Team Old Geezers!
Client requested a cake that was both an over- the- hill cake and a football theme since the 40th birthday party was also a super bowl party. So this is what I came up with. Cake is covered in fondant. Football player was made from gumpaste. His cane is gumpaste airbrushed silver. The 'stadium' is cake covered in fondant. Sponsor signs were handpainted on fondant. This was so fun to make....especially since the client was my sister and the birthday boy was my brother in law, so I got to see the look on his face when I made the delivery! Thanks for looking

Ben 10
This is a Ben 10 birthday cake I made for my son. The Ben 10 character was made out of gumpaste. The buildings are gumpaste. The cakes are covered in fondant. The bottom black tier and the yellow tier were covered in Fondarific. I wanted to try it out to see if it was better than Satin Ice or MMF....the taste was maybe a tad better than the MMF, but it was much more difficult to get smooth on the cake versus satin ice or MMF. The blue cake was covered in white satin ice fondant, then airbrushed a combo of navy blue, light blue and silver sheen. The planet was RKT, covered in marbled MMF, then airbrushed with a combo of black and silver sheen. Overall I was pleased with how the cake turned out....even though I had to change the design on the bottom tier to cover the folds in the fondant that I couldn't get smoothed out (I will never use fondarific again!) bottom tier was chocolate fudge cake filled with vanilla buttercream , crushed oreos,chocolate fudge mousse middle tier was white cake with white chocolate raspberry filling top tier was mint chocolate chip cake filled with crushed mint oreos and fudge buttercream

Monogram Anniversary Cake
This cake was for my pastor and his wife for their 30th anniversary. The cake was a butter cake with chocolate fudge buttercream, covered in black fondant. The border is fondant pressed with a lace pattern. This was my first time making sugar flowers. I just love the look of the anemone flower, it is so modern and chic. I used my cricut for the letters. I loved how this turned out!

Abby Cadabby
this is a MMF covered cake. The decorations are mostly gumpaste, used airbrush machine to color the butterflies and stars, used the sheen colors. This is my first time making an abby cadabby. She is made of gumpaste and was very tedious to make. In all, it took me about 5 hours to make her (I changed her hair 3 times before I came up with the final look)

Baby Shower Cake
First time ever making the shoes. Had some trouble, but now know what to do & what not to do for next time. Cake is dark chocolate fudge cake with mint buttercream,chocolate mousse filling with Andes mint pieces folded into the mousse. This was for a friend who has been trying to adopt and had been waiting for 3 years. They received their first adopted baby in March (a little girl)....then a baby boy came their way 3 months later! How crazy is that?!

Black And White Damask
I made this wedding cake for free for a friend. This was my first wedding cake. I had alot of trouble with this cake. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. Due to the different problems, I had to change the design of the cake. I actually liked the end result better than the original design. I was very pleased with it and the bride and groom were blown away!

Life Stages Themed Birthday Cake
This was made for my husband's grandfather. The family requested I incorporate different elements of his life on the cake. The bottom tier represents his time in the Army, as a 66th Infantry Black Panther officer. The middle tier represents his career as a barber. The top tier represents his favorite hobby of gardening. The topper is a sculpture of his pet, a Yorkie, which he loves very much! All cakes were covered in MM fondant. The decorations were made of various mediums: royal icing, gumpaste, modeling fondant, and regular MM fondant. It was a HUGE hit!

Peppermint Mocha Latte
This cake is in the shape of a mug. The cake is covered in marbled chocolate MMF, with mocha buttercream on the top to resemble a mocha latte. Buttercream was used for the "whipped cream" topping. The cake is a fudge cake layered with mocha buttercream, and peppermint buttercream with Jr mints. This was my first time creating a cake to resemble an object.
