Grandmother's Birthday Cake

I wanted to make a beautiful cake for my grandmother's 89th birthday!  I thought ribbons and buttons were appropriate.  This is a vanilla cake with strawberry filling and lemon buttercream. 

Dora Cake

Disney Princess Castle Cake!

This cake was so fun to make but a ton of work!  I basically worked on it every second that my husband was home to entertain our toddler.  It was nice working on a girly cake!  The 4 y old birthday girl wanted a Disney Princess Cake with a castle, Cinderella, Belle and the Beast.  The figures I made out of rice cereal decorated with fondant.  The cakes are vanilla and vanilla buttercream/filling.  I tried to texture the buttercream then decorated in fondant.  The towers are paper towel rolls covered in fondant and the tops are ice cream cones. 

Tyson's Handy Manny 2nd Birthday Cake!

 Handy Manny inspired cake.  All week while I was making the tools Tyson would come over and say "Mommy's Tools"   He was so excited for his cake which made it extra special.  This is a chocolate sour cream cake with peanut butter cream cheese filling and covered in caramel buttercream. My first time making caramel.  I made all the tools out of fondant and used Tyson's tools as models.  I made Manny out of chocolate, using a coloring page as a template.

Cookie Monster Birthday Cake!

Turtle Cake

This is  Caden's cake for his 1st Birthday!  This cake is inspired by a picture my sister found on the internet.  The sheet cake and turtle are vanilla cake with layers of raspberry and fudge filling iced in chocolate buttercream.  Everything is covered in marshmallow fondant.  I carved the shell out of round cakes and the hands/feet are carved cup cakes.  His head is carved out of a small bunt cake and his hat is an ice cream cone.

Star Wars; R2D2

Birthday cake for a 4y old boy.  Part chocolate/part vanilla cake with fondant decorations.  Our week long power outage ruined the birthday boys party :( and my original design, but they still wanted a small cake for his actual birthday. 

Halloween Birthday!

 Halloween Birthday Cake for our niece/nephew.  Chocolate cake with yummy oreo cookie filling and buttercream.  The ghost is make out of rice cereal treats covered in fondant.  All other decorations are fondant except spiders are piped buttercream. 

Princess Birthday!

 This is for a 5 year old girl who wanted Princess themed Cake and Cupcakes for her party.  They are vanilla and chocolate flavor cake with vanilla buttercream.  Cake is covered with fondant and decorated with fondant flowers.  Crown is piped out of Royal Icing and painted with pink pearl dust.  Cupcake decorations are made from fondant.  The first crown I made broke so this is my 2nd attempt and it broke into 2 pieces but was able to be salvaged. 

Doggielicious Cake!

This cake is for our niece's 6th Birthday.  She wanted a dog cake so this is what I came up with.  The dog is made out of pound cake, covered with butter cream and fondant ears, nose, eyes, tongue.  The bowl is made out of rice cereal and covered in fondant, the food is candy.   The big cake is chocolate cake with strawberry filling and covered with the grass tip in butter cream.  The dog bones are fondant. 

90th Birthday Casino Cake!

This is my biggest cake to date!  It was so heavy that I could barely lift it!  I have to give much credit to my dad who helped me tremendously on this cake.  He built the base (added a back support to the base piece) and helped me with delivery.  This cake is Vanilla with Chocolate Fudge Filling, Vanilla Buttercream and covered and decorated with fondant.  My dad thinks it was at least 40lbs.  There are about 10 or so layers of cake/filling that I carved to the shape of a slot machine.  It took a lot longer then I thought to complete but as long as the birthday girl likes it then it is all worth it! 

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!

Two year old twin girls requested a Mickey Cake.  So I decided to use a new stand and make three separate cakes incorporating Mickey Mouse Clubhouse icons.  All cakes are Vanilla and Vanilla Buttercream and fondant/gum paste decorations.  The "Toodles Cake" is filled with cherry filling, the "Clubhouse Cake" is filled with cream cheese buttercream, and the "Mickey Cake" is filled with chocolate and crushed Oreo's.    I had a blast making this cake and the most difficult part was figuring out how to make Mickey and the archway stand up.  It took a few tries to sculpt Mickey out of fondant.

Chocolicious Birthday Cake!

This Birthday Cake is all Chocolate cake and buttercream.  The bottom tier is filled with chocolate mousse and the other 2 tiers are filled with raspberry preserves.  The border is Nonpareil candy... the birthday girls favorite! 

My 1st Wedding Cake!

I made it through my 1st Wedding Cake!  They are way more anxiety provoking then other cakes. Smoothing the icing and transporting were the most difficult parts. It feels so good to be a small part of someone's wedding. It was for 170 people so I also made a large sheet cake that serves 80.  This cake is Vanilla with Kahlua Infused Chocolate Mousse Filling and Cream Cheese Buttercream. Tiers are 12', 10' and 8'.  The Bride provided the topper, ribbon and flowers...she has good taste..reminds me of my wedding cake!  Congratulations to the Bride and Groom and thanks for giving me my 1st Wedding Cake order :)

McQueen Car!

This is my first sculpted car cake!  The car is pound and the track is vanilla velvet cake with chocolate mousse filling.  This cake took a lot longer then I thought but it was a lot of fun.  Everything is eatable except for the spoiler which is cardboard covered in fondant.

Penguin Says Happy Birthday

This is my mother-in-law's birthday cake.  She loves penguins and daisy's.  The penguins are out of fondant and the flowers out of gum paste.  Again, it is vanilla cake with strawberry filling. Happy Birthday Grammie!
