Star Wars-Clone Wars Cake!

This cake was massive, 12x18 inches! I did Carson's Transformers Cake last year and had a blast! This year, his Star Wars-Clone Wars cake was such a blast. I made a 3D "Captain Rex" with his helmet, gun, and all. The wording looks like the lettering of the title of the show. It was difficult to accomplish the task of molding his arm just right. It's supposed to be Rex's right shoulder then his arm is bent (where you can't see it) and it comes up on the other side of the cake with his gun pointing upward. It looked better on paper than on cake, so I learned a lot from this cake and I hope to do better next time I do a 3d cake like this. It is all white cake with cream cheese filling and buttercream icing!

Light-Up Light Saber Cake

(Above: Light Saber not lit up; Below: Light Saber lit up!)
For little Carson's birthday this year, his mom asked me to do a Clone Wars cake, like the new cartoon show based on the Star Wars series. I did a miniature light saber cake to go along with it, and figured out a way to make the light saber light up! (I refuse to make a LIGHT saber without a LIGHT.) I put a toy inside it that lights up with the push of a button. It turned out so cute!

Happy Birthday Niki!

I made this for my great friend who is probably the biggest BYU football and other sports fan I know. She really liked it! I made the football, trying to tint buttercream with brown coloring, and I got impatient so I added cocoa to it and turned it to chocolate buttercream. The cake is white with buttercream frosting! Yum! My son had a blue mouth all day while I made this!

Welcome, Baby Roberson!

This cake is my white cake with cream cheese frosting and fresh raspberry filling, and buttercream icing on the outside. I copied their cute invite for colors and had a great time making the little pacifier and bow out of fondant and gum paste!

Fire Truck Birthday!

This beauty is a ginormous fire truck cake for little Wesley! It is my regular white cake with cream cheese icing filling and buttercream frosting. I had a blast making this! Oh, and the wheels are Oreo's.

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!!
