Bikini Bottom

Home Sweet Home

A gingerbread house I put together as a favor for a friend. The kit didn't come with enough candy so I opened a pack of skittles that I had left from Halloween and added some sugar pearls that I had on hand.

Pixie Hollow

Girls 1St Bday

Dot Webkinz

A little girls bday cake...she didn't specify anything to put on it so I did this and she loved it.

Mother in laws bday cake. Tropical island. Cream cheese buttercream with fondant and gumpaste accents. Sand is ground vanilla wafers and dark brown sugar.

3 Tiers For Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse clubhouse themed cake for my daughters 4th birthday party. Ordered the figures from the Disney store online. Buttercream with fondant accents.

"senior Prom"

Made this 1950's theme cake for a senior citizens prom. Buttercream with fondant accents.

Strawberry Bouquet

Strawberry cake with strawberry cream cheese icing and my first attempt at carved strawberries to look like a rose bouquet.

Little Einsteins

I made this for my best friends daughter for her 4th birthday. I couldn't find a single thing I could use as a cake topper or decoration in the little einsteins theme that was affordable so I printed pictures on card stock, covered them with clear packing tape to protect them, cut them out, attached them to a lollipop stick, then put them in the cake. Necessity breeds invention! And no they are not touching the cake. All buttercream except for the little einsteins. .

Alien Encounter

My nephew wanted an alien cake for his birthday and this is what I came up with. The alien that is being crushed by the top tier was meant to be crushed by the UFO but I didn't have the room so I improvised....he'll think it's cool. The clear part is a plastic cup and the UFO is rice crispy treats covered in MMF.

A Boo-Thday Cake

A birthday cake for a little girl.Her mother wanted the ghosts to wear party hats to tie in the birthday theme. Buttercream with fondant accents. The tree is a pretzel stick covered with MMF, the ghosts are Dum Dum pops covered with MMF.

La Bourse

Made this for my niece's 7th bday. She wanted a "big kid" cake with a purse and makeup and stuff. I got the colors from the party decorations. This was my first purse cake. It's been one of those days, I'm very tired, but I did my best so I hope she likes it. I'm not quite satisfied but her opinion is all that matters in the end. TFL.

The Commodore

I made this for a guy's birthday who is a huge Vandy fan. The 1st attempt at the Commodore was a frozen buttercream transfer that completely fell apart. The 2nd attempt was a piping gel transfer....also a disaster. So, I ended up hand painting an outline on the cake then piping over that. Third time was a charm but the 1st one was better.

Lazy In The Grass

Choc cake with BC frosting, paw prints, and grass. Fondant Boxer and dog bones. This was requested for a man's birthday cake who loves his boxer dog. I've never made a dog before but this turned out well I think. I know the top seems a little plain but that's how it was ordered.

Man's Best Friend

I made this Boxer, named Sadie, for a man's birthday cake. He loves his dog so his wife wanted this for his cake. This was my first dog but it turned out great. To answer some of the questions.....this was just a fondant figure I made for the cake, I'm not sure what they did with it after they cut the cake though. Thanks for your comments!

Red

Made for a 15 year old girl. Choc cake, all BC decorations. Mother told me to decorate it as I wanted and this is what I came up with.

Back To School: The Beginning

Cake 1 of 2 in this series. Made for my DH's fellow teachers. Vanilla cake with BC. Apples were erasers that I wrote on with marker and put on a lollipop sticks. Borders are the paper borders that teachers decorate their rooms with. Planned something different but my DH gave me the wrong date so it was due in a few days instead of a month!!!! It was quick, easy , and I think it turned out great considering my time crunch. The BC was awful though b/c I beat too much air into it. See the second cake, to

Back To School: The Sequel

Cake 2 of this series. Choc cake with BC icing.

Happy Accidents

Choc cake, choc raspberry ganache filling, white choc BC under fondant. Fondant flowers, RI and BC accents, ribbon border. I call this one happy accidents b/c when I was making it the MMF was crumbly and I barely managed to cover the bottom tier. The top tier's fondant kept breaking and tearing so I had to run out and buy the wilton fondant last minute. I colored it but COULD NOT get them to match and I was out of time. So I got to class with no design in mind and this is what I ended up with. Love it!!!

Made this for a German lady's birthday. Got the picture off her favorite beer bottle. It was my first one so I obviously need more practice.

Strawberry Shortcake

I made this for my niece's 4th birthday. 14 hours of work but I think worth every minute to see her face light up. 12 and 8 inch cakes, buttercream with fondant accents. I got the idea from several beautiful cakes. I took the best from each and added my own things. Thanks for looking.

121631384143356.jpg

I made this cake for my hubby's bday. He can sleep anywhere, any time of day, no matter the noise....I tease him that he is narcoleptic (no offense to anybody that really is!!!) and thought this would be cute for him. It is choc fudge cake, choc BC, and colored MMF. I thought the drool dripping from his mouth to his shirt was a nice touch. I think I did a pretty good job considering this was my very first time making and/or decorating with fondant.

Wedding Shower

I made this cake for a wedding shower. The host gave me an invitation to work with. You'll see that there is a blender and a drill made of color flow icing that was to sit on top . These were made exactly as they appeared on the invite. She loved the cake. I was pretty happy with most of it. I tried to do a ball border but my icing was being weird, maybe the humidity. This was my first paid cake.

Course 1 Finale

This was my course 1 finale cake, I thought it was really pretty.

Mom's Birthday

Made this for my mom. Again just practiced with things I'd just learned like the reverse shell border (which took a lot more icing than a reg shell so I didn't have enough to do the bottom border the same), and the flowers.
