Cookies to go with the "One Special Girl" birthday party pattern. NFSC and Antonia's icing and food writer pens.
This is the cake I did for my daughter's 2nd birthday. We had a Strawberry Shortcake Princess party and nearly every aspect of this cake was inspired from the invitation. 10, 8 and 6 inch layers covered in MMF. Tiara is a plastic tiara and ribbon is real ribbon. Garland swags, strawberries and pearls all MMF with the exception of the pearls on the middle layer that were purchased edible pearls. Swirls on top layer are royal icing. A lot of planning and work, but I was SO happy with this cake....
No Fail Sugar Cookies with Antonia's icing, fondant pearls and strawberries. Made for my daughter's second birthday to go with the Strawberry Shortcake Princess theme.
These were for my brother who is returning from Iraq!!!! Hooray!
From a Wilton design.....changed up the colors a bit. Buttercream icing with fondant accents. Made for my husband!
A cake for my friend's birthday. Buttercream (pink) with fondant accents (brown). First time doing the letters.....not sure if I did them right, but it looks pretty cute.
I made these for my son's 4th birthday to go with the dino cake. Each child had their own little volcano. I used the mini wonder mold for the volcanoes and fondant with red sugar crystals for the lava. Tip 233 grass and plastic dinos. I got the idea from Cinda's Creative Cakes.
Based on a Wilton design. Wonder mold body, mini ball head and carved cake for the tail and legs/feet (this is my first carving attempt....need some practice, but I liked it better than their idea of using marshmallows for the tail and just icing for the legs/feet). Fondant spots, facial features and toenails and buttercream icing for the rest. My four-year old was happy!
My first wedding cake on my own (with some leveling help from my sil). All buttercream with fondant pearls and real ribbon. Cake was alternating layers of french vanilla and chocolate. Florist arranged the flowers on the cake.
Buttercream with fondant flowers and fondant bodice. This was my first decorated doll cake and I was really pleased with it.
All buttercream decorated cupcakes with some pink/purple sugar sprinkled on top and some Barbie rings for toppers.

Cakes my sister and I did for my parent's anniversary. The pink cake is german chocolate and the brown cake is chocolate. Hershey kisses around the base (thanks to my sil for that idea). My first attempt at scroll work without a press. The small cakes are fondant covered and my sister used a stencil and pink sugar to make the adorable hearts on top. Lot of fun working with my lil sis!
I tried to make our logo, but no luck, it just wasn't clear enough. So.....since our fist day of Vacation Bible School dealt with the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000, I made fish cookies in the colors for VBS this week (pink, turquoise and brown). Then just some little letter cookies. FUN!
These were all fondant covered cakes that I let my children decorate with food writers. The top left was by my 5 year old son, top right my almost 4 year old son and the bottom by my 21 month old daughter who kept poking the marker thru the cake! Lots of fun and daddy loved them....a card you can eat!
Thanks jennycakes for the inspiration for this one. For my sister's 19th birthday (she loves rubber duckies). Duck cake was bc covered with fondant beak and eyes. Blue/green "pond" was a diabetic cake covered with the diabetic icing from this site (her boyfriend is diabetic). Then real rubber duckies for accents.
My first decorated cookies! Sent them to work with my husband (hence the Menninger at the bottom). Fun, but A LOT of work!
Made like the Spidey cakes (thanks lisa for the awesome directions).....wig form head with mask and garbage bag cape. Cake was chocolate and white (for the light and dark sides) with fondant on the front painted with silver luster dust. A big hit at the party!
Birthday cake for a 10 year old girl who loves flowers. Top two presents are dummies. All fondant and royal icing and some luster dusting and painting.
Here's the cake my sil and I worked on together. Marbled fondant with fondant and royal icing accents. A lot of fun and everyone enjoyed trying to find their face! Cake was dark chocolate fudge with dark chocolate ganache covering and filling under the fondant.
Whipped Cream Buttercream (from this site) and Fondant Flames.
Here is my 3rd Place winner from the Austin Cake Show (Yea!). MMF covered, MMF pearls and beads (lustered) and gold luster painted cornelli lace. A lot of work, but so worth it!
Dummy cake for portfolio
German chocolate cake with buttercream flavored with coconut and pecan! For DH's Go Texan Day at work!
Here is my New Year's cake I threw together at the last minute. I originally wanted the sparklers to be ON the cake, but when I did a test run on some fondant, there was ash all over! So, I made two small sugar molds to hold the sparklers off to the sides. Thanks to DH for constructing the clock hands!
Inspired by a Wilton design, I made this one for my husband's IT department. He thought it was funny and I got to try out my new mixer!
