Fun little cake done for one of my kid's favorite teachers. French Vanilla cake with yellow buttercream and fondant accents. TFL
This cake was made for my old nephew and new niece's wedding. I had license to do what I wanted but she liked buttercream ruffles and swirl roses. I added the sparkly sugar coated, fondant draped tier to separate them some and accented with a silver heart locket (like bride's necklace) and sparkly hello kitty bow. The decor was cream and white with blue Gumpaste roses, calla lilies and yellow filler flowers which were fashioned to look like bouquets. I had some leaning problems but overall it turned out okay. TFL.
A billiard cake for my nephew Jake when he married his bride Amanda. I asked my Jake, what flavor will you take and he replied CHOCOLATE I DEMAND... DUH! LOL Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and chocolate buttercream.. Pool balls made from gumballs with gumpaste accents, Cue sticks are bamboo chopsticks. Plaque made of gumpaste with Jake the Snake per the brides instruction.
This cake was for my daughter's best friend Maegans birthday. She just wanted a simply iced chocolate on chocolate cake but I used the opportunity to practice for a wedding cake that I had coming up to see how the swirl roses and ruffles would look together. It didnt turn out like I wanted it to look but Maegan loved it so everything was all good!!! Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icicng and fondant/gumpaste mixed decorations. TFL!!
Made for my lil friend Payton for a surprise birthday party. Her mom just told me she liked music, her guitar, softball and flowers and that her colors were lime green, bright blue and black. Bottom tier has her name on music notes with a guitar and top has a gumpaste softball nestled in a bed of flowers. Buttercream on vanilla cake with fondant/gumpaste mixed accents. TFL!
Spiral (Nightmare) cake for a fellow who retired from my office. Theme of the cake was based on his repeated statement that he and his wife were going to hit the road on his camper as soon as he retired. This was my first spiral cake and was supposed to have a camper at the top in between the trees instead of the "Als New Duty Station" sign. What can I say about this gem, the icing never crusted, the carving was horrible, the toppings were all out of scale... I did like the pond and the cattails (which were supposed to be on top, bad planning on my part) at least Al liked it, but he just wanted cake to eat so what can I say... I let him eat cake!
A two tier birthday cake for my great-niece Emily. Top Tier is zebra striped inside and bottom is french vanilla, both covered in buttercream. Emily wanted girly things like high heels, nail polish and makeup on her cake with a pink, black and zebra striped color palette. She was very happy with all the ruffles and bow but her favorite was the shoe (my first). Thanks for Looking!
Yellow Cake with buttercream "pizza sauce" and loaded with fondant toppings. Yum
This was my first swirl rosette cake. I made it for the anniversary of my friend Katys boutique opening. It is a two layer square half chocolate, half vanilla cake covered in white chocolate buttercream. It has a stamped fondant bow and candy melt gift card plaque that was hand painted with black candy melt to look like her store logo.
This is a cake I did for my friend Tina to match her Paisley Whimsical Owl Baby Shower Invites. All decorations are fondant and the cake is covered in creme brulee buttercream. Although the owl and paisley parts turned out to look a lot like the invites, and the baby was adorable (especially the toes, see other view), I liked the pacifier too but that dadgum bow broke on me traveling to the site to set it up and the buttercream never really crusted leaving me with a messy finish. I know it looks busy but it really did match the invites, cupcake toppers, sucker covers, and water bottles that she ordered. Tina was pleased about the overall cake and thought it was just cute as a button but that Bow just made me feel bad. I just may be too OCD to ever be satisfied with my work. Thanks for looking though.
This was my first attempt at an ombre petal cake for my friend Ambers baby shower. It is a three layer vanilla cake filled with cream cheese icing and decorated with graduating buttercream colors from white to dark pink and a zebra fondant "ruffle" at the bottom. Sitting on top is big fondant flower with a zebra baby sitting upon it. I had a little trouble with the zebra but was proud of the fondant flowers, they are better than I have ever accomplished. In the second pic you will see the cinna bon cuppie cakes with cream cheese icing and cinnamon swirl glaze because Amber craved cinabons during her whole pregnancy.
This was my first attempt at the ruffle cake. I made a pink one for my breast cancer surviving, 67 year old, three times a week kickboxing, Jesus lovin mother. It was cream brulee buttercream icing on a six inch, two layer vanilla cake with pink roses on top and ruffled sides . Thanks for looking.
Done for my friend Hollie's Groom Kevin. Yellow butter cake with milk chocolate buttercream, dark/white/milk chocolate strawberries and fondant bridephant, groomphant and Bama A.
Cake requested by my nephew Mark for his wife Mandy for her birthday. He asked for a pink and zebra striped cake. I don't think he quite knew what to do with it when he picked it up and I think he was a little scared it would fall over and crash. ha ha.. Chocolate cake with fudge filling, all buttercream except zebra, rolled roses and stripes. This was my first attempt at a Topsy Turvy and it came out okay, the top cake wasnt quite crooked enough but all in all I think it was good for a first try. Thanks for looking.
This cake was requested for my niece from her friends. They were going to the Olive Garden to celebrate her birthday. They had spaghetti and meatball cupcakes to go with it. This was my first purse cake and it turned out pretty well. Done with a six in round pan, chocolate cake and fudge filling, buttercream and fondant outside. Lipstick and nail polish was fondant. Spaghetti and meatballs cupcakes were chocolate with buttercream noodles, sixlet meatballs and strawberry jam marinara.

Brittanys Baby Shower Baby with Bassinette. Vanilla cake with buttercream, bassinette frosted in buttercream with fondant baby and blanket. I cheated a little as I used a deli container for the lid of the bassinette and just frosted it in buttercream but everything else was edible. Made for a sister-in-law for her sisters baby shower in 2009? Loved the baby toes in this one!
A cake for Whitneys baby shower. My favorite is the baby toes under the blanket. Vanilla Cake with Buttercream Icing, Fondant Dots and Baby details. Modeled upon a cake done earlier for Whitneys twin sister Brittanys baby shower cake.
Octopus on Coral cake for my nephew Cooper. A terrible experience in fondant as I am an AMATEUR...he did resemble the water sprinkler octopus at the center of the party's theme. O well, the octopus is a confection of rice krispie treats and twizzler candy legs draped in a sheet of marbled under-the-sea blue fondant. He sits upon a bed of coral consisting of a butterscotch pound cake (yummy) frosted in cream cheese icing. The bottom cake is vanilla with buttercream icing, adorned with fondant cutouts of under the sea creatures, seaweed and shells.
This pack of Skittles was made by my daughter and me for her friend who is nicknamed Skittles. It is 100% edible, only cake, skittles, colored twizzlers, and Fondant & Buttercream icing...taste the rainbow!!!!
