You Are My Sunshine
12x12 chocolate cake. All buttercream, except the 2 little butterflies are of fondant. I didn't want to do the typical flowers and happy mother's day thing, so I opted for more fun and festive. I wanted bright and cheery, and what is more cheery than a sunshine. That was the inspiration for the cake.

Pink Lady Bug Cake
This started out as an 8X8 square vanilla cake. Well, changed my mind on the design, so I carved into a round and made a lady bug. Overall idea was cute, but I should have used "fun" flowers around the cake. I thought the roses were a little too...I don't know...up-tight. This was a fun cake and I should have piped whimsical little daisys. She loved it though, and that was all that mattered. All buttercream except the dots, eyes and antennas.
