cake was made for a fundraising gala - they paid less than half priewith the remaining donated by us. It was red velvet and cream cheese on the top, pumpkin and cream cheese in the middle and white orange sour cream with raspberry and buttercream on the bottom. It was a huge success. Plaques are edible image gumpaste plaques and theatre masks are also gumpaste. Thanks for looking!

Cake For My Uncle
It's my uncle's birthday and he is an avid soccer fan so I designed this cake for him. Our family is from Uruguay and so I incorporated the flag and also on the sides of the cake are the colors of Penarol - his favorite soccer team and their jerseys are these colors in vertical stripes. The cake itself is a white butter cake with dulce de leche filling!

Duck Baby Shower Cake
White Coconut Sour Cream Cake with a pineapple coconut filling and BC with fondant accents. Inspired by another CC member's cake. Originally I was only going to do one cake but then more people RSVPed so I added another tier - I don't like the proportions of the cake but I thought it turned out OK!

Blues Clues Second Birthday
I made this for my daughter's birthday party this weekend and you would not believe the disaster I had with it. I put the character cake on top of a petal pan cake and when I torted the petal pan cake I used floss like someone suggested on CC and it didn't work for me - it made a huge hole in the cake and then I had to try and re-torte it to try and make it more even and then I had to reconstruct all of the pieces. I did a crumb coat to glue the thing back together and then iced it - I think I saved it OK

Baby Boy Shower
Dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling iced in buttercream with fondant accents. Top layer was WASC with strawberry and buttercream filling and also iced in buttercream. Booties are molded from candy melts and pearlized with luster dust. Gumpaste bow and ribbon also pearlized! I was so excited by how it turned out - inspired by CC members!

Law School Graduation
This cake was fun to make - it was made for a law school graduation where the guy graduated from George Mason so I made a chocolate and WASC and torted and alternated the layers and filled it with ganache and raspberry buttercream. The stripes are the colors of the school and the mortar board was done with gumpaste and fondant.

Half Baby Shower Half Birthday
The challenge with this order was to create a cake that encompassed two themes. I think I did that! I did the two FBCTs and covered the cake in buttercream. The cake itself was a dark chocolate cake with chocolate bavarian cream filling. The customer was very pleased. This was a 14 inch petal pan cake!
