Elegant Deer Wedding Cake

Yes, elegant and deer can go together. My niece wanted camo and I wouldn't let her do it. I finally convinced her to replicate the beautiful deer graphic on her invitations. The cake is covered in fondant and the deer head was also fondant. The daisies are gumpaste and the antlers were all piped with buttercream. I did put a camo ribbon around the bottom of the base.

Pink Funky Cake

Strawberry cake with chocolate buttercream filling and funky fondant flowers. I saw the flower design done out of felt and knew it would look gorgeous made from fondant. I made the flowers the first time and the color was too close to the cake color and it just blended in. Redid them with white and that helped them pop out.

Captain America's Shield

For a 12 year boy who loves Captain America. This was made from a 16" cake. Bottom layer was pound cake, top was strawberry. All fondant decorations. It was tough to get the fondant to go under the bottom where I cut the cake back. The dad wanted the shield to have a very wide shallow look like the actual shield did. Fun cake to make, just big.

Purple Anemone Cake In The Rain

Top and bottom tiers are red velvet, middle is vanilla. All buttercream. Gumpaste anemone. It was pouring rain when I delivered it hence the drops on the board and flower. The kind gentleman that was helping me unload it asked if he should carry the cake or the umbrella. "Umbrella? OK, that's good. My balance ain't too good." Hands off my cake Bubba! My second wedding cake.

Smile! It's Summer!

For an end of the school year picnic for our homeschool group called "Smile." All buttercream. The cake is white cake colored in 4 different colors and swirled together. For the tie dye I crumb coated the cake in yellow then started with the purple and made a curvy line. I went back around the purple with pink, then green then blue then filled in any gaps with whatever I had the most icing left. I really like this cake. 1/2 shet cake saize with 8 inch dome cake for the smiley face.

Angry Birds Playable Cake

For my son's 8th birthday. This is a playable Angry Birds cake. The piggie fortress was made from Nutty Bars and fell at least 4 times while I was putting it together at the park. Don't try to go higher than one story if you try this!. We had the chocolate sling shot on the cake but had a real sling shot that we actually shot the birds at the cake to destroy the fortress! Great fun was had by all! Chocolate fudge cake with oreo cookie filling and ganache icing. All figures are fondant or modelling chocolate. One child came to me and said the birds didn't taste very good and handed me the candle with a bite missing. Yeah. Candles aren't so good!

Bethlehem Nativity Cake

I saw this design on here a few weeks ago by lulucrazycakes who borrowed it from someone else and had to come up with an excuse to make it. My icing didn't come out very smooth but otherwise I loved it. For our choir party tonight.
