Quarter Years Old
Birthday cake for my brother who turns 25 today. Decided to make him a cake in the likes of a quarter. 10 inch red velvet cake with cream cheese icing and marshmallow fondant to decorate. Used some gold luster dust to mimic the gold rim of a quarter and silver luster dust to make it shiny. It was a lot of fun to make.

Scary Jack O'latern
Wanted to try this cake since I saw quite a few version here on CC. The cake was a chocolate pumpkin spice baked in 2 bundts. Filled with a chocolate BC and all decorated with a brown sugar cinnamon swiss BC. Only the face features were done in fondant. The stem was made from an ice cream cone. This cake was a lot of fun to make!

Sister's 30Th Birthday
Made this for my sister's 30th. She's a fan of Hello Kitty. Didn't want to make a large cake since she was only out to visit for a short time with her boyfriend, so there wasn't that many people around to eat it. It's a coconut cake with coconut flavored French buttercream. Outlined a pic of hello kitty with black piping gel, transferred to cake and piped in the details to give it more dimension. Added sugar crystals to the sides of the cake.

Niece's Seal Birthday Cake
My niece from Iowa is visiting and her birthday was a couple of days ago. She requested a seal for a birthday cake. Never done one before, but I guess there's always a first for everything. I'm not too sure if I like it or not. I guess I'm on the fence on this one. Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and MMF. Used crushed cookie biscuits for the sand.

Hubby's Second Graduation Cake
This was the second graduation cake that I made for my husband. The first was the Hitchhiker's Guide themed one in my photos. I had to assemble this cake in Tucson in 104F heat. I was worried that it was going to melt since the DH wanted Frostin Pride. Luckily it held up pretty well. Cake was cinnamon with chocolate mousse filling (made from Pastry Pride mixed with instant chocolate pudding). Cap was an almond cake decorated with black fondant. Next to the cap is the hood that PhD's get at graduation

4Th Of July Star Cookies
My these sugar cookies for the 4th of July. Used Americolor to color the red and blue portions of the dough, then used my nesting star cookie cutters to cut them up. I had to firm up the cut out pieces in order to handle them and assemble them into the 3 colors. They took a little longer to do, but I really like the end result.

Lavender And Seashell Themed Wedding Shower
I was asked by a good friend to make some cupcakes and a small sweetheart cake for a bridal shower she was going to. The wedding had a lavender and seashell theme, so that's what we did for this project. The cupcakes and cake were marble cake with chocolate or vanilla buttercream. The seashells were molded from milk chocolate and dusted with a mix of silver luster dust and violet petal dust. The sweetheart cake has fondant pearls on the side and on top. The sand was made from homemade graham crackers.

2007 Confections On Parade Entry In San Diego
This was my entry to the San Diego Confections on Parade contest. This 4 tiered cake was based on a Carolina Herrera dress that was featured on the cover of the Winter Martha Stewart's Weddings. I didn't place this year, but I learned a lot about my competitors, so I guess I'll have to develop my skills for next year.

First Paid Cake
This was the first paid cake and many things seemed like they didn't want to go right for me while assembling it. Even my DH noticed and stayed clear of me! This was a request for a Captain America cake (the nickname for the birthday person). It was chocolate cake (Wacky Cocoa cake recipe) with raspberry filling and extra special buttercream to decorate. Did a FBCT for the shield and the R is suppose to represent the guy's real name, Ruben. I hope they liked it.
