I was asked to make this cake to help celebrate an 80th birthday. Even at 80, the birthday girl is still very fashion conscious and wearing heels! It is a 6” vanilla cake with lemon frosting and an 8” chocolate cake with strawberry frosting covered in MMF. The bottom tier was then stenciled with royal icing (my first time). The accessories were all handcrafted from either mexican paste or gum paste. The client took the cake with the black purse on top. I can’t decide which one I like better, black or red.

I made this cake for my aunt’s birthday party tonight. She is without question one of my most favorite people ever and this cake completely represents her! It is an 8” double barrel chocolate cake covered with MMF. The pattern on the side was done with sugar sheets and a Martha Stewart scrapbook punch. Couture Cakes by Rose did a small tutorial on the method but I’ve seen it done somewhere else as well. The flowers were made with modelling chocolate and the accessories were made with mexican sugar paste. A special thank you to Jessica Harris and her wonderful craftsy class.

Since spring is refusing to come to me, I decided to go to spring! LOL. this is a 7” orange cake with orange buttercream covered in homemade marshmallow fondant (MMF) and decorated with fondant/modelling chocolate flowers. the robin is made from fondant. I made this cake as a way to try out a bunch of tricks and ideas I picked up in Jessica Harris’s new Craftsy class and for my birthday as well. Basically I wanted something spring like that made me smile! Thank you for looking (and think spring!)

My son is currently obsessed with Lego Ninjago so there was no doubt what he wanted for his birthday cake this year. We finally agreed that I would make the Tornado of Creation. This was my first attempt at properly structuring a cake and carving it. The process did not go as smoothly as I hoped it would but in the end, it came together. thanks for looking!

I made this 8” vanilla cake covered with whipped vanilla frosting and fondant decorations for my friends little boy. The kids had cupcakes for a sleepover party and then the family had the cake the following day at the party. Design inspiration from Sweet Pudgy Panda and Sweetapolita’s.

From the first moment I saw the “LOVE” cake by Eat Cake Be Merry, I immediately knew I had to use the concept for a thank you cake for the teachers at my children’s school. I ran into a number of problems with this one but in the end, I was happy with it. This is a 10” chocolate and vanilla cake with vanilla frosting covered with fondant and topped with a hand sculpted fondant figure sitting on a 6” cake board.

Merry Christmas everyone! I made this cookie tree for one of my children’s teachers. It stands about 12-13” tall and is made of a combination of chocolate and vanilla sugar cookies decorated with royal icing and sugar pearls. The snowman is hand made from fondant and it is all sitting on a 10” cake board covered with fondant. I wish you all a wonderful holiday surrounded with lots of love, laughter and happiness! ~ Jodie

I made this cake for my son’s 10th birthday. I figured an epic birthday called for an epic cake but we didn’t need that much cake. My solution was to make a dummy cake and serve cupcakes instead! This “cake” is 4”, 6”, 8” 10”. Inspiration came from Blue Cupcake.

My daughter ’s birthday cake. It’s an 8” vanilla bean cake with caramel buttercream and milk chocolate ganache decorated in fondant. The letters are fondant covered in ruby red disco dust. The small mirror and the bow on Snow White’s head band were done using Martha Stewart molds. For the large frame, I made a mold from a picture frame and then made an edible frame from fondant. From there I embellished it with sugar pearls and gold lustre dust. The mirror was made from melted Jolly Ranchers. It didn’t turn out as well as I was hoping, but it was effective. the figure was also hand sculpted from fondant. I made two versions of her head, one with a full face the other with only eyes. My daughter insisted on the full faced figure for the cake.

I was trying to come up with Winnie the Pooh designs for my cousin’s baby shower when Brenda over at Sugar High Inc posted her amazingly creative balloon cake. I just knew I had to combine the two ideas! This cake stood over 2’ high and made a lovely centerpiece. The cake is a 3 tier (4”, 6”, 10”) funfetti and chocolate cake covered in fondant balloons with hand sculpted Winnie the Pooh and Piglet figures. I approached this cake a little differently than Brenda did and took several pictures along the way. I have them posted on my facebook page.

I also created 4” Winnie the Pooh sugar cookie party favours for the guests to take home as a thank you for attending the shower.

Thanks for looking!

This is a 3 layer marble cake with vanilla buttercream covered in fondant. All the decorations are made out of fondant and are completely edible. This was my first attempt at a tree stump and my first time using an air brush.

These Vanilla Bean Cupcakes were made using the recipe posted here on Cakes Decor by ButRCream (http://cakesdecor.com/ButRCream/blog/92) and I can say they are very yummy. They are covered in a pink vanilla buttercream topped with fondant flowers, leaves, sugar pearls, rock candy and gelatin butterflies. The butterflies and the wands have pink disco dust for accent. The butterflies were inspired by the lovely and talented Jenn at Prima Plus Cakes (http://cakesdecor.com/cakes/13230).

This is a small 8” carrot cake covered in fondant. Everything, even the butterfly (made from gelatin) is edible!

Design is copied from Hello, Naomi cakes cupcakes cookies and was styled after the party invitation called “tea and tutus” by Style Me Gorgeous.

This two tier (8” & 6”) carrot cake covered in fondant was to help celebrate a new graduate from the EMS program. The ambulance on top is more whimsical than realistic and was hand crafted from RKTs and fondant.

An 8”, 3 layer chocolate cake with buttercream frosting all covered in fondant. The sun and the clouds are made from Rice Krispy Treats covered in fondant then hand painted to add some dimension. The horse, sheep and birthday cake are hand sculpted from fondant (no CMC added). This cake looks nothing like I was expecting it too but sometimes that’s a good thing.

Thank you to The Frosted Cake Boutique for the fantastic chocolate cake recipe which can be found in the recipe section here on Cakes Decor.

Design inspired by The Little Cherry Cake Company. Those rolling hills saved the day (or at least allowed me to go to bed at a somewhat reasonable time)! LOL

This is a 13×9” quarter slab carrot cake covered in cream cheese buttercream and fondant. The trees, bushes and pond are made with RKTs covered in fondant. The trees were then dusted with 3 or 4 shades of green to add some dimension. The pond water was done with a sparkling gel. The cake is completely edible.

While this is my own design, I did take a lot of inspiration from a couple of cakes by Lesley over at the Royal Bakery, and did a lot of brainstorming with my friend Jennifer.

This fondant topper is based on a piece of artwork by suisei-ojii-sama that depicts the Disney Princesses. This is my 3D fondant version of the Cinderella found on that poster. It stands approximately 5 1/2 inches tall.
