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!

Nitti's 1st Anniversary

Another chocolate and pink cake, but this one was made with dark chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream icing. It actually turned out to be yum! I was not entirely proud of it, but here it is. I do like my gum paste callalilies that I made, not knowing what I was doing! I am getting ready to take my second cake class starting in November! Yay!

Erin's Birthday Cake

So, for my music-industry-loving friend, I made a new cake recipe and a new frosting besides buttercream! I really hated the Wilton chocolate buttercream recipe, so I found this AWESOME marshmallow chocolate frosting. Oh man is it good. It tastes like a melted s'more without the graham crackers. DANG good. Both layers of this cake were also baked into a melted brown sugar bottom which made it very moist. The inside of the two layers is a sweetened cream. YUMMY! Happy Birthday, Erin!

Becca's Bridal Shower Cake!

I got the honor of making a bridal shower cake for my friend Becca. Her wedding colors are lilac and dark purple. So pretty. I copied the shower invitation for the design, and made it shiny, which is why the pics turned out a little strange. It was a beautiful shower. The request I received was to make the same cake that I made for Kristen's wedding cake. So, it is white cake with cream cheese frosting filling and fresh raspberries. Unfortunately, I made twice as much as I needed to! Still working on understanding portions!!
