Graduation 08
This cake was a 3 tiered stack of books and grad cap cake. The cap is white cake the middle book is lemon, and the bottom is marble all cover in buttercream. I had a hard time with the top of the hat...it was gumpaste that seemed to be completely dry until the drive to deliver it!! GRRR!! Anyways, the customers were happy with it and that's all that matters. I could sit here and pick out a million flaws in this one but, that's me...my own worst critic.

Bengals & Buckeyes!! An Ohioan's Cake
This is actually a grooms cake, that's not really the board it goes on I just used it to carry the cake. But, it could work just as well as a birthday cake. This is a strawberry cake and the logo's are FBCT's this cake had to be done in the middle of the week, and I have been having problems with my black icing bleeding lately...never before, just now....I bought new Hi ratio and think maybe somethings up with that, possibly. Anyway, hoping the cake still looks like this in the morning!

Black & White- Diamonds & Dots
These are cake dummies I made for a wedding this weekend. I am double booked soo, I recommended dummies so that I could give the cake more attention the week prior when I had no orders!! I think it turned out really nice. The real cake when it's set up at their reception will have a stryfoam spacer under the top tier for some red roses...this cake is inspired by A&S Cakes the cake is named Carly. http://www.ascakes.co.uk/wedding/carlybw.asp

Luau Birthday Cake
This was a double layer 1/2 sheet cake luau themed....pretty much copied exactly from Deana...I didn't come up with this design...she did!! I gave the customer the one palm tree that survived and the 2 surf boards so she could put them in the cake when she got it set up at the party!

Pink Polka Dots
This cake was an order I got at work.....from the ugly blue circle cake I made!! Butter Pecan cake w/ cream cheese frosting. I loved playing with my dot impression mat....although the cream cheese icing wasn't the most forgiving medium to work with. There is disco dust/sparkles all over the top too, the guy just said happy birthday Logan and pink and girly. This is what I came up with...I only had 1 day to get it done.

Blue Circles
Not really sure what look I was going for with this one...it was mainly just cause I wanted to make a cake for work!! But hey, even this sad looking cake got me an order. Although I think it was more because how good it tasted!! 8' round Butter Pecan cake with French meringue buttercream

Giant Cupcake
I made this cake for my cousin...she saw a picture of this cake in a cataloge and said that's what she wanted. It' just a vanilla cake with buttercream icing...I covered the bottom half in fondant to make it look like a cupcake liner...I thought it turned out okay. Why oh why does lavander always look blue in pictures??

Practice Dummy Take 2
I wanted to do more to my dummies so...I tried my hand at scroll work...the scrolls are in a dark purple color....this cake is really bright and cheery....the picture makes it look darker..I may try again to get a good picture of this cake. Before I rinse it all off and make something else...these dummies are a really neat thing...I am loving being able to practice and not be afraid to mess up a real cake/order.

St Patrick's Dat Cake
I just made this cake for fun...it's the first cake I have made in months and I needed to get my feet wet before I dive in...I have a TON of orders coming up...I think I forgot how to smooth buttercream...I won't even tell you all how long it took me to make this cake look somewhat smooth!! Grrr...I need more practice.

Playstation 3 Cake
This cake was for a guy who looooves to play his playstation 3. I made the cake with Satin Ice Black fondant, and I love the texture of that stuff...I used vegetable cooking oil spray to make it shiny. Sorry for the UGLY cake board.....the black fondant marked it up pretty bad!! I didn't have time to fix it!!
