Lady Bug Cakes

These cakes each serve 2-3 people, and are filled with a raspberry creme made from Cool Whip and Raspberry Jam (seedless). They are decorated in fondant.

Jack's Jungle

Baby shower cake with a jungle theme. Transported it to NC. What an experience. Fondant and southern heat are a challenge for this northerner.

Jungle Animals Brithday Cake

A first birthday for a co-worker's son, and the matching "smash" cake for the birthday boy. Pretzel sticks and fondant leaves to make the palm trees. Hand make animals (some better than others!). Inspired by other cakes I've seen at Cake Central. I love this web site!

Race Car

Baby Shower Ducky Cake

Version of a Wilton cake. Buttercream with fondant accents.

Golf Cart

Made this for a co-workers retirement. Lesson learned - mix, mix and mix icing - otherwise you get varying colors in the same batch. Ugh!

Oval Floral

Spongebob Squarepants

Got the idea from CC. I did the face by eyeballing it - but next time I'll get a cake size copy of his face and work with that. Used cut chop stick to support nose.

Hexagon Daisy

Dark chocolate Satin Ice fondant (yummy).

Giant Cupcake

Used Wilton pan. All fondant decorations. Copied from idea I saw on CC.

Snake Cake

Used 2 bundt pan cakes cut into pieces and carved head and tail.

Hexagon 3 Tier Birthday Present Cake

Spring Flower Basket With Bird

One of the first cakes I madein the Wilton Course 2.

Birthday Cake Present #2

Present Cake #1

Baby Clothes Line Shower Cake

This is a version of a cake I saw on CC. All descorations are Satin Ice Fondant/Gumpaste mix ,with Wilton Decorator Icing accents on clothes.

Cinderella

Used Disney Cinderella Princess pick and popular "Barbie Cake" method with small Wilton cake pan designed for the doll picks. Fondant dress. This is a very small cake - would serve only 2 people. It was an accent to a large Disney Castle cake, but if I was doing it on it's own I would put on a round cake as a topper.

Dark Chocolate Birthday

Used Wilton daisy cutters for the flowers. All the fondant is Satin Ice - the brown is their dark chocolate which I think is fabulous - tastes and looks great. Used molds I found on ebay for chocolate letters.

Thanks To Our Soldiers

Made this cake for a friend's son who was home on leave over Christmas. Used an old Wilton cake pan called GI Joe. Updated the colors from the jungle fatigue of the 60s to browns. Probably should have done beiges & tans instead. Used alphabet molds I found on ebay to mold the chocolate letters.

Fishy

One of the first fondant cakes I made. I cut out the fish from the base fondant and inserted the different color fish cut from the same cutter. What a mistake. It didn't take long for the light blue fondant to droop down the sides leaving a mess of a cake. But it looks nice for a while!

Bride & Bride's Maids

I made this for a friend's birthday - she was getting married later that year and the bride's maids wore black. Doll picks are Wilton's. Made the veil and shawls using tule.

Bridal Shower

My version of a cake I saw somewhere else on the web. I had some problems with the fondant on the middle layer, but otherwise it turned out good. I struggle with this on and off - anyone have any suggestions on how not to have saggy fondant? Since this cake I started buying Satin Ice instead of making marshmellow fondant because I couldn't get the consistency right and that seems to help some. I use the Wilton Decorative Icing instead of making their buttercream recipe.

Ashley's Birthday

My daughter's 18th Birthday Cakes. She say something similiar in a Wilton book and asked me to make a pink version of it.

Dan Marino

Used Wilton Football Hero cake pan, then pattern transfer for altered design

Flower Basket

50Th Birthday

Wilton cake pans used for numbers.
