Four-Tiered Wedding Cake

This was my very first wedding cake. Two layers are white cake, while the other two layers are chocolate. The filling on all four layers is a homemade cream cheese frosting with fresh raspberries. This cake fed about 300 people!

Holly's Baby Shower Cake


I got to make my first baby shower cake, and it was a polka dot theme! So, I did a simple funfetti two-layer cake (polka dots) and put pink polka dots all over it. I also made my second creation out of fondant, a little sleeping baby! I wasn't REALLY excited about how the baby's skin turned out, so I hope it's better next time, but I think it still looks cute!

Duncan's Birthday Cake

So, because of the opportunity to make someone's wedding cake, I got SOOOOOOOO much practice. I feel so much more able to make a really nice-looking cake now, and I'm so grateful! This cake was a BALL to make. I specialized it specifically to our dear friend who we call Dunk. He's an avid Florida Gator's fan, loves basketball, and loves running. He loved his cake.

Halloween Cupcake Cake 2007

I got this idea online and brought it to a Halloween party a couple years ago. It is all cupcakes. It was really fun to do and turned out to be a hit with the kids! I want to make another cake like this someday, with a different theme like birthday or Christmas!

Birthday Doll Cake

So, this being my first time making or even seeing a doll cake in person, it was a shot in the dark. I believe I made the dress waaaay too big. It was also my first shot at making marshmallow fondant, or even handling fondant at all. But, it still turned out pretty cute!

My Birthday! ... yes, I made my own cake... don't judge

I made a half white, half chocolate one-layer cake for my own birthday party. It was fun to make my cake, okay! Oh, and NO I didnt do the letters on this. Blake did the letters. Pretty good huh?

General Cakes

These were just some regular two- or one-layer round cakes I made for my cake class and for practice. The icing on these is homemade buttercream.

Purple Birthday Cake

This was another simple all-store-bought cake that I made for my mom! I picked out all the whte and purple sprinkles out of a colorful box of sprinkles! She loves purple.

Caleb's 1st Birthday Cake

These cakes were for my son's first birthday party, which was a "BALL" theme! They were all made from boxes and store-bought icing, but this started my love for cake making and decorating!
