I made this cake for my aunt's 103rd birthday...Yep 103! She had a fiesta birthday, so I took inspiration from the traditional Mexican folk dancing dresses. The top tier to mimic the embroidered blouses with brushed embroidery flower pattern and the bottom tier the colorful stripes in the skirts. She always want cupcakes with the cake so I made carnation topped cup cakes. I look forward to making her cake every year...here's to 104!
I went to a country boil and volunteered to bring a dessert but then my husband said I should make a country boil cake...Yea! My boys kept trying to eat the corn on the cob :P I want to work on the crab legs and the pot was very cracked, California was extremely humid and raining...Im not used to that. But over all fun cake and happy with the results. Considering everyone thought it was a centerpiece and not a cake :)
This cake was for my BFF Daughters 15th Birthday. It was Chocolate cake filled with Peanut butter Carmel Buttercream and covered in chocolate ganache (my new favorite flavor combo). It was my first time working with wafer paper for the flower, I liked how it came out.
This is my first attempt and making a wine bottle. The wine bottle is black gum paste, the label is hand painted with food coloring gel on wafer paper. The crate was made with modeling chocolate and white chocolate curls/shavings for the packing. Cake itself was dark chocolate with Zinfandel SMBC.
This was my entry for the 2015 San Diego Cake Competition...I placed 2nd in Advanced. I designed the cake from the drawing room of Downton Abbey. It was my first attempt at a flower topper and the middle was a big learning curve, but over all I was happy, I didn't expect to place in this division.
I took the brides dress as the inspiration and combined here colors and decorations....her dress had side ruching and had beaded diamond accents. Her wedding colors and decorations were pewter, silver, and roses.
The client asked for a small cake but for it to represent the friends passions and personality. The description was "She is a photographer, loves out door hikes, cycling, 80s....She is from New Orleans and part of the book club where she is referred to as the Cajun Queen." All the Photos are hand painted. The crown and flowers are gum paste.
This was a fun cake...the client asked for teal and pink girly fancy cake, just because :) The granddaughter wanted a fancy cake like grandpa got but with girl things (lipstick,nail polish and purses)
Black and white, lace done with cake lace stenciled with royal icing, gumpaste flowers
Made this for my friends son's 21st Birthday.....Beer with some of his favorite things
Frozen birthday cake with edible image of Elsa and Ana. Olaf is made of gum paste.
This is my first time make sugar flowers. I was really happy with them... Got much easier as I did them.
Birthday cake for my aunts 102nd birthday . Inspired by Monets Lilies and my aunts beautiful backyard and gardens growing up. Lily and Lilypad made with gumpaste, hand painted with piping gel and gel food floorings.
My first attempt at making Gum Paste hibiscus and plumerias. Cake is covered in fondant with fondant bamboo detail edge.
The couple wanted a rustic cake. I have to admit it was hard for me to frost like this, I am a perfectionist. But it came out great and really went well with their wedding which was vintage lace on the tables, burlap and raffia details, and flowers in mason jars. There is a topper, its black MR & MRS Last name, but hard to see. Cakes were carrot cake Cream Cheese SM, almond w/ coconut SM, Vanilla w/ vanilla SM and Shock Top w/ orange coriander SM (Shock Top was their anniversary cake too)
The menu, plate and chopsticks where made of gum paste. The menu is a Gordon Ramsey Restaurant...then the birthday girl is name of the sushi with the "ingredients" descriptions of her and price is her age. It was a fun cake to design and make. Cake itself was chocolate with Kailua baileys SM buttercream.
This was my first time entering a cake show...I wanted to really challenge myself and I was inspired by the Cake Central Magizine issue that was on runway fashion. I Love the 1920s era so I created this design from a dress in a 1920s art print. I received 2nd place in the ammeter division...I was very happy with the results.
AppleMark 1920's inspired black and white wedding...stenciled and painted damask pattern on fondant. Hand painted monogram with art deco accents. This is my first time making gum paste roses and I was pretty happy with my first attempt.
This was not what I intended...My original thought was to make the bird cage just royal Icing and gum paste. But do to time I had to change to piping over the cake. I also intended to make branches to circle around the middle cake. I had entered 3 cakes into my county fair and this one took the short cuts to finish 30 minutes before it was due to drop off. But I did get 4th place so Im pretty happy
This was a cake I made and entered into my first local county fair. It got first place. It was also my first attempt at making hand piped chocolate butterflies. The flowers are painted and then Piped with royal icing to add dimension. Covered in fondant.
This was a Pooh Bear inspired cake for local county fair. It was the first time I have attempted to enter anything. I got 2nd place. great experience
This was for a friend who is and avid surfer...It took me a few times to get a wave I liked.
