First time trying a cigar box. Or cigars period! I think they look funky, but hey- I tried! This cake was coffee flavored with coffee flavored buttercream. Dad is a coffee fanatic and loves his occasional cigars. The lid of the box is fondant covered styrofoam. propping it up was not easy, as you can see I needed a little help. This was my firt time trying a box and lid. The client loved the cake saying it was moist and had the right amount of coffee flavoring :) Thanks for looking!

Red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and fondant and gumpaste accents. The child was turning 1 and a nickname she has is "Ladybug".
Mom 2b requested vanilla with cream cheese frosting. The design was a collaboration between the two of us. Bottom tier is faux as she only wanted a little bit of cake but wanted to make it appear larger. This was a firt for me in the piping department.
A simple Vanilla cake with buttercream. White fondant airbrushed with pearl and silver. All stars are fondant as well. It was made for a party I was supposed to attend, but a bad migraine only allowed me to deliver the cake. I spoke to friends who say the cake was gone before the night was over, but it was the only feedback I got!! I'm hoping that means the cake was yummy!?!
Top tier was red velvet with cream cheese filling, bottom was chocolate with chocolate filling and choc buttercream. All fondant and drages.

This was a cake ordered by a coworker for her birthday. It is a bit of a first for me. It is the first time used the crusting reicpe from CC, thank you to all who shareI am sorry- I did not save the recipe so cannot give proper credit to the crusting buttercream recipe's owner,,,! I thought it would be a disaster for me, and I didn't butcher it too much, I don't think. I loved it as an alternative to MMF and Fondant. I also used the Lmon/Lime Virgin Cocktail reciper (first time too) by Yummyfun3040- I'll have to wait for the feedback from client, but the scraps tasted GOOOOOOOOD! I was out of decorating ideas, but the client likes Daisies, and I was out of white fondant or gumpaste, so I used the yellow and then glazed it and the leaves with a little gold. As requested, this cake had a Cream Cheese filling. I REALLY loved making this simple little cake. :) Thanks to all who share for posting wonderful recipes, and thanks all for looking! :)
My now husband expected an Empire State Building 3D cake. That was my original plan for his cake b/c that is where he proposed. But, wanting to make it more personal and about him, I pulled a fast one on him and tried to replicate his beloved jacket. He wears it ALL the time, and is old and worn out, but it is very dear to him. As requested, chocolate cake with chocolate bavarian cream filling and chocolate butercream. The staff at the venue did not want to share my cake with everyone (only with bridal party), but I made sure they did. I got rave reviews from wedding guests and boasted that my cake tasted better than the wedding cake (done by a BIG name baker). That was a compliment that shot me to the sky!!! I want to extend my gratitude to Pyxxydust for really helping me out. I give you all the credit for the idea, and my forever thanks in allowing me to use it. And for the great unselfish help!!! I hope I made you proud! Even the geusts at the venue thought the wedding cake creator made the groom's cake...can I say I fell warm and fuzzy? Yes! I'm very rpoud of this one.
Two tiers. Marble cake. Buttercream filling and dyed buttercream on bottom tier. Coconut trees and sea creatures, treasure chest are all fondant. Light house is a sugar ice cream cone covered in fondant. The sand is a mixture of chai tea and confectionars sugar. A very sweet cake! I really enjoyed making this one. Client was super happy with it too!
For a child's 9th birthday. I was disapointed because I did not have the right tool and my diamond pattern is lopsided. But child and mother were happy with the cake. So was everyone else :) . I think I was happier with the cake as I added more details. The topper and figurines were provided by the Mom, and I added shimmer as Tinkerbell's "pixie dust". choc and Vanilla with buttercream icing. I did get a lot of inquiries about my cakes!!
For a friend's birthday. She loves designer purses. I was going for a Juicy Cutour Purse, but the edible paper and I were not having a good time and it would not blend in with the fondant...it was not from a printer, but store bought and I hand drew the Juicy logo...anyways- I decided to avoid potential error and I added her innitials. She loved it and so did I...considering this is my first cake purse!!! I looked on CC for ideas and I came up with this one. From my first cake to this one I am seeing improvements. :) Chocolate cake with creamcheese fillingfand cream cheese icing, covered in fondant. TFL
Inspired by another cake on CC by jackieLowson, this cake was for an African American themed celebration at a school. It was for the entire staff of the school and no one wanted to cut into it! When they finally did, I was told it was delicious. Chocolate with Bavarian Cream filling. Three tiers, bottom zebra is black and white fondnt, middle tier is dyed fondant with hand painted leopard print, and top tier came from the inspirational cake on CC...dyed fondant and hand painted African savannah scene....jackieLowson did a MUCH better job piping hers. I hope that immitation is considered flattery in this case!!! I was disappointed at the fact that it was a little lopsided...I love the way my Africa turned out at the top.TFL!!
For an office Party, this sheet cake is chocolate with cream filling and the poinsettia and the ribbons are fondant. Buttercream icing.
This was for a client that wanted something different. The couple left it up to me to come up with the idea. I coordinated the colors with the invitation to the baby Shower (shown). Vanilla, Chocolate and Marble cakes with fondant and fondant accents. This was my first attempt at a gift bag cake.
Vanilla and chocolate two tiered cake for a one year old's birthday party. Was told that cake was delicious and went perfectly with the decor. The mom of the child provided the figurines and candles. All covered in fondant and characters made of fondant as well. In retrospect, I have had many more ideas for a Sesame Street cake, and I like those better! LOL
Simple, vanilla and chocolate cake covered in white fondant with patterns pressed in. Painted patten with edible silver paint. made this one for a girl's birthday.
My family's Christmas Cake. The base is cake and I used the sports ball mold for the top part. Cake is vanilla with BC, covered into two layers of fondant to create snow and sky. Snowballs falling are painted in edible shimmer and smoke from the house chimney was painted on with food coloring. This was a very hard cake to cover in fondant. But it's one of my favorites I've made.
