White and Gold birthday cake

I broke a lot of my own rules on this cake. I don't usually decorate cakes other people make, but for this one I made an exception. The birthday girl requested a white cake with gold details and left the design up to me. I love how the flowers turned out. I think this design would work for an anniversary or wedding as well.

This was a super fun, happy cake to work on! I love the bright colors! All three tiers are vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream. Covered in fondant with fondant details .

Orange ruffle flower cake

I have really been enjoying playing around with gum paste flowers. I made this one for a friend's birthday. It's chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream, her favorite combination. She does a lot of paintings in yellow, orange and green so that's why I picked this color combination.

5 tier petal wedding cake

This is my biggest cake to date! 5 tiers, 3 vanilla buttermilk, 2 chocolate :) I made this cake for Justin's cousin, Sarah's wedding. It was definitely time consuming, but I really like how it turned out. The flowers are gumpaste and the topper was provided by the bride.

I love getting to do petal cakes! So many possible color combinations :)

Ruby red 40th anniversary cake

I have to confess that when my lovely friend, Tracy,  told me they were using carnations for center pieces a little piece of me freak out. I hated the original way I learned how to make carnations! So, I decided to turn to youtube for help! I am sooooo glad I did. I LOVE how these turned out! Bottom tier is chocolate with peanut butter icing, middle tier is buttermilk cake with vanilla icing, top tier is chocolate with vanilla icing. I also made two dozen cupcakes to go with the cake but forgot to take pictures of it.

Coast Guard Cake

Chocolate cake with chocolate and peanut butter icing. Yes, there is two layers of icing under the fondant! Yummy! Fondant and hand painted details.

Baby blue and Gold cake

This was a first for me. I was asked to make a cake for a meet the baby party. The grandma was having a party for her friends to meet her grandson :) 

 Simple baby blue cake with a gold crown with the baby's name on it. Lemon cake, vanilla buttercream covered in fondant. The crown is also fondant.

Game night cake!

A friend of mine asked me to make her a 2 tier cake to celebrate the one year anniversary of her company's game night at a local restaurant and to maybe add a couple logos. I went a little above that, lol. I really enjoyed working on this cake. It ended up being much more detailed than I have planned, but I LOVE how it cake together :) 

Bottom tier is buttermilk cake with almond/vanilla icing and top tier is chocolate cake with almond/vanilla icing. 

Ruffle flowers cake

 I am far from girly, the only pink you will find in my closet is the pink in my Dr. Seuss's converses. But, I love DIY projects and anything crafty! I am also a huge fan of black and grey. For this project I decided to play around with the idea of fabric flowers. I love the colors! I am thinking I may do a tiered version of this and add more yellow :) 

The cake is actually a styrofoam dummy, so I made cupcakes too:

 

I am a huge fan of chocolate, caramel and pecans. So, that's what I played around with for these cupcakes and mini cupcakes. They are a deep chocolate cupcake with pecans mixed in through out and pieces of caramel. Pretty yummy! Very brownie like :)
