I had lots of fun and learned some new skills creating this rather large cake, thanks for looking.

Vanilla/almond cake with butter cream filling, cover in white chocolate, all wrapped up in yummy fondant. Cake stands approx 2 feet not including blades. Pond by windmill has a bird bath in the center with a small yellow bird perch on the edge, and if you look closely you can see gold fish in the pond.

Black and Red Ribbon Cake with White Rose Bouquet

Here is my version of a sushi cake :D

This cake was for a local hardware store’s grand opening. The cake is a vanilla / almond slab (15×22) with the store facade along the front.

Bottom layer is a 9” chocolate cake, top layer is a 6” vanilla/almond cake. Covered in butter cream and wrapped up in white fondant. The calla lilies are are crafted from gum paste. Now that the weather is nicer I am trying to take some pictures outside … it seems to help some but my picture taking has lots of room for growth :D

This is a red velvet cake with butter cream icing and blue orchids.

I entered this cupcake into a local cupcake contest where I have the opportunity to win an Artisan KitchenAid mixer.

I had so much fun making this cake … this is my first time working with molding chocolate … I think I shall use it again :D

Yummy rich chocolate cake, butter cream icing all wrapped up in bright colored mardi gras fondant. The topper is a molded white chocolate face with fondant and gum paste mardi gras mask topped off with a spray of beautiful feathers … thanks for looking :D

Vanilla / Almond cake, butter cream icing, fondant decorations. I find butter cream hard to get smooth and very difficult to make clean sharp edges. I used the upside down technique and I think I am getting better at it. Thanks for looking :D

FYI – Leonardo is scared of the butterfly … silly turtle!!!

Red Velvet cake with butter cream icing, all wrapped up in hot pink and black fondant. :D

Sex and the City Style cake … So many versions of this cake have been created … it’s difficult to locate or recognize the original artist … so I would like to thank all those creators because there is a little bit of your cake in my design

I decided to create this cake after taking Anne Heap’s class on Craftsy, Cake Topper Techniques. I was asked to create a bed cake with a pregnant bride trying on her wedding dress, while sitting next to a pic of her and her husband to be and a replica of her flowers. I was provided with a picture of the bride trying on her dress and the photo of the beautiful couple. This cake is the outcome of that request. Overall I am very pleased with this cake … thanks so much for looking :D

Sincerely,
Joyce

Thanks for looking :)

Pre-wedding Jack and Jill party for a couple who will be traveling south to marry. The request was for an 80’s themed cake perhaps with a Rubik Cube the rest of the cake was open for creatively. The base is a keyboard. Bottom tier is a retro stylized ghetto blaster with a ghost buster logo, MTV logo, and a Michael Jackson glove. Middle tier is dedicated to all things PacMan including the bride and groom. Top tier is a Smurf house including a smoking chimney. The roof of the house and the Rubik Cube are not cake. Red velvet cake with butter creaming filling and icing all covered with fondant on the bottom two tiers. The Smurf house is vanilla/almond cake with chocolate ganache filling and icing all covered with fondant.

The green glowed under a black light … was a huge hit at the birthday party.

Carrot cake with cream cheese icing, all covered in HM fondant with ruffles and gold detail. My mom loves Royal Doulton porcelain dolls so I decided to surprise her with a doll cake in the same style.

One Window is a one stop shop for anyone who wants to start mining in Nova Scotia. I’m please with this cake over all … someday I will better be able to judge how much to charge for a cake. This one is a 1/2 slab with a lot of fondant detail which took many hours to complete … cost to customer $80.00. How much would you have charged for a similar cake?

Retirement cake for Shiela, yes it is “I” before “E”. When she was very young Shiela kept her secrets in her little white purse. The topper was a representation of her as a young girl holding her little white purse. Beside the cake is a picture of Shiela and her purse. This was my first attempt at a frill cake based on the course offered through Craftys. Thank you for looking :)

This is my first attempt at a frill cake. It was very time consuming, but I think over time it would go pretty fast. The cake is actually umbra purple, but it looks blue in the picture. I tried taking pics in the house and outside and they kept coming out blue … very frustrating. This is a topper for a retirement carrot cake I am creating later this week. I will post more pics once the cake is completed. I think the bottom layer will have purple cream cheese swirl roses. Can you tell purple is her favorite color. The little girl on top has a blue hat and coat on but the rest of the cake will be shades of purple.

Hand crafted decorations, chocolate cake, filled with Dulce de Leche and chocolate ganache, smothered in chocolate ganache and covered with almond flavored fondant.

Created for a pediatrician who loves all things Dr. Seuss.
