Frosty's Winter Wonderland
Christmas cake commissioned for a Government Department holiday potluck - 9 inch white butter cake filled with fresh raspberry mousse and decorated with a vanilla whipped buttercream. Snowman, trees and polka dots are all hand-piped chocolate. Trees are brushed with green luster dust and top of cake was sprinked with edible glitter. White chocolate shavings complete the scene as freshly fallen snow. Design adapted from the Whimsical Bakehouse. One of the funnest cakes I have ever done! Thank you for looking!

Football Jersey - Dallas Cowboys
Birthday cake commissoned for a huge Tony Romo fan. Was such a big hit that the Birthday boy actually went and changed into his jersey!! :D Banana and chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache, buttercream, and white chocolate chunks/shavings. Cake covered and accented with fondant - a mixture of MMF with Satin Ice. Pearl border done in buttercream and signature handpainted. New to decorating so this was my first jersey/shirt cake...really pleased with the results! :D

Coo Coo For Coconut Choco-Cuppies
Based on the famous cupcake from Joan's on Third in NY which I saw on a television show. They just looked so good I *had* to give them a whirl!! - Chocolate cupcake with cream cheese icing swirled on top and then rolled in flaked coconut. They were seriously to die for!

Everything's Coming Up Daisies!
My first tiered cake - commissioned for a very special lady's 80th Birthday party with 40 attendees. I can't even tell you how nervous I was!! Thankfully, however, it turned out well and everyone loved it *whew*. Both tiers (and dome top) are Chocolate Mocha Cake iced in buttercream with Bailey's filling, daisies are fondant with tylose, polka dots are straight up fondant and border is ribbon. Inspiration from cc. Thanks for looking!!

*dasch*ing Dachshund
Just a quick cake I whipped up to celebrate my Dachshund's 2nd Birthday. His name is Dasch, and yes, he did have a small party with some of his Dachshund Club friends :D LoL Cake is pumpkin chocolate chip iced with buttercream. Fondant accents - cookie cutter used for side dogs and freehand cutting for Dachshund on top. Thanks for looking!

Banana Split Sundae Cake
My second attempt at 3D style cakes...and what a blast to make! All cake except for the cherries which are straight fondant (colored stamens brown to make the sticks). The banana was created using crumbled cake mixed with buttercream icing...same concept as cake truffles. Fondant is Satin Ice. Devil's Food with Oreos & Cream filling. Best of all, however, it was adored by the Birthday girl! :D

Toy Story 2 Alien
My second cake decorating experience as a Wilton course 1 student. This cake was commissioned for a little boys birthday party. Image of the Toy Story alien came from a coloring book page and the cake was fully decorated with buttercream. The star was filled in with Wilton yellow sugar sparkles.
