Fall Dessert Cake
My daughter just got a new job about a month ago, and wanted to celebrate by having a "dessert party" at her apartment with some of her co-workers.....I had a couple of extra layers of white cake left over, so she took those and filled and covered with chocolate buttercream, and added the kit kats and reece's pieces and bow. She said all the girls loved it and had to take pictures! She was very proud of her cake, and so was I!!!!!

Corpse Bride Cake
This is my version of the corpse bride cake. It was for a Halloween wedding reception. The cake is red velvet with cream cheese filling; fondant covered, airbrushed, with fondant details on the side. The dragonflies and butterflies are non-edible; these are what the bride wanted. I think it turned out pretty good. Thanks for looking!

Tiara Cake
First time making tiara; made 2 out of royal icing, and they were disasters!!! SO I rushed to do this simple design out of gumpaste, and it worked! No more royal icing tiaras!!!!!!! THis is for my daughters' friend who wanted it for a friend that they lovingly call "The Queen of All Birthdays"!!! Thus, the tiara!!!!!! (And these girls are almost in their 30's!!!!!) FUN!! It's double chocolate fudge cake with peanut butter filling and mmf with the gumpaste tiara!!! Thanks for looking, and thanks to all who replied when I asked for help with the tiara!!!!!!!!!

Hot Tub
This is another hot tub cake I did ~ it was a "rush" job......funny thing about the cake.......The guy that wanted it is a friend of my husband........(so my husband took the order)....he said he wanted one like the hot tub I had done before.........so, I'm thinking naked people in a hot tub.........well, he called Sat. morning to see if I was done (I needed 2 more hours!) and my husband was telling him what it looked like.......and he's like....."NO!!!!!!!! NO, NO, NOT NAKED PEOPLE!!!!!!!! THIS IS FOR A TEENAGERS' BALL TEAM!"....................................OOPS!!!!!!!!!! Seems as though SOMEONE didn't make that clear!!!!!!! (note to self: always talk to the person wanting the cake!) So here I am scrambling to take boobs off of people............and re-do.......(seems they wouldn't be needing the wine/beer bottles that I had made after all!!) ANYWAY............................here's what it FINALLY looked like..........(and I am NOT happy with the people!!!!!) But he loved it!!!!!!!

Semi Truck
This is a cake I did for our friends' 50th birthday; he drives a truck that hauls MRI machines, so his wife wanted me to do a truck cake for him.......now, bear in mind that this is the first semi truck cake I have done, and the lumps on the top of the trailer are coconut; see, I thought I was going to put another layer on top, but decided against it................all in all, I thought it turned out pretty good!!!!!! It was WASC cake with coconut buttercream filling; mmf most everything else; the wheels are mmf/gumpaste. It was a lot of fun, but boy, I need more practice!!!!
