Topsy-Turvey Birthday Cake



This is for two 1 year old boys.  This cake was a challenge and required some carving and careful stacking but for my first time I think it turned out alright.  The bottom layer is chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream, middle layer is red velvet and top is vanilla and vanilla.  Whole thing is covered and decorated in fondant.  The two smash cakes are vanilla and chocolate.  Delivery was interesting but we made it there without any damage!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar


1st Birthday Party.  The head is Red Velvet cake with Cream cheese icing and the cupcakes are white cake with lemon filling and lemon buttercream, topped with fondant fruit that the Caterpillar ate through.  The cake is covered with fondant and then I brushed on food coloring to get the bright red color.

Golfing Slot Machiene Anniversary Cake

This is a chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream and was very yummy!  The husband enjoys golfing and the wife likes trips to the casino so I tried to incorporate both hobbies.  Actually my husband came up with this design.  This cake was challenging, wish I had more time to perfect the details and make it perfect.

Mother's Day Heart Cake



I made this cake with the heart shaped pans passed down to me from my grandmother. It is lemon cake, strawberry filling and lemon icing.  The roses I made from starburst candy and I stenciled the design with eatable luster dust.  Happy Mother's Day!
