Cake designed to match napkins at luncheon. All buttercream with fondant and gumpaste details.

This is my little baby boy’s 2nd birthday cake. He has a slight obsession with VW vans and the water so we threw him a VW Surf Bus Party! Bottom tier was a 6” Hummingbird Cake with wave “ruffle” detail. Middle tier was a 4” chocolate cake with striping. Top tier was a 3” x 1” carved chocolate cake in the shape of a VW bus for my little guy’s smash cake.

Cake is a carved chocolate cake with vanilla SMBC. Icing Smiles called for a dream cake and I nearly jumped out of my skin with excitement at the opportunity. The dragon is the mascot for DeRidder School (Louisiana) where the 13-year old attends. Football is his favorite sport! The head is rice crispy treats, modeling chocolate and fondant, the tail I made from cake scraps/ buttercream mix. Handcut fondant circles make up the dragon’s tail, claws are rice crispies with modeling chocolate and the football is a giant cake ball.

Cake designed for Half Baked’s 4th of July feature. Vertical ruffled stripes and ruffle field of blue offset by “americana” style piece with star center. Cake was red velvet with cream cheese swiss meringue buttercream.

Bottom cake was gingerbread spice with cream cheese swiss meringue buttercream, top tier was strawberry with cream cheese SMB. Cake is buttercream covered. Bottom tier has piped colored icing for the design and the top tier had a square fondant piece with fondant “K” with darker pink band around the cake. This was part of a dessert table for a friend’s surprise party and I had a BLAST throwing the whole thing together for her.

Customer wanted bright, bold, vibrant colored daisies (specified hot pink and purple) and butterflies for a friend’s cake. I was out of gumpaste so everything is fondant on this one. The cake itself is a 6/4” tiered coconut cake with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream. I really wanted to try a gerber daisy tutorial that I had found earlier this past week but I didn’t have the right cutters. So I made up my own! I have tons of ideas for improvement if I do these little gals again. Oh and I also didn’t have the right gauge wire (yes, it was one of those weeks) so I had to adhere the flowers on the cake with toothpicks. What a week!

A 6”/ 4” tiered red velvet cake with white chocolate swiss meringue buttercream. I used the top of a heart cutter for the ruffles on this one (even though no one but me could probably tell!) since it was Valentine’s day and it was for a “Give Your Heart” auction.

The cakes if for Haiden who turned four! She is a girly girl who loves to dress up! Its a vanilla cake with white chocolate swiss meringue buttercream.

This cake was a 6” strawberry cake with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream. Fondant covered cake with ombre ruffle “belt” design set with an offset heart. Cake was for a giveaway at a local children’s boutique so the ruffle-bottom diaper covers were my inspiration for this one….....though I think it kind of ended up looking like a garter. Either way, I still liked how it came out. :)

This cake was made for a couple with a new baby boy, Theron! Cake was chocolate with mocha swiss meringue buttercream. Mmm….my personal favorite!

A friend ordered this for her husband who has a extreme love of Tintin and who has done some extensive traveling. We are both military families and they are about to pack up and head out again so she thought a suitcase was fitting for the occasion. Each luggage sticker is a place he has travelled to. Snowy has been replaced with the couples spoiled basset hound, “Pickles”. The cake was a 6×3 chocolate rum cake filled with dark chocolate rum ganache and mocha swiss meringue buttercream. I did the cast of characters as cupcake toppers to accompany the cake. These were carrot cake with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream.

Birthday girl wanted blue background with green border and hot pink swirls but beyond that she said I could do whatever I felt like. :) This was a tiny cake (6”, 4” and 2”) and they requested 3 different flavors so bottom tier was chocolate, middle tier was red velvet and top tier was vanilla and all were filled with swiss meringue buttercream.

Girl turning 21 requested a cake to match a set of ceramic boxes that were particularly special to her. Cake was chocolate vodka coconut cake with mocha swiss meringue buttercream.

This design matched the bride’s wedding gown. Cake was a lemon cake with raspberry swiss meringue buttercream. Cake was fondant covered with fondant details and gumpaste flowers to match the bride’s bouquet.

Cake order received at 10 in the morning and pickup was at 2! CRAZY! Good thing my boys napped well that day so I could throw this 2-tiered chocolate cake with a pirate theme. Customer sent some photos of different cakes they liked so I don’t know exactly who to credit for some of the ideas behind this one. Cake was fondant covered with fondant details.
