Camping Cake

I made this cake for my brother's wedding. His only instruction was "it has to have a tent on it". Both the bride and groom are avid hikers/campers. The little boy fishing on the rock is Emmett, my nephew (from my brother's first marriage).

Hydrangea Wedding Cake

A cake for my friend's wedding - she wanted quilting, beading, round, two layer, blue and white, with hydrangeas and a monogram....she got all of the above :-).

Detroit Red Wings Birthday Cake

Chcolate cake with hazelnut chocolate filling, covered with crusting buttercream. The Red Wing logo was created using the Frozen Buttercream Transfer method. It was my first time using crusting buttercream, as well as my first time trying a FBCT. Overall, I was pretty happy with it.

Abstract Birthday Cake

Chocolate fondue (made with Wilton's fondant and chocolate candy melts). This was my first time creating a bow - thanks to the cc'ers who posted directions on the forums or in articles for the advice - greatly appreciated! This one is made of fondant, but next time I think I'll try 1/2 fondant, 1/2 gumpaste, and use candy melts as a "glue". Live and learn!

Pirate Ship Cake

This cake was so much fun to make...a real learning experience. The "water" is a chocolate sheet cake, while the "pirate ship" is a pound cake.

Simple Birthday Cake

This was a chocolate cake with whipped strawberry filling topped with white chocolate buttercream.

Simple Offset Square Wedding Cake

I made this for a friend who was quite specific in what she wanted - 2 tier, offset square, ivory, simple and classic.

A Birthday Cake For A Wonderful Woman

I had made a birthday cake for a wonderful woman's grandchild, and she liked it so much that she made sure I knew when her birthday was so that I could give her a cake too!
