70s Birthday Cake

June 2011

My co-worker asked me to do a 70s theme birthday cake for his lovely wife. This is a tie dyed shirt inspired cake with buttercream for tie dye pattern and the "peace, love and happiness" is fondant accents.

I think I had a more fun making this cake since my daughter decided to be judge and jury while making the cake...."No, mom, you missed a spot!" "Do you REALLY think that will work??" "I LIKE this cake - it's cool!" HA!

Modern Wedding Cake

June 2011

This is a cake for the celebration of a marriage between my aunt and a friend of my parents. They wanted a small cake to have after lunch. I wanted simple elegance and no frills. The cake is covered in buttercream. The flowers are fondant with white luster dust for accent.

Congrats Ed and Kathleen!

Dump Truck Birthday

June 2011

This was for a cute three year old who wanted a dump truck themed birthday party. Mom decorated to the hilt with hard hats, caution tape, and little orange cones. It was adorable.

Cake is covered in buttercream. Truck is made of rice crispy treats and covered in fondant. The "load" is edible rocks - milk chocolate flavored.

King Cake Class

February 2011

Paul and I took a 3 hour king cake making class through a local university outreach program. It was all older women, middle aged yappy women (who would not get their hands dirty or help pick up) and Paul. HAHAHA!! But we had fun! This is my cake - traditional cinnamon/sugar with no filling and covered with sprikles.

Paul's was an apple filled cake and was covered with cinnamon and looked like a meat pie/chunk o' meat. So, no pictures of his.

Boys, boys, everywhere!!

Fondant cake with gumpaste/fondant booties. Love making these little duckies and the fun accents (see the peace sign??) on the cake.

This little boy has already bee born and is a cutie-patootie!!

I loved making this cake! It was for a little girl celebrating her 1st birthday.
The cookies are sugar cookies with fondant and royal icing decorations. I made them in three different color schemes.
The crush cake is buttercream with fondant accents.
The main piece was a 10 inch triple layer topped with a 6 inch triple layer. It is (as a singular cake), the largest I have done thus far. It is a buttercream covered cake with all fondant covering. The flag post is a dowel covered in fondant and has a gumpaste flag. The base is covered in fondant with buttercream grass accents.
