Flowers & Grapes

This was the first time my sister and I attempted a 2 layer cake using real flowers. Featured yellow cake with apricot filling, buttercream icing and a hazelnut band around the bottom. The end result tasted like pineapple upside down cake. Flowers were mostly spider mums and daisy stuck in the cake with Wilton floral picks.

Children's Dog Birthday Cake

This was for my friend's daughter, who turned four and LOVES "doggies." Yellow cake with buttercream frosting. I built the snout up by using layers of stars. Unfortunately, I heard the snout didn't make it to the birthday party...Miss Bailey scooped it out and ate it when her mother wasn't looking!

Mauve And Green Holiday Wreath

I had very specific instructions to bring a red and green Christmas cake to a holiday get-together last year...but I was all out of red, so I improvised! I like how the colors turned out - and the requestor must have too, because they didn't even mention the lack of red. Yellow cake, buttercream frosting, "snowy" edible glitter.

1St Birthday Butterflies

This was for my niece's first birthday - white cake with strawberry filling and buttercream icing. I used a piece of clipart as a guide for the butterflies, and added a vine and drop flowers around the sides of the large cake.

Monkey Face Birthday Cake

This is a cake I made for a 10 year old girl's birthday. Cake was chocolate, iced with chocolate buttercream and tinted white buttercream. I started with a 12 in. round for the head, then split an 8 in. round for the ears.
