Transformers Cake!

I had a blast making this cute birthday cake! It is a white cake with a cream cheese filling that was dyed bright blue just like the outside frosting. The little buildings were made from chocolate cupcakes, cut into building shapes. This was my first time attempting red frosting and I felt very happy with the result! I love how the red adds a little flare to the whole look of the cake. Also, it was fun to add figurines to a cake. Action scene!

Three-Tiered Bridal Shower Cake

This cake was all chocolate, per request of the bride, with a chocolate pudding filling. The icing was my own buttercream, with a spritz of shimmer. I had a good time doing my first square tiered cake! I am really a fan of ribbon on my cakes. It adds a nice touch, and these girls always have a great taste in color! And one of my favorite parts of this cake was writing the names of the bride and groom on the 2nd tier. Fun!

Griffy Four-Tiered Wedding Cake

This cake is in dimensions from bottom to top, 16" white cake, 12" chocolate cake, 9" white cake, & 6" chocolate cake. It worked out beautifully! All buttercream icing, with a shimmery touch, the filling is 2 layers - my own homemade cream cheese frosting, and strawberry compote. I made the compote by cooking cut strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. It was a blast and a huge project for me and I LOVED it! Can I make your wedding cake? :)

Toilet Paper Cake


I love this cake. I am making a wedding cake next week and I used this as my practice cake. The bride wants a strawberry filling, so I made a strawberry compote to fill the center of this cake, along with cream cheese frosting. The outside is simply buttercream, with a tiny bit of fondant to make the toilet paper effect! Be assured, though, that the real wedding cake will not look like a roll of toilet paper!
