Barnyard First Birthday

Tiered cake to match "Barnyard First Birthday" paper good. I cut out everything except the tree tops by hand. The tree tops are flower cutters. All the animals I designed by looking at the paper goods. I LOVE my chicks and my lettuce! lol The haystack on top is the smash cake (2 cupcakes stacked together).

Turquoise And Brown!

Turquoise and brown tiered bridal cake. Iced in BC with fondant accents.

Baby Strollers!

Made to match bedding. Grandmother did a custom bedding set for the nursery with prams on it. I made a design and cut it out of fondant and put the pieces together and to dry a bit then I added them to the cake.

Rubber Ducky First Birthday

Fondant Rubber Ducks made with cookie cutter. Bubbles and "1" were painted with pearl dust. The waves behind the topper is covering the smash cake. :-)

Red, White, And Black!

Heart shaped tiers. Iced in white BC. Accented with red fondant band and flowers painted with luster dust; black fondant "vines" and leaves.

Black And White Swirls With Lime Green Bow

Baby shower for Baby C. Top tier is decorated with C's in the design. Baby bedding was black and white damask with lime green accents. Mom picked out the cake; I changed the top design to make it a bit more personal. Fondant bow topper.

Horses!

For a horse themed boy's birthday.

Hot Pink And Purple Zebra!

Mom's requests...hot pink, purple, zebra on every tier. :-/ Decided to make the middle tier slightly different so it would break it up just a bit. BC icing. Fondant zebra stripes, loops and number. The shine on the topper was by accident and would not recommend spraying non-stick cooking spray near your cake. :-)

Golf Course Construction Deer

This was a very quick, Father's Day cake for my husband, FIL, and BIL. They all enjoy deer and Deere (FIL owns a clearing business); Hubby and BIL are golfers. FIL likes pecans. So, this was trying to kill a bunch of birds with one cake! lol Chocolate cake with German Chocolate Icing on one end (excavator end) and plain chocolate on the other (covered in green fondant). The golf course where we live and the one that they play, has deer roaming around so I was able to bring that "like" into the decor too. I called it my "Golf Course Under Construction" Cake. :-) Fondant "green"; cookie crumbs sand, golf themed decorations from Hobby Lobby's dollhouse miniatures section.

Swirls And Dots Graduation

3 tiers of different flavors. Iced in BC. Used a graduation cap cookie cutter for the caps and outlined in BC. Fondant corkers and loops.

Flutterby Butterfly 1St Birthday

Made to match Flutterby Butterfly paper goods. I drew the design for the butterflies and dragonflies myself from looking at the paper goods. Iced in BC. Accented/decorated with fondant. Bottom border- flower cutter and cut each one in half.

Vintage Look And Color Baby Shower

The paper goods had a very sweet, vintage looking painting of a sleeping baby printed on them. I stressed at how to do this cake and then decided just to pick out the dominate colors and go with a simple, elegant style of cake. The blanket in the picture had a simple ruffle on it so I did ruffles on the cake as well. Colors are light peach, pastel yellow and baby blue. Chocolate with cookies and cream filling.

Pinwheels And Dots!

Double-layer, single tiered strawberry cake. Iced in BC. Accented with BC dots. Fondants pinwheels, loops, corkers, and "border". Used a flower cookie cutter for the border and cut each one in half.

Round And Square; Scrolls And Dots!

Four tiers...choc w/ ganache; strawberry with cream cheese; vanilla with pineapple cream cheese; chocolate with cookies and cream. Iced in BC. My own scrolly designs similar to a picture that the bride had. Included a monogram. :-)

Fall Tiered Basketweave With Leaves And Pumpkins

Three tiers of different flavors. Chocolate BC basketweave design. BC leaves in "fall" colors. Candy corn pumpkins. Ornamental pumpkin topper. Perfect for a seasonal cake or for Thanksgiving. TFL!

Ladybug And Flowers Baby Shower

Made to match bedding. Strawberry cake with strawberry/banana pudding filling covered in buttercream and accented with fondant grass blades and buttercream flowers. The ladybug is a strawberry cake covered in fondant. My "antennaes" were long cake candles. :-)

Snowboarding Over The Hill

Made this cake for a snowboarder friend. Included several "age" related signs. :-) Fondant figure, paper signs, chocolate "30". His favorite color is green and he works for Coca-Cola so I used green writing and added a Coca-Cola sign. I dusted the trees with powdered sugar for "snow" and my "caution fencing" is plastic for needle/yarn crafts.

Floral 80Th Birthday!

"Iris" turned 80 so her daughter-in-law asked me to incorporate iris flowers and the "Queen for a Day" theme in the cake decorations. Since it was on short notice, I only had time for a quick royal icing crown. My first RI crown, first iris flowers (don't look too close- ha!), and my first flowers, flowers, flowers cake. Learned alot but thankful that it turned out well. The border is inspired by a CC'er...can't remember who..from England. Saw a thread on here about it.

For Chocolate Lovers! :-)

A birthday celebration for 2 friends. Their requirements were chocolate, chocolate, and chocolate. They were resting from their diet for one night but I thought that I would be kind and add fruit anyway. ;-) Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache, chocolate buttercream, chocolate and white chocolate accents. They said it was divine! Since I'm not THAT into chocolate, I'll just take their word. LOL

Mod Meets Girly! :-)

Aunt, who was hosting and decorating, is a girly, girl....Mom likes more modern and different girly stuff. So, I mixed stripes and polka dots with ruffles and roses! Received the order at the last minute and had a sick baby so things aren't perfect but at least you can get the idea. :-)

At the last minute, I was asked to make a baby shower cake for a friend. So, I did a very simple and quick baby shower cake made to match paper goods. Strawberry cake; buttercream icing

Housewarming Cake With Cookies And Cakies (Cake Balls)!

All covered in chocolate buttercream. The bottom tier is a butter cake with a chocolate buttercream filling, sprinkled with M&M's. The top tier is devil's food with a chocolate buttercream filling. Each tier is top with 3 different flavors of cakies (german chocolate, oreo, and peanut butter). The flowers and sign were added when I arrived to the party.
