Celtic Cross Birthday Cake
This is chocolate cake with cream cheese icing. The customer wanted a Celtic Cross on the cake. I did outline on cake with icing and filled in with more icing. I wasn't really pleased with the cross, but I liked the way the rest of it turned out. Oh well, back to the drawing board!!!

Molly's Birthday Cake
This was for my best friend's birthday today. She has a Jack Russell Terrier and this picture is his personality to a tee!! She had a fit over the cake. It was a 10 inch square cake, homemade carrot cake with crusting cream cheese icing. I must again thank Squirrelly Cakes for the wonderful cake recipe and Edencakes for the icing recipe. Both are fantastic and received rave reviews all around.

Dolphin Cake
I made this for a gathering of my girlfriends. Our birthdays are all within the next month and one girl really loves dolphins. Freddie, from this site, graciously shared the directions for her cake. I had to pretty well improvise and it is no where near as good as hers, but it was fun to make and I learned from my mistakes.

Kentucky Derby Birthday Cake
This cake is for my best friend's husband. He loves horse racing and they're having a Kentucky Derby/Brithday party tomorrow. I made a chocolate transfer of the logo and made buttercream roses for the wreaths. My version of reverse shell border at the bottom because I cannot seem to get it right.

Computer Birthday Cake
This is white almond sour cream cake with white buttercream icing and decorations. The computer keys are chiclets with numbers and letters written on with food marker. The recipient of this cake is a Computer Tech and PICNIC stands for "Problem In Chair Not In Computer". His wife ordered the cake and suggested the message. I thought it was pretty funny.

Poker Machine Birthday Cake
This is carrot cake with cream cheese icing. It was a pain to work with cream cheese in the humidity. I made this for a coworkers husband. She seemed pleased with the finished product. I can see where I could have done a lot better. Need to work on alignment and neatness in writing.

Puppy Cake
This is a practice cake for a groom's cake I'm doing in July. It's strawberry cake with crusting cream cheese icing. I'm fairly happy with the result, but will make a few adjustments next time. I got the pattern from Caroleene, who I would like to again thank so much for sharing the instructions.

"that's So Raven" Birthday Cake
Sour Cream Almond White cake with buttercream icing and Royal icing decorations. I was attempting to get a tie dye affect on the top with Wilton spray colors and I think it turned out pretty good, not perfect but I can live with it. Overall, I think it's pretty cute. Th icing is actually VERY purple but looks blue in the photo.

Easter Chick
Just wanted to do a practice cake. This cake was huge, 2 layers of chocolate cake, 2 layers of white cake, cookies and cream filling and whipped cream buttercream icing. It was 6 inches tall!!! Decorated with asstd Easter candy. It was fun to make, that whipped cream buttercream is a dream to work with and tastes great.

Kitten Cake
This is another cake I made last weekend. It was for a 6yo girl who loves cats. Realized too late that I forgot to add the whiskers, but she loved it anyway. This was one layer chocolate, one layer yellow and the kittens were strawberry with buttercream filling and icing. It's a 12 inch cake and used the mini balls to make the kittens.

Baby Gorilla Birthday Cake
I made this last weekend. It was my first Chocolate transfer and I made it into a not so great shaped plaque. I was very proud of the way the gorilla turned out. My customer said the 12yo birthday boy squealed like a little girl when he saw it. That made me feel pretty good. It was chocolate cake with strawberry filling and WBH icing.
