Baby Dragon

Bobbing For Apples.

Marshmallow fondants wraps a chocolate cake.

Baby Shower

This is simple butter cream recipe. Rattles and booties are butter cream. Bear is marshmallow fondant cover with butter cream.

Pool These.

Layered cake with butter cream and a fondant character. This was supposed to be Wilton's checker cake but it didn't quite turn out that way. I have no idea why I can't get butter cream to smooth out. Even after the Wilton class. They said to let it crust over some and it just makes it worse. So mostly the inside is what impressed everyone.

Cabbage Patch Doll

This is an old Wilton pan of the Cabbage Patch Kids. I made this for my daughters second birthday. It is done in Wilton's traditional butter cream frosting. Thanks for looking and happy creating!

High School Musical

Here is a simple HSM cake. Cake decorated in butter cream frosting. The figures are a pack of stickers that I put on tooth picks. Thanks for looking and happy creating!

Brownie Bridging To Jr. Girl Scout

It's the end of the year and the troops are moving up and on. This is/was our Brownie troop "bridging" ceremony. The rainbow is double sided with a bridge in the middle made purely of fondant, no extra support structure, and candy rocks for the path. I tried to use the Wilton sparkles gel, it ran. The rest is all butter cream frosting. Thanks for looking and happy creating! (My 9 year old helped with the bottom of the cake, brown.)

Flowers And Butterflies.

This is a cake I made for my sister. The butterflies were an experience. It was my first time. They are not perfect but I took notes : ) and hopefully it will go better next time. The most stressful part was the two days that they had to set up. Finding a safe place for them to set up with a hubby and two kids. . . whew! Glad it is over. Will have to ponder that one. Butterflies are royal icing and the rest is buttercream.

This was an end of season cake for the kids. Chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. Sugar cookies on the side. I almost forgot to take a picture. I didn't realize how blurry it turned out. The soccer field is chocolate frosting with green frosting on top to give it a used look.

12 Dancing Princesses Barbie Cake

Butter cream frosting with ice cream cones. It is my daughters cake and she loved it. It was cost effective. She liked Barbie, castles and pretty flowers. It is on a half sheet. Couldn't of gotten that at the big W-M chain store for the price.

Flower Cupcakes.

I was surfing the web for a fun flower to put on top of my cupcakes. These are supposed to be begonias, taste testers said dogwood blossoms. I used a new butter cream recipe as well; all butter instead of half and butter and half shortening. I think there was just a bit to much liquid. They have a bit of a melted look to them but they tasted great with the deep dark chocolate cake.

Topsy Turvy

This is my first topys turvy cake. I made it with buttercream. No one will eat fondant here. I was a little rushed. I have yet to master smoothing out the frosting and I kept hitting one of the other layer while decorating.

First Topsy Turvy

Life was great until we got it in the car. With every bump the bottom started to form fissures. With the last corner and final bump the bottom couldn't take any more. Hubby stuck his thumb in it to keep it out of his lap. Once in the house, my mom and sister used skewers to prop up the side. ANY ADVICE APPRECIATED!

Dalmatian With Fire Hydrant

The guys were a little irritated that Adam was quitting and going to work for the Fire Department.

Naruto

Police Badge Cake

This was hard. I had one patch. The others trickled in as bad scans or inch by an inch pictures from a web site. It is okay, a couple of the badges lost their shape. Perhaps this should be in cake disasters. Nothing much was said at delivery except that there was a badge missing (I didn't forget) and could I add it right there with a CAN blue frosting from the store. By CAN I mean Betty's nifty frosting under pressure can with tips provided. Seriously! It is all done in butter cream.

Classic Wilton R2 D2

Under The Sea Cake

Dark chocolate cake with butter cream frosting. The seahorses and dolphins are cut from cake. The kids stuck on sugar dolphins before I got the picture taken.

Fairy Cake

Decorated with butter cream frosting. Babies first birthday. The round cake was so Mauve could dig in.

Green Dragon Cake

This cake was for the guys in my life. Us women folk didn't want to eat 3 cakes. So the dragon was to light all 125 candles. The red piping around the flames was done with a tube of store bought stuff. The rest is all butter cream.
