Jeep Wrangler "mudder" For 40Th Birthday

This Jeep Wrangler (rear view) was made for a man who is a "mudder"...his wife wanted the whole cake to look like it was muddy and out in the country...half of the cake is chocolate on chocolate...a lot of chocolate! The other half was WASC with chocolate filling. It was all eaten that night...the car was made of cereal treats and covered in my homemade marshmallow fondant.

University Of Ky Basketball Cake

This WASC round basketball cake had strawberry buttercream filling with buttercream icing. I used rice paper for the logo. The basket below it was butter pecan with pecan buttercream filling. This was made for a woman who "bleeds blue" (many in Kentucky claim that they do) on her 60th birthday. She is such an UK fan!

American Saddlebred Horse Cake

This is the logo for the American Saddlebred Horse Association. The young girl was turning 9, but had recently earned the World Championship at the old age of 8. She was to perform for the first time with her new horse at a show in Lexington, KY, and her loving mother made sure that Payton had a birthday cake, too. They drove it in their truck up to the horse track in Lexington. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream sitting in a modified box to handle the vibrations of the huge diesel truck in which they were riding to the show.

The Bachelorette Bustier Cake

This cake was ordered by a Sunday School teacher at my church who was hosting a bridal shower with the ladies from our church and they wanted a bustier cake. It had to be in "good taste", due to their order, and I think the pink and white color combination made it come out looking great! They absolutely loved it (it was more "Victoria Secret" instead of "Fredericks of Hollywood"), and thought it tasted even better than it looked! It was white almond cake with Strawberry Butter Cream Filling and iced in butter cream.

A Beautiful Chocolate/chocolate With Heath Bar Cake

Handmade fondant yellow roses top this two layer chocolate cake with chocolate filling/Heath Bar Bits in the middle. This was the hit of the party, even though it was the "2nd" cake on the side for those who did not want white cake... everyone ate this one first!

Monkey Cake

This 3 tiered cake was for my granddaughter's first birthday... it traveled fairly well to its destination with just a few minor flaws...the monkeys are fondant, as is the banner with her name on it., and the decorations. It was covered in butter cream , but the second layer (blue) was a different butter cream (I call it Crisco cream) because my daughter likes the Crisco icing better than the butter cream... a compromise to keep everyone happy. It did not travel as well as the butter creamed tiers did... Oh, well! Live and Learn!

White And Dark Chocolate Chess Board Cake

This cake was made out of white and dark chocolate for my son-in-law's birthday. He is a chess player and thoroughly loved the chocolate cake under the squares. The chess pieces were molded out of chocolate and took so much time to make, but it was a labor of love. The base is chocolate butter cream.

Flip Flop Birthday Cake On Brown Sugar Sand

These two flip flop cakes were white cake with strawberry butter cream (my recipe is on the CC Recipe site for the Strawberry Butter Cream) for my special daughter-in-law. The neon pink, yellow, orange, and white stripes are made of MMF, as is the hand cut daisy I placed on each shoe. I used brown sugar for sand, as I did not have any pecan sandies (cookies) on hand. It was a great cake to give with a trip to the spa for a pedicure as her gift. Fun to make!

This Sweet 16 Birthday Cake was made of half white (the base of the cake) and half chocolate (the stairs) cake with butter cream icing. The red carpet is strawberry fruit roll-up. The black butter cream covered film canister was the cardboard holder of the black ribbon used as the film "backing" . I placed all of her pictures since she was in kindergarten in the film holder I found at a craft store. Hand prints were made by hand buttons I had in the white icing at the base of the stairs.

Pink Chocolate Buttercream Monkey Girl For Baby Shower

This cake was made for my daughter-in-law's baby shower. She collects monkeys and wanted a monkey cake for her new baby. The monkey is made of Rice K_ cereal. Originally it was covered in MMF fondant, but it would not hold (rainy weather, etc.), so I made the best of a bad situation and "butter creamed" the monkey. The girl monkey sat upon a chocolate raspberry cake with chocolate butter cream filing. She was surrounded by a pink boa and tulle. What a fun cake to make!

This baby shower cake was a 12 inch double layered white cake with strawberry butter cream filling (I used my recipe for Strawberry Butter Cream posted on the CC Recipe Section). The gift box is fondant with a baby "gift" trying to pop out of it. The daisies are MMF fondant and I made the font for the name out of fondant.

The cake under the butter cream is chocolate with the layers separated with raspberry butter cream (I used my strawberry butter cream recipe that is listed on the CC Recipes and substituted the raspberry seedless jam) with a layer of raspberry jam on each side. Bubble tea straws were used to stack the layers.

Golf Ball In The Rough

Cake was made for one of my senior girls in my Sunday School class turning 18 last Sunday. She is on the golf team at one of our local high schools and loves anything to do with golf! The ball part is on a small hexagonal shaped cake. I made the grass like a rough would be so she would "recognize" it! The filling was my strawberry butter cream recipe which is on the recipe part of CC. Dimples were made with a Sharpie laundry pen. Placed on plate for convenience of carrying home leftovers after church

Baby In Tub With Towel, Soap, And Wash Cloth

This cake was made for a young woman and after I got the picture back, I realized that I had hit the front of the cake with my apron when I was putting the towel, wash cloth, and soap on it. They, plus the baby head, are made of fondant with Fixodent, but the rubber duckies are the real rubber duckies. Later, just before the party, I put white cookie frosting on the baby's eyes and it brightened them up!

Batman Cupcake Cake

This Batman cake is made entirely of cupcakes to aid the mother in serving,as she was at a location where it was not handy to cut cake, especially around 4 year olds! I used the Magnolia Bakery recipe for vanilla cupcakes; squirted white chocolate mousse into each cupcake that was vanilla. Part of the cupcakes consisted of chocolate cake, also a Magnolia Bakery recipe, which I filled with chocolate chips prior to baking. The best cake(s) ever! "Big kids" and the little ones fought over seconds!
