Hunter's B-Day Cakes

This cake was donated in a silent auction. The winner wanted a b-day cake for her husband who enjoys hunting. Inside is marble cake with chocolate buttercream. The two large rocks on top are cake scraps and buttercream sculpted and covered in fondant. Everything is edible except the feathers. For some reason, the uploaded photo makes the cake look uneven, but it wasn't.

Fall Wedding Cake

My first wedding cake! The bride wanted fall leaves, square and ivory fondant. This is what I came up with. The leaves are all handmade and painted. I used gumpaste for the leaves. I just love how it turned out!

Bucky Badger Groom's Cake

This was made for a friend's groom's dinner. I did eventually add eyes, but forgot to take pics after! I was inspired by a cake by Jenscuppycakery! Thanks for looking!

Baby Shower Cupcakes

My first time making and decorating cupcakes. Up until now, I have just done cakes. All the piping is my first time piping anything fancy!!! I really just wanted practice with different techniques! I am so pleased with how they turned out! The little decorations on top are fondant. Thanks for looking!

Fourth Of July Cake

Happy Fourth of July!!! My first topsy turvy cake. I made this for a party we are throwing tomorrow!! It took me FOREVER and I wanted to smash it on the ground because it caused me so much grief...BUT I LOVE IT!!!!!

White Rose Cake

I made this just for fun. I wanted to try the swirly roses. I also attempted the embroidered look with the top tier. I am happy with it for my first try. I also made the roses on top from fondant.

Stained Glass Cake

I made this cake just for fun and practice. It was my first square cake and I wanted to try painting on fondant. I really love how it turned out, but I got really lazy when it came time to top it with something. I quickly painted some triangles and threw them on there (I don't really like them - oh well!)

Square Black And White Scroll

I made this for fun and practice. It is my very first square cake and first time painting scrolls. The scrolls are hand-painted with gel color and vodka. Flowers are silk.

Sleeping Baby Shower Cake

This was for my best friend's baby shower. This was my first attempt at the quilting effect. I used a ruler and an index card to line up my lines. The back is a little sloppy, but I was very happy with how everything turned out! This was a hard cake to cut because I liked it so much. I sculpted the baby, bottle, blocks and pearly out of fondant. The stars I found at Michaels for $0.39 each!! The ribbon I found at the dollar store! The cake under is yellow cake with chocolate buttercream.

Wedding Dress Cake

I made this for my sister's wedding shower. The cake was made with 4 layers of 8" round cakes and then I carved it down to form the shape of the dress. The bodice is a cheap barbie. I pulled the arms and head off and covered it in black modeling chocolate.

Ufc Birthday Cake

For my friend's husband's 30th birthday! The cage is royal icing. The poles are Oreo Fun Sticks and the rest is fondant.

Tractor Cake

For a little boy! Everything is cake and it is all covered in fondant.

Blue Bow Cake

This was my third cake ever. This was my first attempt at piping anything! And my first attempt at a bow. It turned out pretty well!!

Bachelorette Party Cake

I made this for a friend's bachelorette party. I was really short on time so I used real ribbon and fake flowers and I actually think I will do that more often! It's so much quicker and clean looking! I also used white cake and tinted it pink to match the color scheme.

Oktoberfest Cake

This was made for an Oktoberfest themed birthday. The beer mug is rice krispy treats covered in fondant. The handle is gum paste and it cracked :(

Trendy Baby Shower Cake

I made this for a friend who I teach with. When she was 8 months pregnant she wore zebra striped high heels to school - that was my inspiration along with many cakes on CC. I had a lot of troubles with this cake and learned a lot! The heels are "baby" size and made of gum paste. Everything else is fondant.

Brown And White Flower Cake

There was no category for brown cakes so I put it in the black/white section. This cake contained many firsts for me. First time making chocolate fondant, first time making a 3-tier cake, first time piping decorations. The piping is sloppy - I don't think my consistency was correct and my hand was soooo tired. The fondant crack also. I tried to roll it thin enough to cover all the cakes so I wouldn't have to make another batch - lesson learned.

Spaghetti And Meatball Cupcakes

There are yellow cupcakes underneath. I piped the "noodles" just using a plastic bag with the corner cut off - no rhyme or reason to the piping. Then I piped the "sauce" using a bag with the corner cut off a little larger. The "meatballs" are chocolates I bought at the store and the "parmesan" is grated white chocolate.

Cheeseburger Cupcakes!

I made these after seeing all the cute photos on this website! Thanks for the inspiration! They are yellow cake cupcakes. The "meat" is a chocolate cake ball flattened. The "cheese" is made of white modeling chocolate tinted orange. The "lettuce" is coconut tinted green and the "ketchup" and "mustard" are just buttercream. The burgers are topped with sesame seeds. The "fries" are sugar cookies rolled in sugar. These were fun and easy to make and turned out super cute!!

Baby Cake

This is my 5th cake ever! All the decorations are made of marshmallow fondant except for the duckies - they are modeling chocolate. It was my first time making and working with modeling chocolate. It was super easy to make but hard to work with because I have such warm hands! I love how it looks clean and shiny!

My First Basket Weave!

I wanted to try the basket weave technique, but was too lazy to do anything else!

First Fondant Cake

My first cake EVER!!

50Th Wedding Anniversary Cake

Welcome Back To School!!

This was my first "book cake" and it turned out pretty good!
