16Th Birthday Party Cake
I made this cake this weekend for a young woman's 16th birthday. The bottom tier was a chocolate cake, the middle tier a french vanilla cake, and the top tier was a lemon cake. The icing over the whole cake was buttercream. The stipes, polka dots, and the twisted ropes at the bottom of the top and middle tiers were made from fondant. The bow on the top of the cake was made from red ribbon, and a few red silk daisies adored the top and sides of the cake.

Cascading Roses And Hydrangeas
This cake was made for a wedding on Saturday, March 8th, 2008. The cake was french vanilla with blueberry filling and vanilla buttercream icing. The outside of the cake was decorated with a scrollwork on the sides and a thin line of ribbon which had a border of green pearls at the base of each ribbon. The topper of the cake was custom made with three white roses surrounded by green and blue hydrangeas and pieces of ivy. The entire cake had a cascade of white roses, green and blue hydrangeas, and ivy.

Sweet 16 Birthday Party Cake
I made this cake for a young woman's sweet 16 birthday party. Her only request was that the cake have the colors blue, pink, and green and that it incorporated polka dots, stripes, and swirls. The bottom tier was chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream icing, the middle tier was french vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filing and icing, and the top tier was french vanilla cake with blueberry filling and vanilla buttercream icing. The polka dots and stripes were made from fondant.

Dia De Los Muertas Cake Topper
This is an up close shot of the cake topper that adorned the previously posted coconut cak with lemon curd filling. The bride is a good friend of mine and is sort of quirky, so I bought this little figurine on a whim and decided to give it to her as a wedding present, and she loved it so much she decided it HAD to go on the top of the wedding cake!

Brown Bear Baby Shower
I made this cake for a friend at work to take for a baby shower for her cousin. French vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and raspberry filling. Bear was made of pound cake. I made this cake in a hurry, so it's not as great looking as I would have liked it to be. Please excuse my horrible kitchen mess in the background!

Hawaiian Themed Birthday Cake
I made this cake for my brother-in-law's birthday. It was a Hawaiian themed party, so I thought I would do the same thing with the cake. I decorated it with fondant figurines, and made a little thatch-roofed hut to go on the top. The "sand" is crushed graham crackers. I believe this was a "funfetti" cake with vanilla buttercream icing.

My First Wedding Cake
This is the fist wedding cake I ever made. It was for a friend of my family. It is a vanilla cake with alternating tiers of strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream filling. The outsides of the cakes were covered with vanilla buttercream and real daisies were placed all around. This ENTIRE cake was eaten at the reception, even the top tier!

Coconut Wedding Cake With Lemon Curd Filling
This cake was for a friend's wedding in another state. I made all of the cakes, fillings, and icings ahead at home and drove the 5 hours to where the wedding was located. It is a coconut flavored cake with lemon curd filling and coconut flavored buttercream. The outside of the cake is covered in toasted coconut flakes, it was delicious! The tiny people on the top of the cake were a decoration for Dia de los Muertos, the Mexican day of the dead. They are a skeleton bride and groom.

White Chocolate Shards With White Chocolate Covered Strawberries
I made this cake for a friend's birthday party. I was feeling like being creatively funky, so the cake was a yellow cake with vanilla buttercream. I melted white chocolate and spread it on a cookie sheet to dry, then broke off pieces to cover the outsie of the cake and cover the top. Then I dipped fresh strawberries in milk chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate and placed them on the top and the sides.
