Timmy Time
This is a Timmy Time birthday cake I did for a friend's daughter. A 6" cake with 2 doz. cupcakes. Timmy and his teddy was the special request. Timmy was sculpted from fondant and the wool was piped with royal icing. We took extra care to make the side of the cake look like the set of the Timmy Time show, we watched the opening scene over and over again.

Peek-A-Boo Choo Choo
My first paid cake! I had so much fun with this cake! For a special little girl's first birthday. When I asked about a theme for the cake the client brought me her favorite toy and this is what I came up with. My artistic husband helped me by custom making the train template and hand painting all the faces.

Strawberry Basket
Golden Butter cake with strawberry cream filling and chocolate buttercream frosting. I made this cake for my mother-in-law's birthday. I was follow another picture from the Wilton site. I used the chocolate buttercream recipe from Wilton and didn't like it at all. Both the texture and the flavor were off to me. I want a more real chocolate taste and the texture of regular buttercream frosting. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Esther's Birthday Cake
4 layer chocolate cake with whipped cream filling and "extra special" butter cream frosting. This cake was done with the help of a special little girl who was turning 9 and wanted to decorate a cake with me. She picked out a picture we followed from the Wilton book. Not too bad for a quick cake, it gave me a chance to practice my roses.

This was a very big project but well worth it. My daughter's first birthday is the reason I got back into cake decorating. Main cake is chocolate with buttercream covered in MMF. The flowers and butterflies are a 50/50 store bought fondant and gum paste mix with royal icing details. The cupcakes are yellow cake with strawberry cream filling and buttercream frosting.
