Mexican 50Th Anniversary Cake
For a traditional Mexican wedding, the bridegrroom presents the bride with 13 coins and they are bound together with a double lasso. For this 50th anniversary cake, my friend wanted these traditions symbolized on his parent's cake. The fall leaves were requested because the couple loves the NC fall colors when they visit. Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and fondant. Thanks for looking.

Jeni's Happy Cake
This cake is for my niece's 29th birthday. She calls it her "Happy Cake". She quite often helps me in the wee hours of the morning with cakes, so I thought I would make one for her. Jeni chose the design. It's leaning and the fondant did not cooperate, but I love it. White choc 6 inch rounds with fondant and sugar on top. Thanks for looking.

Flowers For Sr. Catherine
Made for Sr. Catherine who resigned as the principal from my daughters' school. She loves flowers, so she got a flower cake. It was inspired by so many pretty CC cakes, but specifically by "iheartcakegf". Chocolate cake with fudge icing, fondant/gumpaste decorations. Thanks for looking.

Baseball Hat
Baseball hat cake for my nephew's 6th birthday. He wanted a sports puppy cake. Cake is white choc with MFF. I didn't make the brim ahead of time so there is a card stock support under it. The baseball is cake with MFF. The puppy was made of MFF by my niece. This was fun, but a challenge. It's hard to get the proportions correct. (The brim is a little large.) Thanks for looking.

Firefighter's Helmet
Firefighter helmet cake for a sweet 4 year old. I attempted to follow the excellent directions on the "DDpiesSlice" blog. I had to leave out many details and the cakes were 8" instead of 10". Everything is fondant except for the gum paste letters on the shield. This was fun, but challenging. Thanks for looking.

Tree Cake And Cupcakes
I made the cake and cupcakes for the back-to school teacher luncheon. Thank you teachers! The trees were inspired by a beautiful "chikadodle" cake. I learned a lot from this cake. I now know why you let a covered cake rest (and harden) for a few hours before decorating. The blue was (almost) perfect. The trees were so heavy that they pulled the blue down and caused waves. Live and learn. Thanks for looking.

Sunflower Cake
This was a chocolate cake with raspberry jam and choc icing. Fondant on the cake and the flower is half/half fondant and gum paste. My customer wanted a sunflower cake for her daughter's birthday. I loved the cake by "Kitagrl" and thought I would give it a try. I have limited experience, but thought I did pretty well. Thanks to my niece for helping. Thanks for looking.
