This cake was for a girl's webkinz party. I got the names of all her webkinz animals and made those animals on the cake personal to her. The fence around the edge was to make it girly. This was my first try at buttercream image transfer and I loved how it turned out (the Webkinz logo on cake).
I was given a party theme and came up with these vibrant colors to put on the cookies after I found this cute tin to put the cookies in.
I did this for a veteren that was in the hospital. It gave me some practice for the 4th of July cookies I hope to get a lot of orders for this year. :)
I did this cake for a cake walk, but it would also be a good baby shower cake or bridal shower cake using the colors of the bride or baby room. This was my first attempt at doing a fondant bow on top of the cake. It flopped and didn't turn out as good as I would have liked, but I'll try again.
Here is a different side to the cake that shows Thomas' face.
This is a cake I did for my sister's baby shower. The theme for the baby room is rainforest. I used two 6" round cakes with buttercream icing. Trees and leaves and flowers are fondant. animals are all icing.
Please view my other 3 images of this cake/cupcake cake. The waterfall is made with piping gel colored blue over white buttercream icing. The animals were made using fondant. The palm trees are pretzel sticks with fondant leaves. The cupcakes are all buttercream icing with fondant letters. Diego and the alligator are toys.
I used the Williams Sonoma stadium cake pan and the recipe that comes with the pan and buttercream icing. This was a huge hit at our Superbowl party. The 4 corners were decorated to resemble a parking ramp with white icing and black lines from side to side about 1/4" apart.
Here are some Alabama Roll Tide Cookies
I had a special request for a birthday cake with a balance beam on it with both chocolate and vanilla cake. It is fun to be creative. So, the bottom layer is chocolate and the top layer is vanilla with buttercream icing. The icing between the 2 layers is chocolate buttercream and the little girls and balance beam are all made from fondant.
I did this for boss day. We have 29 attorneys on the floor I work on so for our big floor party, I decided to do a cake that had every attorney's name on it. Coming up with the design was much more difficult than making the cake. It was a huge hit. I have also posted a picture of the side view.
Here is my first firs groom's cake. The groom is a huge Alabama fan so I tried to do something very unique and creative. He loved the cake. Carving out a cake is not as hard as I imagined it would be. It was actually quite easy. This cake is made up of 8 sheet cakes (4 stacked 2 high) and then carved out to make the Alabama logo.
This is my very first wedding cake. The bride wanted dolphins as the cake topper, which is made out of fondant, and I decided to add a waterfall (fondant) coming from top tier to side tier to bottom tier and finish it off with a small pool of water at the bottom with palm trees and some rocks and another dolphin jumping out of water (all made with fondant). The real water fountain under the cake topped it off. View my other pictures to see close ups of each tier and a close up of the waterfall.
I made the pins and the big ball out of wood. The floor is fondant and the rest of the cake is buttercream icing. The small bowling balls are gum balls. I had a lot of fun making this cake.
These make great goodies to put in Easter baskets.
Here is another one of my Carolina Tarheels cakes.
I created this one by using cupcakes so it would be easy for my son's teachers. Much more difficult than I expected, but the final product was worth it.
Here is a tray of cookies I put together for the YMCA party.
