Cupcake Candy Cake
French vanilla cake for both the bottom tier and the giant cupcake, vanilla buttercream. I used fondant, buttercream, gumpaste, royal icing, and modeling chocolate to create everything. I hand cut the letters using a template I created from wax paper since I don't have the tappits yet. I was soooo proud of this design. She wanted a candy cake with a cupcake on top, using pastel pink, hot pink, purple and green as the color palette.

Frozen Birthday Cake
This cake was for an 6 year old girl. The topper is fondant/gumpaste mix. The elsa is an edible image overlain with fondant accents for dimension. The ice is rock candy (which I had to make 3 times because it was raining and I hadn't yet figured out that moisture affects candy outcome) flavored with raspberry and a touch of citric acid. The flavors were lemon with a lemon curd filling for the top tier and strawberry with a fresh strawberry compote filling.

12Th Anniverary Cake
This is a cake I made for my husband and my 12th anniversary. We both like simple, so it's plain french vanilla cake with regular ole vanilla buttercream. I hand sculpted the peony (which I am ecstatic about) and covered in fondant. The modern 12th anniversary themes are silk, jade, peonies, and pearls - which I tried to incorporate into the design. The bottom tier is supposed to resemble a silk drape. I don't think I did too bad with it. :)

Minnie Mouse Birthday
This is one of my more recent cakes. I've been working very hard to to get cleaner designs. The cake is french vanilla with vanilla buttercream for the top tier and triple chocolate fudge with butter flavored buttercream on the bottom tier. The smash cake is triple chocolate fudge with white chocolate buttercream.
