What did you really want for your birthday in 2020? How about getting back to things we like to do?
Inspired by a gift bag. Inset sprinkles. I wouldn’t call it exactly fault line because faultline has rough edges but I did clean edges for the lines.it was shared cake by two of my nieces so two totally different cakes stacked and decorated to 1. Very different degrees and schools but blue was the common school color for both.
Mirror glazed ice cream cake of the sun with accompanying chocolate planets. Inside the ice cream cake...chocolate cake pop, peanut butter ice cream, chocolate chip edible cookie dough, peanut butter semifreido, chocolate ganache with pretzel crust on bottom. 8 year old boy birthday.
Cake featuring a hand painted red fondant bandana and fondant hat (RKT center). This was my first cowboy themed cake but I was so happy with how it turned out! While it was for a birthday, it perfectly aligns with the kickoff of the rodeo here in Houston!
12th Birthday cake for my daughter whom always gets exactly as she wishes for her birthday cake style. Marbled buttercream. Chocolate seashells and coral. Candy sea glass. Modeling chocolate seashell top piece. I loved the way the cake looked! It was delicious too. Can I just saw a dram of peppermint to a healthy batch of Italian buttercream tastes just like butter mints!
Too much fun for a 2 year old! Chocolate cake, strawberry filling, Italian buttercream with a little chocolate Italian buttercream on top for texture. Shaped with a ramp. Chocolate graham dirt, fondant accents, chocolate rocks, cookie logs, a little muddy ganache for fun! It even had a heavy load in the crane - 2 for birthday boy’s age.
My Christmas tree for family and friends. Egg nog cake. Chocolate hazelnut filling. Italian buttercream. Adorned with ornaments and 3D modeling chocolate star.
This cake is a Christmas Snow globe sitting on a present. The snow globe was complete with a Christmas tree and presents. I loved how the stenciling turned out. Andes chocolate mint flavor.
Technically, it was Percy Jackson inspired. Fault line. Ombre. Scales in the middle and fondant waves above and below. And of course, a trident for good measure...almost forgot - gelatin bubbles.
For a friend's 75th birthday. Italian Cannoli Cake. Gold brushed over ganache with white chocolate lotus flower and buttercream pom pom and poppy flowers. Overall color scheme was gold, silver and red which matched the party perfectly!
Cake is a rum cake which everyone raves about. Traditionally it is cooked in a bundt pan but I wanted to 'pretty it up' for a lunch with friends so I added a wreath of buttercream peonies to the top. For those wondering about the cake itself, I use ‘Almost Tortuga Rum Cake’ recipe. Google and you will find it. Two things though, my special addition is cinnamon. I add to taste but probably use around 1.5 tsp to 1tbsp. Also, search hard and find the rum listed. It’s hard to get but worth it. If you absolutely cannot find it, you should be picking a clear vanilla rum. When I last subbed I even comped the alcohol content in the glaze.
This cake was for a friend. It was a brownie cookie dough layered cake - semi-naked in italian buttercream with a watercolor type technique on the side, drip style with dark chocolate ganache and abstract chocolate pieces on top. This one was pretty simple to do an took let time but was visually pleasing and a knock-out on taste. Pictures show final cake (not the best picture because I didn't add the chocolate until at the event), one without the chocolate pieces, and the inside.
Unikitty cake from Lego Movie and Lego Movie 2. Done for 7 year old girl. It was pinata style with candy inside the cake. Because this one was large, it actually had 2 separate candy compartments.
Wings of Fire - Sea Wing Themed. 11 yr old girl's birthday.
Creme Tart (like a letter/number cake) done in the spirit of Texas!
Cake for my friend's 6 year old daughter. Smeared frosting, drip cake, chocolate pieces, gelatin bubbles, etc.
My son's 6th birthday cake. The top is the hatching Indominus Rex and has to be one of my coolest pieces.
My daughter’s 10th birthday wishlist. All edible except wood stick on rock candy. Very, very purple!
Toothless from How to Train you Dragon in flight for my son's 5th birthday. He asked 2 months ago for a Toothless cake so that is what it had to be.
Gidget from Secret Life of Pets for my. Daughter 9th Birthday. She is sitting on a pillow (which turned out so great it was almost a shame to put something on top.
Mickey mouse coming out of cake. All edible. Birthday cake for my 4 yr old son.
Personalized high school grad cake for niece. That's her in her band uniform. It reflects all things she remembers fondest from high school and the school itself (music, trumpet, band trips, school song, marching band, school crest, school colors, etc). All edible.
