My first wedding rings cake…..lemon cake with vanilla buttercream and MMF

The bride requested something simple, and she wanted silk flowers to keep the cost down, so this is what I came up with. She was very pleased!! This was red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.

I made this for my cousin’s high school graduation. She picked out a design that she liked and I tweaked it a little. The cake had to travel about 2 hours to get to her, so I made sure to brace it really well and it made it there safe and sound!! The cake is vanilla with cookies n cream filling, covered in MMF. I sort of cheated on covering the bottom tier added the black trim to cover the corners, lol! The tiara is gumpaste painted with airbrush paint…..the gems were a last minute thought, so they aren’t edible. TFL!!

This was my first time making a double barrel tier, and I love the look of it (just glad I didn’t have to cover it in fondant, lol)!! I designed the cake to match the baby’s bedding, and the mom-to-be was ecstatic! The tiers were lemon/vanilla/chocolate with vanilla buttercream frosting and fondant decorations. For the tree topper, I made a “skeleton” out of wire and covered it with gumpaste. I think this is my favorite cake that I have done so far! :)

I made this for my Mom and sis-in-law’s birthdays. The fun thing about doing family cakes is that I get to experiment!! I had been wanting to make an ombre cake and finally got the chance…..this is carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and the flower, pink ruffle and lettering are made from fondant/gumpaste mix.

I was asked to make this as a replica of the birthday boy’s actual present…..a 1984 Monte Carlo SS. This thing took me waaaayyyy longer that I planned and I pulled an all-nighter on it. I ended up with some air bubbles in the fondant, but the customer was really happy with it, so I’m happy too!!

This was my niece’s birthday cake, she said that she wanted pink with zebra stripes and that I could do whatever else I wanted. I had never made a topsy-turvy cake, so I decided to try it (without the pans, lol). Her exact words were…..”that’s awesome!”.

This cake was copied from a picture that the customer sent me, but I looked online and couldn’t find who to give credit to :(. I did change the positioning of the cabs and the Statue of Liberty though! This was vanilla butter cake with vanilla buttercream frosting covered in MMF.

Base cake is strawberry, and dress is hand-carved vanilla, both with vanilla buttercream frosting. The dress is fondant with little ribbon roses.

6” cake with 1/2 of a ball pan for the hat, ears and bow made out of fondant/gumpaste mix. This was my first time using the tapit letter cutters and they were a pain at first!! But I like how cute they are!

I laughed SO much while making this cake!! Several months before my best friend’s 60th birthday, I asked him what kind of cake he wanted me to make him. His reply was a “boob cake”, and this is what he got!! You know the old saying, “be careful what you wish for!” He loved it!!!

A small bride and groom cake from last year, and it was actually my 1st “wedding” cake, lol!

This is from about a year ago, and I still love how the little tools turned out!

buttercream frosting with fondant Mario…..all of his parts and pieces were hand cut using a picture that I printed out and used as a template. I decided to add a little 3D effect with his nose and hat, and am really happy with how he turned out. TFL!!

18th birthday cake for a guy who loves duck hunting and his black lab

I made this over a year ago for a lady whose sister was turning 30. It seems that when they were kids, her sister thought that flamingos only had 1 leg and it’s been a joke with them ever since. So, she asked me if I could put 30 one-legged flamingos on the cake and this is what I came up with. I cut 5 out of gumpaste and then piped the other 25 around the cake.
