A single layer 9" hex cake, iced in buttercream. Figure has a mini WonderMold (doll skirt cupcake) dress with doll pick torso covered in fondant and buttercream accents. Flowers are a mix of gp, royal and air-dried b'cream. Stars and tiny hearts are sugar molded. This was actually made for a lady's birthday on July 5th.
I put this in the anniversary category as it was made for a church's anniversary. It would make a sweet wedding cake for early spring! Could also be a sweet, feminine b'day creation. The tiers are 14, 10, 6 -topped w/a 1/2 ball, and two 8"ers - all iced in buttercream. Violets are air-dried b'cream. The white things on the sides are tiny grape clusters - royal icing similar to lace points - which was a mistake as they were hard:( Butterflies are royal filigree that were painted w/gold highliter dust. The over-the-fountain display has lots of asparagus fern and some cupids.
The 6, 9, 12" rounds are displayed on Bakery Craft's SUS (single use stand). It's a styro (plates) & cardboard (tubes) creation that I have used a # of times before it got dinged up too much. Once on site the stand is covered w/a nice cloth before the tiers are placed. In this case the customer insisted on picking up the cake so this pic was snapped at home. It's all buttercream....roses are air dried.
For a monthly b'day celebration at the office I created this sheet w/ladybugs. 12x16x2 sheet; flowers are a real mix - some fondant, b'cream, and royal :) Ladybugs are mini 1/2 egg cupcakes.......all icing is b'cream
Put some humor in that grad cake:) 12x16x2" sheet iced in buttercream; chocolate molded mini grad hats; owl is a candle; If I can remember it says: "I are a wayce gradjvete and I no plnte'. - any misspellings would work just fine :)
12x16x2 sheet, iced in buttercream. Diploma scroll is wafer paper airbrushed w/b'cream writing. Head is molded chocolate; b'cream roses.
Another all chocolate offering selected in that UNadorned phase of wedding cakes. All buttercream.
I created this design based on a couple I found in a book by Burbidge(?) many yrs ago. Wish I could remember the exact name of the author to give proper credit. She put out only 1 book that I know of and made all her flowers out of royal. I entered it in a county fair - the so called judges refused to believe the fans were not plastic! :( The tiers are b'cream as is all the border piping. The fans are royal; topped w/tiny clusters of grapes.
A 16 sq x2" base with an 8" sq on top. The darker pink is colorflow. Roses are air-dried buttercream.
All buttercream - icing and flowers. 12.8.6" tiers.
14, 8 and 6: rounds are iced in buttercream. Air-dried b'cream roses; swags, strings and silver (foil) leaves for a 25th anniversary.
The stand was specially made by the bride's father. It was given to the caterer to take to the venue - about 40 miles. They forgot it! I had to wait several hours for them to send someone to get it :( Each tier is 12x4 round; iced in buttercream. Flowers are air-dried buttercream.
1/4 sheet (12x8x2) sheet cake iced in buttercream. Decorations are fondant - bow loops; molded flowers and (color flow) b'fly. Borders are shells from tip 70 (a leaf tip).
Made for a women's club luncheon celebrating the wedding season. The tiers are 15" petal; 12" round; 9" petal; 6" round and a mini petal blossom cupcake (bride's dress skirt). Bride's bodice, neck & head are marshmallows so she is totally edible:) All iced & decorated in buttercream. Cornelli lace, fondant daisies and fresh flowers. That stand was a real pain.....glad it's no longer available:) The little 'knobs' that fit into holes in the plates break off then the swan 'pillars' are no good. Always having to get new ones:(
4 tiered wedding cake all buttercream. Swags & bottom borders zigzags piped with tip 104; Air-dried buttercream roses also from 104. The two center tiers are combed. Delivery of this was fun - NOT! Hit a huge bump that caused the 2 bottom tiers (already stacked) to separate :( Had to go home and fix it - getting back & it set up just in time.
14, & 10" rounds & a 6" sq on the fountain set-up with three 6" tiers on the table. All iced & decorated with buttercream. Decorations are piped swags, (plastic) bells, and air-dried b'cream roses. Steeple is part of an older Wilton Chapel foam-core-board set.
10x4" sq topped with a 6x3" round; iced in chocolate buttercream. Swiss dots and crescents for borders it makes a nice groom's cake.
Maybe I missed it but couldn't find a category for baptism, christening or religious themed cakes so I put it here. A 12x16x2 sheet; buttercream iced; A picture of the baby is wrapped in plastic wrap before being placed on the cake. All piping is buttercream
10 - Yes! I said 10 tiers! Main section consists of 16, 12, 8, 6" tiers flanked by 2 each 10" & 12"ers. The last 2 tiers are 6"x3" hearts (for the parents). 3 sets of stairs and a fountain All this was spread out over two 6' tables. Lots of leatherleaf fern and some baby's breath along w/a bit of dark green ribbon bows and a couple of plastic bells.......uuummmmmm I think that's all :) This was transported about 35 miles - each separately. Set up took about 1 hour. All buttercream icing. Decorations consists of swags, heart filled w/lattice and shell borders.
This shower cake is made up of two 9" single layer heart cakes set side-by-side on a 1/2 sheet board. All decorating is done in buttercream except for the plastic bells and dove. Would also make a good choice for a lady's birthday or other feminine celebration.
Two 10" puffed hearts side-by-side iced in white buttercream. Flowers are air-dried b'cream and fondant. Name and '21' are molded candy melts. Could be used for shower; anniversary or other feminine celebration.

The coach of this team ordered many cakes from me for various sports. He usually wanted individual cakes for each kid w/a small one for the management staff - almost always with the team sponsor featured. Wilton's mini 1/2-ball pan is used for the baseballs & soccer balls with each kid's name on it - all in buttercream. Usually I had to use a full sheet board & box to accommodate all the cupcakes. Sometime later the coach's wife told me one time while carrying the box onto the field he tripped and dropped the whole thing :(
If you can make roses you can create this simple, easy to do, 12x18x2 sheet cake for any birthday or shower. Inspiration is from Winbeckler's book of flowers. All buttercream, including the roses. A few leaves and some lily-of-the-valley stems complete the design. The board is covered with a plastic tablecloth.
A 12x2 square is iced in buttercream. Flowers are gumpaste. Plastic grad hat. Board is covered in freezer paper.
Inspiration for this cake birthday came from one of Mary Ford's books. It took several years before someone w/the right name came along so I could make this design :) The "R" is formed from an 8" round and 8" sq. It is iced in chocolate buttercream; daisies are RI. A 12" sq board is covered in foil then flooded with ColorFlo before placing the cake on.
