Easter Lamb Cake

My grandmother handed down this Lamb pan to me and I was so honored!  I hope to make her proud with this cake.  This Easter Lamb cake is a lemon pound cake covered in butter cream.  I made cupcakes with the leftover batter and sprinkled a few flowers and jelly beans on the grass.  The egg ears are another story.  I made these ears for some bunny cup cakes I was planning on making but the peanut butter cupcakes turned out horribly (I think because I used unsalted/organic peanut butter).  I was going to make a new batch to finish the bunny cakes but then my son got sick so I scrapped the whole project and used the ears for this cake since I don't like things going to waste!  Happy Easter :)

Cali Lily Fondant Cake

This is a Banana Cake covered in fondant that I made at my class.  We learned how to make gum paste cali lilly's so I put this together quickly and froze the cake for later use on sculpting projects.

Tax Appreciation Cake!

Vanilla Velvet cake with chocolate mousse filling and buttercream. 

Thomas the Train Birthday Cake

This cake is for my nephew's 3 Birthday.  It made my day when he said a few times that he loved this cake!  This was so much fun to make.  The cake is my first strawberry cake and it got good reviews.  I used a 16 inch pan that hardly fit in my oven...so I had to cook it on the top shelf which posed a bit of a problem..but I was able to piece the cake together and nobody noticed the flaw's.  Thoma's face was probably my 6th attempt but I loved the way it turned out.   I carved the trains out of cake and covered with fondant.  The water is piping gel tinted blue over blue fondant.  Track is twizzlers, rocks are 2 different candy and the mountain is part of a stacked round cake covered in crushed chocolate wafer cookies. 

Fondant Cake

I made this cake for my cake decorating class that I am now taking.  This is an almond cake and is very yummy!  This is my 2nd time covering a cake with fondant and this time it was much easier.  I quickly decorated it a few different ways.

Tangled Castle Cake

This cake is for my niece's birthday, her theme was Disney's "Tangled" so I tried to mimic the movie a little with this princess castle cake.  This is my first 3 tiered cake.  The top pillar is rice treats covered with fondant so that I could carve out the window.  The rest of the pillar's are fondant and all of the tops are ice cream cones.  The cake is vanilla with a chocolate moose filling.  This is my favorite filling yet, so yummy and fluffy. I loved making this cake!
