I won 1st place for this fair cake entry. So excited! Everything is edible except for the scarecrow. Didn't have time to make the scarecrow so added this one, which I thought added a bit of different texture. Works for me. The cake is yellow butter cake with fondant figures and buttercream icing. Thanks so much for looking!
This cake I made for a very beautiful little girl who was adopted into her family. She was badly burned as a baby, but you wouldn't be able to tell her that, she is a very brave little girl who is like any other little girl. She just wants to play and have fun. To Luci, Love you!
My 2012 Fair cake entry for my local community. I wanted to incorporate different things from the fair. The bottom layers represents the food, hence the popcorn. The middle layer represents the animals, hence the cow and the pig on the side in the mud. The top layer represents Fall. My favorite part is the fence on the top tier. I wanted to incorporate my family into the cake, so I made it look like our initials were carved into the fence. Thanks for looking! This cake won 1st place!
This was my 1st Topsy Turvy cake, which my daughter helped me stack. I made it for my friend's granddaughter's 1st birthday. Buttercream icing with fondant accents. Bottom tier is yellow butter cake. The rest of the tiers are dark chocolate.
A very dear friend of mine asked me to make a cake for her parent's 50th anniversary celebration. She gave me free reign and this is the design I came up with.
I made this for a wonderful long time friend of mine. It was a surprise wedding anniversary that her soon to be daughter in law gave for them. It was an awesome surprise! The cake is my yellow butter cake with buttercream icing and fondant accents. I was trying to model this cake after my most recent cake before that, which was the 50th Wedding Anniversary cake I made for my in-laws. My buttercream icing wasn't as smooth and nice, but the couple was happy with the end result. Thanks for looking!
Made this for our annual Halloween/Costume party. It ended up being my daughter's best friends birthday cake. Her birthday is on Halloween and she couldn't make it to the party, so we saved the cake for her birthday. Had fun doing this cake. Buttercream with fondant accents. Pumpkins and Cat are fondant. Candy corn and candy pumpkins also.
I made this for my wonderful in-laws 50th Wedding Anniversary Reception. It took me 3 days, but it was worth every minute. This is one of my fave cakes to date because it was so special. Buttercream icing with fondant flowers.
I made this cake for our county fair. I won first place for this entry. I wanted to incorporate fair themed items into cake. The candy apples are hand dipped. This was my first attempt at making a cow. Some people thought it was a pig, so I call it a cow pig, LOL! This was also my first attempt at making popcorn out of marshmallows. I was pleased with the outcome. Buttercream icing with fondant accents.
I made this cake for my cousin's baby shower. She had little Sophia early, so she didn't get to make the shower, but we still had it and her sister opened the gifts. This is yellow butter cake with buttercream icing and fondant accents. I made it to match the invitations.
I made this for the daughter of a special friend of mine. She wanted camoflage and polka dots. My daughter sketched it out for me. The mom also wanted to add a pink rifle, and my daughter also made the rifle. This was my first attempt at camo, so next time I can do better. My fave part of the cake was the monogram, which actually took a good bit of time. I had fun doing this cake. Chocolate cake with chocolate chips and buttercream icing. Fondant accents. TFL!
I made this cake for my friend's daughter in law who is having a baby boy any day now! This was my first attempt at fondant animals. The zebra is my favorite. I made them to match up to the baby bedding. Yellow butter cake with buttercream icing and fondant accents. 12, 8, and 6 inch.
I made this for my friends daughter in law who is having a baby boy this month, any day now. She just had her 1st granddaughter and now she is having a grandson just a few months later. Yellow butter cake with all buttercream icing with fondant accents. The animals were my first attempt at fondant animals. My neice made the fondant elephant and it took her about 5 minutes. She's never done it before and she's only 12. Thanks for looking everyone!
I made this for my friend's daughter in law who is having a baby girl named Nicole in a few weeks. My daughter made the fondant figures (she does really well with those), and we both gave her a baby shower including the cake and a diaper cake. The theme was the Fisher Price Forest Rainforest animals. She loved it! She didn't want to cut it.
I made this Tinkerbell cake for my 4 year old Granddaughter. I've always wanted to make a Tinkerbell cake and this was a great opportunity. My daughter helped and she made the big mushroom on top with rice crispy treats and fondant. My Granddaughter also pitched in and placed some flowers and bees on the wire. She did a great job and she's only 4. She loved it and it was so much fun to bake. Yellow and chocolate cake layers with buttercream icing and fondant accents.
I started entering my baked goods in the fair in 2009, and since then my cakes for decorated cake category have won. It's a little town, but it's still exciting to win. I also enter cookies, candy, other cakes, etc. and have won blue ribbons for those as well. I love baking and it's fun to have people to share it with. Thanks for looking!
I was asked to do an Anniversary cake to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our Pastor and his wife being at our church. I was honored to do it. It came out better than I had expected. They loved it and that's all that counts. Thanks for looking! I'm always willing to listen to constructive criticism so I can improve on my cakes, so please feel free. Thanks everyone!

I had an idea in my head of how I wanted to make an Easter cake for our family gathering. I told my daughter what I wanted and she sketched it out for me. She did a great job and this is the outcome.

The cake layers are strawberry, key lime, and yellow butter cake frosted with buttercream and accented with fondant. Thanks for looking.
