Cup Of Coffee And Slice Of Cake
My retired sister said her morning ritual is a cup of coffee and a slice of cake (either store bought or one I created for her) and then every 2 hours she repeats the process so I thought it only fitting to recreate the moment for her birthday. The plate is chocolate and the cup is a chocolate cake with marshmallow filling and the slice is a cake I made for someone else and froze a slice for her plate.

Slot Machine Cake
This was my first attempt at a slot machine. The wording could have been neater, but my co-worker loved it. Obviously she is an avid slot player. The cake is a vanilla cake with whipped vodka in the mix, as well as crushed sugar cookies and white chocolate chips. The filling is bavarian cream mixed with whipped vodka and sprinkled with milk chocolate chips. The light at the top is a tea light.

Spiderman/venom
My nephew wanted Spiderman and Venom side by side. The cake is a cheesecake flavored vanilla cake with a cheesecake filling. The head is a pound cake that I carved, iced and wrapped in candy clay. I used two plastic straws (one in the neck and one in the chest) to hold up the head. The neck was rice crispie treats shaped into a cylinder and dipped in white chocolate to make it sturdy enough to hold the head.

Father's Day Cake
My husband wears baseball caps wherever he goes so I thought it only appropriate for Father's Day. This was a 6-inch chocolate 3-layer cake with a chocolate marshmallow and hazelnut filling with a white almond frosting. The hat and bid were made from candy clay I colored with brown and burgundy gel color. He loved it so much he drove it around showing it to all his friends on Father's Day.

Ice Cream Cakes
This was a pound cake (recipe doubled) cooked in a 9 x 13 pan and cut with a 2-inch cookie cutter. I put candy (jelly beans, nerds, lemonheads, etc.) in the bottom of the cone and placed the pound cake on top after carving the bottom of the cake to fit inside the top cone before icing with three different store bought frostings and then lightly sprinkling each. My niece wanted to give her nephews (out-of-towners) a party to meet their relations which were close in age to them. Not only did the kids love it but I also got an order from the clown at the party.

Patron Bottle Cake
Four layer chocolate cake with chocolate hazelnut filling. I used candy clay instead of fondant because it was easier to smooth out the shape of the bottle. My niece loved it so much she put it on facebook. My label leaves something to be desired but my edible icing machine was broke and the bakery supply wouldn't print the Patron logo because that would be copyright infringement so I had them print the shape of the logo with just the insect in the middle and I stamped the flowers on the side and Silver and used gumpaste for PATRON.

For Colored Girls - Tyler Perry's Movie
My niece had a group of ladies attend the movie and return to her house for refreshments and a discussion and asked if I would make a cake for the occasion. It was a two layer chocolate, chocolate chip with nuts with a chocolate ganache and the pictures were squares of white chocolate with white frosting spread over so the pictures would adhere. I wanted to make sure you got the full effect so that's why the other two pictures are shown. The cake was a huge success.
