Jeep Anniversary Cake
When my niece asked me to make her a cake with a Jeep to resemble hers on top, I had to admit I panicked a little. Had no idea how I was going to make a Jeep. Luckily I found Liz Marek’s RKT cake tutorial on Youtube. Took some of her tips and this is what I came up with. I forgot the side mirrors but when I realized it I didn’t want to mess with it any more. Pretty happy with the result. Cake is coconut/pineapple curd filling/coconut SMBC & MMF. Also decided to practice modeling & made the couple. Doesn’t quite look like them but…..

Birthday Cake For My Sister It Is A White Cake With Just A Hint Of Orangemango Curd Fillingsour Cream White Chocolate Ganache Flavored W
Birthday cake for my sister. It is a white cake with just a hint of orange/mango curd filling/sour cream white chocolate ganache flavored with orange & mango. Rose was beautiful when I finished it but I opened the windows & it became soft due to humidity. It caused some changes to the petals but I was able to save it by putting it in the oven with light on. It is not as pretty but still looks ok.

Hubby's Birthday Cake
It was a big "NO" to fondant from hubby so this is what I ended up with. Piping is not my thing but I gave it a try and I'm pretty happy with it. Not perfect but will do. I am getting better at smoothing Swiss buttercream at least. Cake is white cake/pina colada filling made with homemade pineapple jam & toasted coconut/coconut Swiss Meringue Buttercream

Birthday Cake
Surprise birthday cake for my daughter's best friend. Chocolate cake filled with blackberry curd/covered in a combination of milk & dark chocolate ganache. Not used to working with ganache so didn't get it as smooth as I would have liked but nice practice. Rose was made without cutters or any tools. Love doing them this way.

Kevin's Graduation
’m ready to give up on decorating. Had so much trouble with the fondant on this one. After a few choice words and a little break, managed to put it together. I really have to remember that I have trouble every time I use this particular brand of marshmallows. Not happy with the finish at all but at least I know it will taste good. The bottom tier is strawberry cake filled with cheesecake (an actual cheesecake which is Kevin’s favorite) and chocolate smbc. Top is banana, filled with milk chocolate ganache and smbc. Hopefully my godson will like it.

Yellow Dahlia
Decided to try this out. Color of the center is green but picture does not really show real color. The outer petals were done using the same size oval shaped cutter but using different thickness of gumpaste so that I could thin it out in a tear drop shape & get larger petals. Really like how it come out but takes a long time to do petal by petal and to curl each one.

1St Try At Parrot Tulip Dont Have The Cutters So Made A Template But I Think The Petals Need To Be Slightly Smaller Since This Is Just F
1st try at Parrot Tulip--Don't have the cutters so made a template but I think the petals need to be slightly smaller. Since this is just for a family cake, I'm going to use it anyway.
