Bee Hive Cake

This was my first carved cake made for a colleague who was retiring. He is an apiologist (studies bees) so I thought this would be great for him. I followed the directions in Debbie Brown's book, including the cake which was lemon flavored. I made cupcakes with flowers and bees, too.

St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes

The knotwork is royal icing. The green knot is a dark chocolate cupcake with Bailey's Irish Cream buttercream icing. The gold knot is a Guinness chocolate cupcake with cream cheese icing. Both of these were the best tasting cupcakes I have made yet!

St. Patrick's Day Cookies

These are my second attempt at royal icing decorated sugar cookies. I definitely still need some practice, but the knotwork was a lot of fun.

My Birthday Cake

This is my first try at a tiered cake. The bottom is 6" and came out ok, the middle layer is 4" and the top is 2 cupcakes - I had some problems with them. But I learned a lot. The inspiration came from several cake designs at www.pinkcakebox.com. My cake was lemon with raspberry filling - and was really yummy. I never thought I would have so much fun making my own birthday cake.

Yoda Cupcakes

These were requested by my son and he loved them! Chocolate cupcakes. The light saber was made of fondant, the robe of chocolate fondant. Everything else on Yoda was buttercream (chocolate buttercream for the body and base)

Cupcake Tree

I've done the same design before, but this time I added more colors and flavors. These are chocolate cupcakes with raspberry, orange or chocolate buttercream icing, and vanilla cupcakes with lime, lemon or vanilla buttercream. They're topped with a fondant flower with buttercream centers.

Green Bay Packer Helmet Cake

This was my first "real" cake. The helmet is vanilla cake covered with fondant. The face mask is also fondant (but broke while assembling the cake). The field is chocolate cake covered with buttercream.
