This cake was made for the Bride and Groom's rehearsal party. The groom wanted me to do their wedding cake, but the bride wasn't interested in a home baker making their cake for their special day, so they went with the hotel pastry chef. I was told many times that my cake was nicer and far tastier! Good for the ego...ha ha ha. I made the bride and groom in casual clothes since it was just for the rehearsal. The monogram on the front was inspired by their wedding invitations.
This cake was made for the grand opening of a friend's new pet supply and dog wash business. The cake is a 3D replica of their logo.
The mom wanted plenty of whipped chocolate buttercream on her daughter's smash cake to capture a truly messy baby in the pictures.
This was a wedding cake for a couple getting married at the lighthouse. Lighthouse - cereal treats, modelling chocolate and fondant. Lollipop for the light. Vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream filling. Fondant coloured to replicate the PEI "red mud" cliffs, and loose rocks. Blue buttercream with 1M tip for crashing waves. Green buttercream with grass tip for grass.

vanilla cake baked in large pyrex bowl. Red buttercream icing piped with fur/grass tip. Rice krispie party hat covered in fondant. Fondant balloons.
Made this for my daughter's sweet sixteen. She wanted Jack, the dog, the moon, the mountain and the town on the cake. A tall order, but with my airbrush I think I made it work and tied it all together.
Made this cake for my daughter's best friend's birthday. She loves the Twilight series and my daughter one element from each of the 4 books on the cake. It was such a small cake (6") that it was a challenge, but I think it worked! I used my new airbrush to paint the fondant black isntead of making black fondant...something I will definitely do again!
This is the Pink Champagne cake with the raspberry cheesecake mousse filling. To die for, by the way! I added a little raspberry flavouring to the fondant...since it was bright pink already! The birthday girl loved it.
Loved making the 3D Mario and Luigi from fondant, and all the other characters and design elements on the side of the cake. The birhday boy loved it...and wanted to eat M&L as soon as possible! ha ha ha
I made this cake for one of my Wilton cake decorating classes. I used homemade dark chocolate fondant and created a "fantasy" blue and brown flower from gumpaste. We learned how to do scalloped borders in class, so I added that to the cake, too!
I made this cake for myself. My birthday landed on the very night we had to make a cake at my class. We were learning basketweave, so I gave it a try! The flowers are royal icing flowers we made in class the week before.
Blue marbled fondant and buttercream flowers.
This was made for a boy who loves the Senators. The logo is an inset fondant plaque (very time consuming!).
My mom loves yellow roses, so I decided to give them to her...in cake! Brown basketweave (my second attempt!) and yellow buttercream roses (some are sloppy, but not as noticeable since they are all close together).
This cake was made to tell the receipient she as going to Cuba (un plage t'attend means a beach awaits you). She was thrilled, by both the cake and the surprise trip! The water is blue and white icing mixed gently. The sand is made of vanilla cookies, turbinado sugar and demerera sugar. The shells are white chocolate from molds, and the hibiscus is my first-ever gumpaste flower!
This was made for a little boy who loves Scooby Doo. The scooby face is made from fondant. I made a plaque basically by layering and insetting fondant pieces. The other fondant pieces were just layered on the cake.
This was made ofr a little girl's first birthday party. The butterfly and "1" are made from fondant and gumnpaste blend. The blocks were made from cereal treats and covered in fondant. They were the birthday girl's favourite part of the cake and she played with them for quite a while. The smaller cake was for the birthday girl to have for her very own.
This is a sheep cupcake that I made at my Wilton Course One class.
Green buttercream frosting with green buttercream grass. Fondant cows and horses (to match the birthday boy's own). Fondant sign and "70" on front.
I am very hesitant to post this photo because I still so new at this, and there are a lot of flaws in my work still. This is the Pink Champagne cake with raspberry cheesecake mousse (both recipes on CC) that is covered in pink fondant. I used a 50/50 gumpaste and fondant mixture for the girl. Since it was my first time using the mixture, I was unused to how quickly it begins to harden and I ended up with wrinkles. I think I would cut back on the gumpaste a little next time...and learn to work a little quicker! It was fun. The inspiration came from a similar cake that I found from Ayes's cakes on Google images...so I can't take the credit for the design. That is a towel on her head with some black curly hair spilling out at her neck, and there are hot stones on her back.
I can't take any credit for the design of this cake as I saw the idea on Wilton's website last year. I wasn't sure how difficult it would be, but it was really fun. It is a yellow cake with buttercream icing and white fondant. Then I cut out the hearts from six colours of fondant and applied them to the white fondant. I would line up the cookie cutter and cut out a part of the heart before adding the next one...then repeat. My daughter used a food writer marker to add the writing.
This is my VERY FIRST EVER attempt at using fondant! It is a cake I made for my daughter's 13th birthday. She loves horses, and wanted them on her cake. So, I modelled them out of fondant (you can't see their cute bushy and swishy tails behind them) and placed them on a chocolate cake covered in buttercream and grassy green fondant. I used some tootsie rolls (rolled and kneaded until soft) wrapped around toothpicks (the sticky Tootsie rolls acted as glue) to create a fence for the background. Then I added some buttercream grass and scattered flower sprinkles in the grass. She loved it, and it inspired me to practice with fondant!
