Slumber Party Birthday
This is a birthday cake I made for my daughter. It is a chocolate cake with a cream cheese/raspberry filling. I got the idea and inspiration from cakes I saw here on this site, thanks to all the great minds on here. I am still working on drawing the faces, I am not an artist. Any advice on that would be greatly appreciated.

Sailing
This is the grooms cake I did, I posted the wedding cake on here as well. This cake is a chocolate cake with strawberry filling. They wanted a sailing theme cake and I got the idea from a couple of cake on this site, Thank You!! The top was left unsmoothed to look like water and the boat was a carved cake and covered in fondant. The anchor and rope are made of fondant and there is a life preserver on the other side made from fondant. I used edible marker to write just married on the sail and to persoanlize it for the boat TX# (registration number) was their wedding date and on the back of the boat I used their last name to "name" the boat. It was a fun cake to do.

Paisley Wedding
TThis is a yellow butter cake with a raspberry/cream cheese filling. It is decorated with buttercream icing and my hand hit it right before I took the picture. I was able to fix it, however, I did not have time to take more pics because the bridal party and guest were arriving. The henna design was done freehand and my first time without stecils. The flowers are silks, the bride was very happy with the cake and she had many guests tell her they loved it. I am also posting the grooms cake

Puppy Love

The bone they are sharing is cake covered in fondant and the bow is buttercream. Everything on the cake is edible, even the pearls. Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.

Happy Bday Cirena
This is a cake a made for a friend, this was one of those cake nightmares. After the cake was done baking and cooled in the pan, I turned it over to release it and it fell apart. This was about 9pm and I had to be at work the next morning at 6am. Needless to say I had to rebake the cake and got up at 345 the next morning to decorate the cake. Thanks for looking.

Football Field Birthday Cake
Let me tell you this cake was a booger to make. There were a LOT of learning experiences in it. The goal post did not turn out like I wanted it to, but we learned (of course after the fact) how we showed have done it. Yes there was a lot of WOOOOSAAAAWing in this cake. The cake is covered in fondant with fondant and gumpaste accents. The field goal post and bleachers are gumpaste, the Gatorade bucket is fondant, and I used the "grass" tip to make the grass. The field lines and lettering are buttercream icing. Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.

Happy 4Th Of July
I made this for a party we are going to tonight. The curly cews had to be broken in half because they would not stay up and even had some difficultly halved. Overall I am not disappointed. It is a yellow butter cake with a strawberry filling. Buttercream icing with fondant accents. I have the best cake teacher, she came to my house to help me with decorating. Thanks Kim!!

Twirls & Bows
This is my final fondant class cake. I messed up on a few things and left out a couple of ingredients for the icing so it didn't turn out quite like I pictured it. Not too disappointed though, I don't think it turned out too bad. Let me know what you think and all advice is welcomed. I know it is hard to tell but the colors are actually purple and yellow.

The waves and border are buttercream icing, there is also crushed nilla wafers on the sand border to give it more of a real look. Let me know what you think.

Happy Fathers Day
This is my first fondant cake. I am loving the class and this is so much fun. I made this cake for my husband for fathers day. He is always napping. The Honey do list next to him says...mow, caulk, paint, wash cars, bathe dogs. Let me know what you think, I am still learning and would appreciate any advice.

Gettin To Stay
This was originally for a going away party that turned into a gettin to stay party just a couple days before the party. My original cake design was a sheet cake with a Texas cake and a house cake on top then decorated, well I had to change at the last minute and this is all I could come up with on short notice. It is my 5th cake to decorate.

Just Clowns
This is my 1st attempt at a tiered cake. Everything that could go wrong did, my cake edges burned, I ran low on icing, ran out of stuff to make more icing, had an icing bag bust as I was decorating. After all of that, this is what I came up with. Overall, its not too bad, just not exactly what I had pictured in my head.

Welcome Daisy - Top View
This is my final cake for course 1. I am having a blast, I was able to include decorations from each lesson. We could either choose a cake from the book or make one of our own. I choose to design my since since I have am getting a puppy soon. She was just born, and this is, I guess you could say a birth announcement.
