First Wedding Cake

First Wedding Cake

My first cake for someone's wedding, not their first wedding! Vanilla cake with almond buttercream. It looked a lot prettier in person. Gold painted piped scrolls on storei-bought fondant (too humid to make my own properly). They loved it, which is all that matters.

Booze Bottle Groom's Cake

Booze Bottle Groom's Cake

The base is a Collete Peters CocoLoco recipe cake with raspberry buttercream, and the bottle is hollow cast white chocolate with a hand painted fondant label. I sneezed glittery green for a week after all the luster dust it took to get the color! Groom loved it.

Here's my first ever competition cake! It's for the Butler County Fair which starts tomorrow....I'll comment if I win (the prize is 5 whole dollars!). The peacock is gumpaste and a lot of luster dust, flowers are gumpaste and the rest is royal . It's on a dummy, which is why it is so nice and round (which my real cakes never are)!

Beauty And The Beast Cake

Beauty And The Beast Cake

This was made for the cast party of a production of Beauty and the Beast that I'm in. The rose, mirror, all plaques, gargoyles and pennants are gumpaste. Otherwise it's royal painted over Chocopan handpainted (since I don't have an airbrush!). I have more pix if you like, I did a handpainted plaque on each side of scenes from the prologue of the movie. It was a huge hit!

Poinsettia Cake

Poinsettia Cake

Made for my family this Christmas, it's butter cake with raspberry buttercream filling. This is my version of a Collette Cake, but I put a gumpaste poinsettia in the middle instead of a bow because I'm not very good at bows!

Andrew's Wine-Theme Birthday Cake

Andrew's Wine-Theme Birthday Cake

For my husband's 40th birthday. Hard to see the top, but it's a gel candle in a little wine glass so he would have something to blow out. The grapes, leaves and vines are gumpaste. Both layers were buttermilk yellow cake with raspberry buttercream filling.

Legal Mermaid (Front)

Legal Mermaid (Front)

When I started doing cakes, my friend asked that if she ever got into law school, she would like a cake that was a mermaid holding a gavel. I didn't ask why, but she got in and here's the cake! The dive float is in honor of my brother's 40th birthday, which we were also celebrating. Chocolate rum cake, buttercream and piping gel "water," hand painted and luster dust "rock" and gumpaste accessories. Cheated by gluing the gavel to her hand and the gumpaste seashells as a bikini. Big fun!

Bachelorette Bed Cake (Clean!)

Bachelorette Bed Cake (Clean!)

This was a "morning after" wedding bed cake I made for a friend's bachelorette party. Didn't want anything naughty or embarrasing, so I put on a few fun little things that I thought might be found on their wedding bed in the morning! Cat and wine stuff is fondant, nightie and boxers are gumpaste, the rest is MMF-covered yellow cake with chocolate Bavarian filling. She loved it!

All MMF with royal brush embroidery and the flowers and ribbons are gumpaste, which I'm pretty pleased with....folks thought they were silk, which I took as a compliment!

Matrix Birthday Cake

Matrix Birthday Cake

This is a birthday cake with a "Matrix" theme. It was for a grown man's birthday, he's a techno kind of guy and his wife thought this would be fun. The green letters hide "Happy Birthday Rob" within the code. The border is supposed to look like wiring. All buttercream with green gel code, sprayed with black "Cake mist" because I don't have an airbrush system!

Our 3Rd Anniversary Cake

Our 3Rd Anniversary Cake

Just finished this one and hope it makes the drive across town to the party! It's chocolate/mocha cake with chocolate truffle filling, MMF marblized and painted. The idea was shamelessly stolen from the amazing "Cakes to Dream On" by Collette Peters. Hers looked better but I get to eat mine.
