Fall Leaves

8" covered in chocolate ganache and decorated with airbrushed gumpaste leaves. The cake was perfectly smooth, but the ganache set up so quickly as I was smoothing it that it shows different shades of brown. Oh well, it was just for dinner with friends and they were so happy with cake that I don't think they noticed.

Square Quilted

6/9/12 on fondant covered base. First time I used SPS system & am really glad I did! This was for a friend's home wedding and when I arrived at 2:30 I was instructed to set the cake up outside (Phoenix - 85 degrees & wedding was at 5 PM). Once I reminded the MOH what would happen to the cake she provided indoor space on a drafting table with a 5 degree tilt - OMG! Cake went together smoothly and sat on the tilted surface for 4 hours without any problems. Cake was moved outside out after it cooled off and all was well. Can't tell you how relieved I was to have this one done and over with.

Ugh - Sheet Cake!

I truly don't like doing sheet cakes; however, my day job colleagues requested a cake for our VP's birthday and they covered the expenses. I didn't have much time and this fit the bill. It's simple, but they all liked it ; - )

Butterflies

This cake was designed by a sweet 4 year old girl for her grandmother's birthday. Her request included marble cake, white icing, rainbow and butterflies. I interpreted it into gum paste butterflies airbrushed then dusted with luster dust, and swirled up the side in a rainbow of color. Thank goodness she liked it!

Halloween Theme Wedding

Two of the sweetest people were married last night, & it was an honor to make their wedding cake. He is a chef and she is a pastry chef - I was astounded when they requested that I do their cake. Halloween theme, bride requested a traditional look with Halloween elements and specifically asked for tombstones. MMF with gum paste decorations. Base was covered with black fondant, scrolls were embossed then painted with silver AmeriMist airbrush paint. Delivery was stressful - had to slam on the brakes in traffic. TFL

Two Peas In A Pod

Baby shower cake for a coworker. 10 x 4 and 7 x 4. Pale green MMF with gum paste decorations. I was up pretty late finishing it and resorted to a ribbon border so I could get some sleep. I forgot to take a photo before hauling the cake to work and shot a pic with my cell phone at the last minute. Thank you melmar02 for the pea pod inspiration.

Summer Bbq Party Cake

Quickie little 8" 4-layer vanilla cake with raspberry cream cheese mousse filling, covered with pale green MMF & simple fondant cutout flowers. It's so fun to surprise people with a decorated cake ... when I volunteered to bring a homemade cake for dessert I think the hostess was expecting something in a Pyrex dish slathered with canned frosting - LOL.

Petite Wedding Cake

I've done a number of tiered cakes; however, this is the first one with buttercream. It's also my first wedding cake. 5", 7" & 10" tiers, Edna's buttercream. Family specified random dots with buttercream borders. Used 6 bubble tea straws in the bottom tier, 5 in the middle tier & 4 regular straws in the top tier topped with a 4" cardboard disk (wrapped with butcher paper) to support the floral topper. Wooden dowel was used to secure all three tiers together. I delivered the cake Friday night & the family added flowers Saturday morning (I provided flower spikes so the stems wouldn't be stuck in the cake). TFL.
