Pink & Purple Star Cake
This cake gave me all sorts of problems. I had bubbles in the fondant that I did not see untill I flipped it on to the cake, I really dont like the colors the little girl chose, just overall not one I had fun with. It is a dark chocolte WASC cake with vanilla butter cream and buttercream Fondarific fondant (which I normally LOVE working with), and pink and silver stars, balls and curly ques.

Scroll Work Bridal Shower
3 layer dark chocolate sour cream cake with vanilla cream cheese butter cream and vanilla fondant. I had lots of issues with this cake. It was my first with scroll work and I actually took it to a friend who helped me with it. I had to redo the fondant twice and it actually had 2 blowouts (my first ever). The client had some large sunflowers she was going to put on it at the shower. She was very happy which makes it all worth while.

Navy, Pink And Silver Sweet 16
A 3 tier hexagon cake with white, navy, silver and hot pink buttercream Fonderific fondant. Each tier was a different flavor, I added a large pink ruffle of icing at the base and a blue bow. Streamers and fondant stars on wires were added at the venue. She totally loved it!

Missou Tiger Brownie
For a 10 year old boy who wanted a Missouri Tigers cake. He does not like cake so I did a 12" round brownie and after trying to ice it and not liking the result I decided to go with the gold fondant, black border, tiger paw print and simple writing (I hate writing on cakes because I am just not good at it). He LOVED it and mom was pleased. TFL!

Tiki God Luau Cake
The tiki god is a 4 layer Dark Chocolate WASC cake sitting on a 5" dummy base. Covered in vanilla cream cheese BC and chocolate fondant. Gum Paste Hibiscus, Gum paste surf boards and beach towel for the 3 people who were celebrating a birthday. Graham cracker sand, chocolate shells and working tiki torches made with birthday candles and gumpaste stuck on a skewer. This cake was a real challenge due to its hieght but a total blast to make. Even though I had my hubby search for just the right scrapbooking stickers for the surf boards and beach towel. TFL! Comments are welcome.

Kniting Basket Cake
Orange cake with dark chocolate ganache filling and cream cheese butter cream icing covered in vanilla fonderific fondant (tinted brown). The Balls of yarn are RKT with fondant yarn added on. This was my first basket cake and I did not want to do a typical basket weave with BC so I actually wove the fondant strips for the outer walls of the basket then layed them on the cake. The rope border covers where the strips were attached.

Round White Wedding Cake With Red Roses
This was only the 2nd wedding cake I have made. I tried the upside down icing method for the first time and I do like the crispness of the edges I got from it. Although I did not like having it in and out of the fridge so much. The cake is White and dark chocolate fudge with cream cheese buttercream icing and silk roses. The bride brought me the basic topper form Walmart and let me get rid of the white shiney roses that were on it and replace them with red. I think it was a big improvement.

The Big Lebowski Cake
This cake was inspired by the one Duff did for the Lebowskifest. The ball and pins are gum paste, the toe was WASC cake tinted red with a tunnle of BC "bone" running through it. The base cake was Chocolate WASC cake covered in fondant and hand painted to look like wood flooring. The area rug was hand painted with gum paste fringe added to the ends. This was my first carved cake and the first time I have hand painted the fondant or gum paste. Thanks for all of the help on the area !

Jungle Birthday
This cake is for my daughters 4th birthday tomarrow. She LOVES giraffes so I had to do something with them in it. The cake is 12" round for the bottom. Top is a 6" round that I overfilled so that it would mound in the center when baking. I left the mound and used the cracks in the cake to mold the mountain. Covered in Fonderific Vanilla (a dream to work with) all of the animals are fondant that I painted with gel coloring. Trees and coconuts are sotened tootsie rolls. Bushes and grass are fondant.

Easter Flowers
The cake was done for my Mother in laws Aunt. It is for her 80th Birthday and the party was the day before Easter. There is a different type of flower at each corner of the cake. Yellow daisies and purple carnations are on the back side. The eggs were from a Egg garland from Hobby Lobby. I just cut it apart. The flowers are all Gumpaste.

Gum Paste Rose After Coloring And Dusting.
For some reason this rose is showing MUCH darker than it actually is. It is actually a pastel pink with darker pink dusted into the inner portions of the flower. None of the roses I make are done with cutters. Each petal is formed with just pinching it between my 2 fingers and thumbs untill I get a shape that I like.
