Padres Little League Party

This cake was made for an end-of-season party for a Padres Little League team. The cake was alternating layers of vanilla and chocolate wit vanilla buttercream on each tier (so everyone would get what they liked). The baseballs around the bottom tier had names and numbers of each of the players so each ked got a piece of cake with their baseball. It was a hit! One player was so excited that everything was edible (fondant or gumpaste) that he took a bite out of the fondant bat... and liked it!

Alien Planet Cake

This cake was made for my son's 8th birthday adn the Sacramento Discovery Space and Science Center. The cake (both base and planet) is chocolate with chocolate buttercream covered in fondant. The planet was made with a Wilton sports ball pan. The planet clouds were painted on with food coloring and vodka. There are glow stars attached to the fondant stars on the base and hanging from the wires above the cake. The rings are made from glow bracelets and necklaces. the "J" is made from silver coated licorice wires and LED lights. The cake plate also had LED lights. When we turned out the lights to sing "Happy Birthday" the whole cake lit up. It was great!

Flower Cake

This cake was made for a birthday and for Mother's day. It is a chocolate cake with oreo cookie goat cheese frosting. All ingredients are organic and much of the sugar has been substituted with agave nectar to lower the glycemic index for those watching their sugar intake. Teh cake is covered in fondant and the stems are fondant. The flowers are real. I found the great ribbon that looks like grass on sale at Michael's craft store!
