Celebrating my daughter's and my brother's birthday. She loves butterflies and he loves basketball so I did a 1/2 and 1/2 cake with both of the things they love. Chocolate cake with buttercream icing.
This was for a friend's boy for his birthday. They had already had cake for his family party and wanted something to share with a couple of friends on his actual birthday evening...so we decided to do a cookie instead. It's a chocolate chocolate chip cookie with buttercream icing accents.
This cake was for a friend's daughter's 2nd birthday. She was having a "Polka Dot Party" and I made this cake to match the colors of the plates. It was white cake with strawberry filling and fondant dots.
Another cake for my sister's office. I decided to go with a fall theme since it had been a little cooler. Also, this was the first cake I did 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 white cake. It turned out ok, I think.
I made this cake for a friend who daughter was having a cheerleader/basketball/"High School Musical" birthday party! Funny thing is that she is only four! She is so cute! Definitely a teenager trapped in a 4 year old's body! I hope she'll like the cake!
This was my first time to use the frozen buttercream icing transfer method to do the image. It's a good method to use if you have a lot of detail. It turned out ok. It turned out looking kinda like a spiderman cake, but it's actually the "Black Widow" bike that is popular on the American Chopper show. I also used white buttercream icing and then used the color mist spray to do the red and blue. It was fun!
This cake was for a friend's daughter's first birthday. She did a garden theme with bugs and flowers. It was so fun to pipe all these decorations! The cake was chocolate with buttercream icing.
I made this cake for a friend who loves pink, brown and polka dots. White almond sour cream cake with white buttercream icing and fondant dots and bow. I included a side view so you can see the dots better.
This cake was for a friend who loves to work in the garden. Carrot cake with buttercream icing. The flowers, terracotta pots and gardening tools were made out of fondant. The "dirt" was crushed up Oreo cookies. (click on picture for a closer view) This one was lots of fun to make!
I did this cake for my final cake decorating class (Course 1). The cake was raspberry white chocolate cake with raspberry cream cheese filling and buttercream icing.
This cake was my "homework" for my cake decorating class. We had to bake and ice the cake and bring it to class. Then we learned how to transfer an image (rainbow) onto a cake. It was perfect timing because my in-laws came to visit the next day and we were celebrating my niece's 8th birthday.
Here is a birthday cake that I made to look like a scrapbook page. She loves to scrapbook! The cake is german chocolate with a coconut pecan frosting filling. It is covered in fondant with all decorations fondant as well. This one took a lot of planning but was very fun to make!
This cake was made for a friend whose husband and brother-in-law just got jobs at the same company (Northrop Grumman). She sent me the company's logo (below) and I was able to duplicate it with fondant. You can't tell from the pictures, but I was able to "marble" blue and black together so it would look like the backgroud on the logo. Pretty cool!
Here is a doll cake I made for a friend's daughter's 8 year old's birthday party. The dress is made from pink fondant (I love this stuff!) and I made the flowers from royal icing. I even got to do her hair. So fun...and perfect for a little girl's birthday!
I made this cake yesterday for my grandmother's and aunt's birthday party. It was my first attempt using fondant. It was a lot of work (trial and error) but really fun! Next time will be much easier. I am learning a lot as I go...
