Thanksgiving Italian Cream Cake
Three layer Italian Cream Cake with cream cheese frosting. I added pecans to the frosting in between the layers and on top. The basketweave has both cream cheese and buttercream frosting. The remainder is decorated with buttercream. My sister is coming for a visit this weekend, so I decided to cook an early Thanksgiving meal. Just had to make a cake for the occasion! :). TFL!!

Carrot Cake Decorated With Fall Leaves
Last minute cake order for a carrot cake. Since I had full reign on how to decorate it, I decided to use some of the left over frosting I had from another cake I made today (also posted on CC). I made a basketweave using both cream cheese and buttercream and decorated the top with fall leaves and a sunflower using buttercream. I used mini chocolate chips for the sunflower seeds. TFL!! :)

Blest Be The Tie That Binds, Sheet Music Cake
Double chocolate layer cake filled with dark chocolate ganache and raspberry mousse filling. Frosted and decorated all with raspberry flavored buttercream. I made this cake for our choir retreat. This is my first attempt at making a sheet music cake and boy do I need a lot of practice!! It's hard to keep a steady hand to do the notes and to write the words that small, so I took a close up picture in order to see the words, but then....you can see all my mistakes! YIKES!! :) Next time I'll have to do the men's part since a bass clef is much easier to draw than a treble clef! LOL!! Thanks for looking! :)

Pirouette And Candy Bars Cake!
A triple layer yellow cake filled and frosted with chocolate buttercream. I surrounded the cake with pirouette cookies and filled the top with all kinds of mini candy bars. This was made for a friend of mine's birthday (day before Halloween, which is why I added a pumpkin ribbon around the base) and since she considers herself a princess, I added a plastic tiara and star wand to go along with her personality! She loved it! :)

Chocolate Turtle Birthday Cake
A triple layer chocolate cake filled with a thick and creamy caramel filling. Each layer is also topped with chopped turtle chocolate candies and frosted entire cake with chocolate buttercream. This was a request from a co-worker for her niece's 40th birthday. I found out she likes polka dots so I added those on the side and I cut additional turtle chocolates in half and used them to decorate on top. I also drizzled some caramel sauce on top. Thanks for looking! :)

Twelve-Layer Mocha Cake!
Twelve-Layer Mocha Cake. This cake has three different types of cake all rolled into one: A spongy yellow cake brushed with Kahlua, a chocolate souffl? cake and a meringue cake with a chopped chocolate hazlenut bar folded into the meringue before it's baked. Each of these cakes has two layers and they are all filled with either a coffee buttercream or a mocha buttercream. I frosted the entire cake with coffee buttercream and decorated it with buttercream violets. It was a little time consuming to make, but ohhhhh so worth it! :) I also included a picture after it was cut to try and show the different layers. TFL!

Bugs On A Cake! :)
The United Methodist Women from the church I attend are going on a picnic this week and ordered these two cakes from me. They requested one chocolate cake and one vanilla cake decorated with bugs to go along with their picnic theme! This is what I came up with! :) I used the frozen buttercream transfer technique on the bugs. I used an oreo cookie to decorate the sunflowers and M&M's to do the ladybugs. Buttercream was used for everything else including the two-tone basketweave. TFL!!
