Icing Smiles Dream Cake For Little Girl On Hospice
This is a princess and castle themed cake for a little girl who has had leukemia for four years and is now on hospice. She is celebrating her 7th birthday. The bottom 18" tier is a marble Grand Fudge and Butter cake, the hand carved pillow tier is Grand Fudge filled with our fresh chocolate ganche and covered in chocolate buttercream. It is imprinted with the Wilton floral/heart mat on top and airbrushed with Americolor pink sheen. The top tier is our butter cake with buttercream imprinted with Sugarcraft's cobblestone mat and airbrushed with a mixture of Americolor pearl sheen, sky blue, lavender, and jet black. Every single part of the cake is entirely edible with the minor exception of the wires holding up the flags and the Disney Sleeping Beauty topper on the little princess cake. She is surrounded with a ruffle made with a gumpaste and a garrett cutter rather than the typical tip 104 buttercream ruffle. The crown is cut with a Cricut from the Cake Basics cartridge and airbrushed with Americolor gold sheen. The gems are made from Wilton's new silicone boroque mold and than brushed with piping gel and covered in holographic disco dust. The entire cake is than covered in holographic disco dust to look like it is magically covered in tiny diamonds (which cannot be seen with the camera lens but were stunning in person). The board is imprinted with Wilton's vine mat and than airbrushed with Americolor green sheen and covered in FondX and hand made fondant flowers which are all over every tier of the four cakes. The little shoe is hand molded out of gumpaste, painted with piping gel and then poured with raspberry disco dust so that it looks like diamonds as well.

Trailing Cala Lily Cake
This cake is our Grand Marnier with our fresh lemon curd. It is covered in trailing chains of stephanotis, cala lilies, babies breath, stephanotis buds, apple blossom buds, wired ribbons, small lights, and vines. The topper is filled with the same flowers all covered in mother of pearl luster dust. The lily centers are dusted thickly with a lemon yellow luster dust to appear like falling pollen, along with a disco dust on each hand made leaf to give them a fairy tale appearance. The giant lilies at the bottom were cut with a 6" heart shaped cake pan. The entire floral work was made so that it could be removed in only two pieces, the topper and the chains, and laid upon the table as a center piece while the cake was cut. It is fondanted with hand colored sage green FondX rolled on shortening to give it is shiny appearance which reflected the lights in the floral chains beautifully.

Rotary Adventure Playground Charity Auction Cake
This is a Dulce De Leche cake torted into three tiers with our homemade caramel filling, our chocolate ganache filling, and our Dulce De Leche filling made from scratch. It is an exact replica of parts of the park that the Rotary Club in our community built for the children in our area. Even the gazebo is copied down to the color matching and exact number of shingles on the gazebo. It brought in the largest bid for the Rotary Dessert Dash Auction that night to raise money for their next community project.

Ducati Cake
This is a huckleberry champagne cake with huckleberry filling. It is hand sculpted to look just like the ducati logo and the owner's key was reproduced to literally fit his motorcycle out of gumpaste and Satin Ice and painted with moonstone and Nu Silver luster dusts. The sides are painted with Moonstone and Black Charcoal for a quicky carbon fiber look as a true carbon fiber look was not in the budget for this cake. It is all red and black Satin Ice Fondant. The key ring is a perfect circle without a 'weld' by cutting a medium and then medium small circle out of the same piece of gumpaste and them shaping it to look like molded metal and covering in Nu Silver luster dust.
