This cake was for my grandmother's 76th birthday. I've always wanted to get her a cake w/yellow roses when i was smaller. I never imagined I would be making it! :) She felt really special....which warms my heart. All tiers were Southern Butter Pecan cake w/French Vanilla frosting w/homemade praline pecans. It was so old fashionably yummy!! ...i wish i coulda made the flowers, but ran outta time. darn it!! anyways, i got really pretty cake design from the famous jennifermi! i love her cakes! :)
This was made for lil boy celebrating his 6th bday and he LOVES to fish! This cake required some researchtoo bad it didnt involve fishing!! Lol. I looked up the types of fish found in the nearby lake and found pix of Bass fish which I used as a guide for shape, colors, etc. along w/the help of expert decorators allycook & springlakecake, this cake would have NEVER happened!! THANKS Y'ALL! The fish is all chocolate cake! Fins, gills and mouth are fondant. All hand-painted various greens. The board/pier is distressed and hand painted fondant. The post-it says.Gone Fishin Happy Bday Chaston! Push pin is hand-painted silver. Lure is real! (but snipped off the ends of the hooks so no kiddos get caught)

This cake was done for a man who has helped my family with insurance forever! He is so sweet. His daughter (who is just as sweet) ordered it for him. It was suppose to only feed 10 people, but turned out a little bigger. But oh well. I think it looks good for my first one ever! :) Oh, have to add. my husband is responsible for the nike symbol. He said it takes the bag to generic to name brand. I agree... lol Cake was chocolate w/chocolate buttercream filling. Covered in Satin Ice. Clubs, golf balls, golf tees and zippers are all fondant. Grass is coconut dyed green. I'm a wanna-be cake decorator...not a golfer but I think I got the club, putter and some wedges. :)
Baby shower cake for my lil "pretty-much" lil sister. Let me explain...my mom babysat her since she was 5 weeks so we totally grew up together! :) I love her so much and it was such an honor to be able to make her a cake for such a special celebration. The cake design was based off of the "tiny bundles" baby shower collection. I was given an invitation and a napkin to work off of and this is what I came up with. Duck is fondant and white chocolate. Was going to buy, but couldn't find one cute enough. :) Top tier is vanilla w/vanilla buttercream. Bottom tier is chocolate cake w/cookies and cream filling. Stitching on polka dots and ribbons are done in an edible pen. Hope you like it!
