Twins' Birthday!


I got to do two little 6 inch birthday cakes for twins, a boy and a girl. I had so much fun doing the Spiderman and Tinkerbell themes! The cakes are my white cake with cream cheese filling and buttercream frosting. The filling on the Spiderman cake is blue, and the filling on the Tinkerbell cake is purple. The little Spiderman is made out of fondant and the wings on Tinkerbell's cake are made out of fondant and gumpaste. The Tinkerbell cake is shiny and so frilly, I love it! The Spiderman cake is tough, and looks like Spiderman sitting on top of a building. SO FUN!

Baby Shower Cake for Alexis' Sister-In-Law!

Oh my gosh I had soooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOO much fun making this cake!!!!!!!!!! My dear friend Alexis asked me to do this cake and gave me an idea from the Martha Stewart website that she liked, called a "lollipop garden." Click here to see it, it's darling! She also gave me the invitation to her sister-in-law's shower, so I could go off the colors. It was too much fun making the gumpaste daisies and the white chocolate daisy lollipops! I also made a new cake recipe for this cake. It's a deliciously moist lemon cake with lemon curd filling and a glaze-tasting buttercream frosting. This cake is a 9" cake, and I placed it on a 12" circle with a 12" square cake box for travel. I learned so much making this cake and I am grateful for creative people like Alexis that I can grow from! I am so happy I got to make this cake!!

Miakka's Wedding Cake

I had the great opportunity to make a 3-tiered large square wedding cake (14", 10", & 6") for an adorable couple this week. They asked for my regular white cake with cream cheese frosting and fresh raspberries filling and outer layer of buttercream frosting. I tinted the design champagne, which was one of her colors. The other color was obviously red. This cake fed 250 guests. I was so happy with how it turned out!

Cake Tasting


A fabulous engaged couple came over to taste my cake. The bride's colors are red and champagne. I made a small sample cake to show them what I am capable of, and also some samples to taste. I created a design out of champagne-tinted frosting, and added the opened rose and ribbon. They liked it a lot and I get to do their wedding cake in August! I am so excited.

Sommers Wedding Cake

I had a blast making another wedding cake! Audrey picked gorgeous colors, with the deep yellow and bright baby blue. All three tiers are white cake with my cream cheese filling and fresh raspberries. The outside is obviously buttercream. The dimensions are 12", 10", and 6".

I am still learning every time I make cakes, and I am so grateful for the experience! I had a great time making the rose display on the top of the cake, and placing petals all over, per Audrey's request. It was a hit and I can't wait til I get to make another wedding cake!!

Graduation Cake


I made Blake's favorite cake, a white cake with a cream cheese and fresh raspberry filling, with buttercream frosting. I tried to make the top look like a Diploma, but it kinda sucks. My bad, I needed to practice, but I did it in a hurry because it was for a surprise party for Blake.

Book Cake

I made this a cake for my friend's baby shower to look like 4 little baby books stacked on each other. If I do this type of cake again, I will stack the books so that they are barely over the edge of each other. It made the cakes sag a little and looked not so much like stiff books. The cake was chocolate with buttercream icing.
