Grandpa's Golfing Cake

My Grandpa's birthday was this week. I asked him what his favorite kind of cake was and he said Lemon! So I made him a lemon SunDrop cake with lemon curd filling and a thickened glaze for the frosting. It turned out fantastic! My Grandpa is a fabulous golfer so he was excited to see his cake in golfball form. The grass was really fun to do, and I am so happy with how it turned out!

Heart Cake


I made an almond sour cream cake for my mom's birthday this year! The icing was almond as well. I added gumpaste and royal icing flowers to decorate the lavendar cake. I love my mom and loved to do this for her birthday!

Castle Cake

Every princess needs a castle! I made this beauty out of a 10-inch square pan and 8-inch circle pans. It was my special white cake with cream cheese filling, and delicious buttercream frosting. I had so much fun and I acquired a few new clients, which is always fun!

Twin Princesses!


Our neighbors, who are little blonde twin girls, turned 3 this week! Brooklyn's favorite princess is Cinderella. And Lauren's favorite is Tiana. I am sorry but that is just hilarious. When she saw her cake, her mom asked, "Who is that?" And she replied, "Me!" So so cute. I made them a princess castle cake and then these small 5-inch round cakes.

Nath Taught Me Fondant!

My very first all-fondant cake ever! My second ever was for my hubby's birthday. I really like fondant! The clean up is much quicker than buttercream. But, they both have their own challenges! I hope to keep learning!!

Vanilla Bean Frosting Wedding Cake

This baby blue cutie was by far the most challenging cake I've ever done. The issues were 1) It was a wedding cake, thus I require perfection. And 2) It was so extremely simple of a design that imperfections are extremely apparent. Had a few mishaps along the way, almost putting me in tears. But as you can see, the cake matched the wedding scheme and the couple was happy! The cake was my normal wedding cake - white cake with cream cheese filling and fresh raspberries. But, this time the frosting on the outside was vanilla bean. I recieved an enormous amount of compliments and also learned a lot!

My son's Hockey Cake!

My sweet little Caleb is THREE!!! For his birthday party I made a two layer yellow cake. I added blue dye to it so on the inside it was marble, blue and yellow, like the Predator's colors! He really loved his cake!
