All-Star Baby

I had no idea when I started this cake what it was going to look like. Well, I'd already done the shoes, but besides that.....the shoes were made using the template from stellastarchild. They were fun! It was for a dual shower, one baby girl and one baby unknown.

Designed to match the invitation. Had to bust this one out the morning of the event to which I was attending. Finished with 45 minutes to shower and get there. Made it with 10 minutes to spear. Shew!

For the son of a co-worker. She won a certificate towards a free cake at a fundraiser I dontated to. for advertising. Since she already knew of my business I told her she had to pass out my cards at her party. She was so excited about this cake that she was thrilled to pass out cards. Its so fun to see how excited people get over their cakes.

Hat Box

Hat Box

I made this one for my daughter's birthday. It was designed to match the invitations and plates and such. Those minis are sheer torture! The cake itself was fun, though.

Karyn's Wedding Cake

Karyn's Wedding Cake

Well, I thought I'd give the off set squares a shot, but I think I would have liked it better straight on. I was pretty pleased with the way this cake came out. The roses that the bride wanted as the topper were actually not my favorite part of the cake.

Heather's Hello Kitty

Heather's Hello Kitty

Another request for this cake, just smaller. I was a little bummed that when I colored my gumpaste for bows and swags that even though it looked like a nice contrast in color, onece it was applied the color looked almost exactly the same as the color of the cake. Oh well...

Mitchell's Pokemon Cake

Mitchell's Pokemon Cake

When my cousin sent me the picture of the figure her son wanted I was not too excited. This little guy was not so easy. The kids liked it, though, and that's what it's all about.

Karyn's Wedding Shower

Karyn's Wedding Shower

This was for my SIL's sister's wedding shower. I'll be doing the wedding cake, too. It'll be my first, but is actually only a cake for 40ish because the "reception" is just close friends and family at a restaurant after the ceremony. I guess it'll be a low stress transition into the world of wedding cakes.

For Ricky

For Ricky

Inspired by the incredible cupcakistry of o'holysweet! on flickr.com. I hate the night time photography. Special Education teacher by day, cake artist by night. Probably won't even get a chance to snap a daylight pic 'cause I leave for and return from work in the dark! Gotta love winter. If only I could quit my day job!

Fish

Fish

Same customer that asked for the gift cake also wanted me to throw in a small fish for her brother. She went nuts over this one. It was lots of fun to do, and not hard at all. Thanks to Godiva and others for their terrific inspirational cakes.

Mackenzie's Gift

Mackenzie's Gift

As much as I don't like repeating myself cake-wise, it is always so nice to do a cake and have a solid grasp of what you're doing before you begin. This customer loved the "gift" cake I did a couple of weeks ago for a coworker, so she talked her daughter into one for her birhtday, too.

Josh's Run

Josh's Run

This was so easy to make! No smoothing of icing! No worries about getting the fondant on just right. The only one stupid thing I did was slant my slope the wrong way so that my little guy's back would be facing the front if I placed him where I intended. Oh, well. So he goes at the top.

Birthday Present

Birthday Present

I'm pretty excited about this one. My first bow, re-did it about 5 times before I was satisfied. The customer just asked for a present and I had free reign on design.
