Backyardigans Birthday

12" round double layer, orange flavor requested. Characters are choc. transfers. Easy cake to do for a last minute request. Lettering is off center, I have a BIG problem with writing on a cake.

Nightmare Cake

One of my teen grandaughters wanted this Nightmare Before Christmas theme as her 15th birthday cake. I did an edible image, the rest of the cake, borders and such was done as nightmarish (if thats a word) as I could as I went along. I didn't like the looks of this cake, but she did...go figure, the more messy the better she liked.

Baby Shower

Carriage pan cake on 12" round. I just wasn't in the mood for fondant accents, so did a quick cake using the shaped pan. Being a free cake I could do what I wanted/or actually what I did not want to do.

Grandson's Birthday

I did my best to make this look like Heinz Stadium, I was not thrilled with how it turned out though. Too many cakes to do in one day! Grandson was ok with it but I don't think he was over excited...LOL

Dil's Halloween Birthday Cake

This was one of 3 cakes I had to do in one day, this was the last one and did in very much of a hurry to get it to the party on time. It wasn't as detailed as I would have like it to been. The witch and moon kept falling over, the choc. pretzel fence was not in proportion and choc. was flaking off. A lot of problems with this cake, thank goodness the party was outside in very dim light.

50Th Birthday

Friend of dil requested a cake that had a fishing/camping theme. I was inspired by Sonoma's fisherman. Cabin is cake, the only thing not edible was the plastic rocking chair and the popsickle sticks that I piped icing on to look something like pine trees. 1/4 sheet with an 8" top layer.

Jen And Adam

I do not like to do wedding cakes!! I was asked to make a 2 tier cake, with royal blue and silver as the colors, bride supplied the topper, I wanted to do daisey bouquet, but she wanted the old fashioned topper. I erased the background of the picture as it had my kitchen door and a bottle of glue in the background, I forgot to take my camera when I delivered it, it would have been more pretty of a pic if it would have been taken at the venue.

Dragon Ball Z

Grandson requested a Dragon Ball Z BD cake, Had some problems with the airbrush splattering, and the edible images were sticking to the backing. Heat and humidity really affects frosting sheets. Z ball on top is yellow colored choc. molded in a 2 part plastic christmas ball.

Baby Shower

So many problems with this cake. the humidity was very high and had problems for the first time with frosting sheets and images just crumbling. The choc. cradle was just melting in my hand when attaching sides and head and foot.. I used the cappella flavor drops in the BC and was not happy with the taste. Took an hour just to find my viva towels. (I hide them from anyone using them for reg. paper towels) Just glad this one is over with.

This cake was for a backyard 4th of July party. I didn't get to take the picture until after it was delivered to my son's house, an unfortunately it was photographed on their washer, so sorry about the horrible background.

Father's Day

I included edible images of my dad & fil, who are deceased. I miss my dad more than words can say! As the greeting on the edible image says, my Dad gave me the greatest gift of all, he believed in me. Anyhow, frosting is messy, very hot and humid today and don't have A/c.

Hamburger Cake

For my son's Memorial Day Party. 12in. cake, big hit with everyone, I did not attend, but was told there wasn't a crumb left, they really liked the brownie patty (done with brownie and bc and smooshed together like you would a cake ball) they even like the mmf veggies!

Carla Wedding

Professinal decorators, you earn every cent you ask for when doing wedding cakes! I don't do wedding cake, I am not a decorator, long way to go and need practice with piping ect. The stress was extreme with this cake, not happy one bit with the decorating, intended something else and even though dam was piped, strawberry filling bulged making it look awful, center dowel made bulge bigger. Stress with driving with this thing, haha...never again!

Mother's Birthday

I had to carve this cake because the sides stuck in the pans, this whole cake was a pain in the rear from the start. Had to do a hurry up job because party was moved up to today instead of tomorrow. Cake pic explains what type of cake and what was used. I am really getting sick of the taste of cake!

Johns Birthday

My 30 yr. old son, (who is Down Syndrome) LOVES the Oldies Music, so I did a 50's theme for his B.D. I would have done some things different if I would have hd the time, I airbrushed the black squares, (new to AB and it splattered everywhere) The jukebox I should have dowled, it leans backwards. I probably would do a gumpaste, "booth" instead of cake. It was fun trying my new toys though. I love the edible images. colors came out great, (Epson) pic was hard to take cuz of so much light coming in.

Baby Shower Cake

My DIL asked me to do a cake for her sisters shower, I had a lot of fun molding the chocolate clay for the baby and bassinette and the other baby items. The only thing I really don't like as well is the "blanket" I used airbrush colors to paint the blocks, they were too vivid, I wanted softer, will know next time to either use luster dust or dilute the colors with vodka to get the more subtle look. Fairly pleased with how the cake turned out.

Sister's Gd

My sister asked me to make a birthday cake for her grandaughter, she supplied the Barbie edible image (I hope the frosting sheets that I have ordered are better quality than what my sis bought pre-packaged at the grocery store.) This is just one of 3 cakes I did this weekend, all pink and white...I am sick of pink.

Grand Daughter's Bd

Butter pecan cake, BC frosting, BC was way to soft, couldn't do the roses in BC so did fondant roses, with one backwards by mistake. Didn't have time to make a base for cake, so used a foil pan covered with tissue paper in like colors. New to decorating, does not compare with the professional cakes I have seen in here but I enjoy doing this for family. Grandkids are very forgiving of old grannies mistakes.

Twin Grandson's 3Rd. Bd.

Cruiser pan for car, fondant too pinkish, BC was too soft, rainy day humidity I suppose because I always use the same recipe. Choc. transfers for the "cars" on sides, should have done a choc. transfer for the rusteze logo, sloppy paint job instead, tried to make car more red with f.c. "paint" not so good. Please keep in mind I am very new to decorating.
