Happy Thanksgiving!

Last year I made a Turkey cake. This year I decided to go with something simple and fun. The leaves/details are made of fondant. The cake is marble with butter cream icing/filling.

Kate's cake

I have had the pleasure to babysit Kate for a couple years now. Her birthday was this week, and I decided to go to with a simple multi color flower design.

Wedding Shower cake

This week I was fondant happy. So, for April and Jeff's wedding shower I decided to do another colorful fondant covered cake. I really liked how the 2 tiered babyshower cake turned out so I decided to try using round cakes for this one. I am happy with how it turned out and most importantly it traveled really well and everyone seemed to like it.

Eva's 4th Birthday

Last year Eva had a very specific vision of what she wanted her cake to look like. This year she just had 2 requested that it be a big cake, not cupcakes, and that the filling be purple icing. So, I decided to play with fondant for this one. I am happy with how it turned out and she really happy with it which is all that matters.

I had the amazing honor to make Karen and Mike's wedding cake! This is the biggest cake I have done so far and my first time working with chocolate fondant. Chocolate fondant tastes yummy, but it's a pain in the butt to work with. This cake was tons of fun to make!

It was for a 5th birthday party. I am really happy with how it turned out

Mom's anniversary cake

For mom's anniversary she wanted me to make enough cake to feed about 40 people. She had no requirements other than it had to be dark chocolate cake. So I decided to make way more cake than needed so I could us the cake stand we used for the wedding.

Minnie inspired cupcakes

These were done for a little girl's second birthday party.
Chocolate cake, vanilla butter cream, fondant details

Christmas Sweater cake

I had a ton of fun making this cake. We had a Christmas sweater cake so I made cake as the prize for the ugliest sweater

Lena's Birthday cake

Lena asked for a pink cake with hearts and yellow flowers so this is what I made.

4th of July

I had a couple hours to spare before the family cookout this afternoon so I decided to make some cupcakes. They are chocolate cupcakes filled with dolce de leite (kind of a homemade caramel), then covered with vanilla icing, homemade marshmallow stars and red, white, and blue sprinkles.

Zoo Cake

This cake was a lot of fun to make and I am really happy with how it turned out!

Volcanoes!!

Justin's birthday cake

This was Justin's cake last year. He just wanted starts (extra icing) so I decided to do it in different colors)

Playing around with fondant cut outs. These were also made with homemade marshmallow fondant.

Mom's wedding cake

Mom wanted a flourless chocolate cake with cream colored roses. I don't have a good picture of the top of the cake but it was covered with 60+ royal icing Victorian roses.

Flower cupcakes

These cupcakes I made and I took to class to show my students some of the flowers they would learn in course 2. I love getting to make cupcakes with the grass.

Marshmallow fondant

These cupcakes are really simple but they were made with homemade marshmallow fondants. The designs are really basic as I had Eva, my lovely 3 1/2 year old assistant :) This is my first attempt at home made fondant. It was a lot of work but it was really yummy.

Fondant cut out letter, more chocolate

This cake was done for Angelique's birthday. Its a chocolate flourless cake (really, really yummy), then covered in chocolate and finished of with come small fondant cut outs. I also played around with painting the fondant with an edible glitter, liquor mix. I still have a lot of work before I get it all to work out.

Chocolate Ganache cake

For mom's birthday she wanted a all chocolate cake, chocolate cake, chocolate filling, chocolate icing, covered in chocolate. So, this is my first attempt at chocolate ganache.

It was also a good cake to use one of my fun pans for. This fill pan has a big cavity on both halves so you can fill the cake with ice cream or anything else you want. You end up with a nice cake to filling ratio. (The betty crocker icing was not used for this cake (or any of my cakes) Justin just likes to put it on any reject cakes or left over pieces.)

2 tier rose wedding cake

I did this cake for a surprise wedding reception for a friend of the family.

Gift box cake

This was one of the cakes I did for my Fondant and gumpaste class.
