The cake design was based on the Eric Carle book. I <3 the hippo!!

I made this cake for my little girl’s fourth birthday. I used Cake Fixation’s tutorial, and was very pleased with how it turned out. When we lit the cake sparkler, her face was priceless!!

What a fun cake to do! Diamond plate bottom tier with bolted on lettering, and then a checkered banding on the top tier. The Dirt Ramp is made of cocoa krispy treats. I also did matching cookies, monster truck tires and checkered pennants.

Cake bling! Ombre coral chevrons with rhinestone accents and a pretty turquoise flower.

This chocolate and teal tuxedo cake was such an elegant touch for a commitment ceremony. Ganache with fondant accents.

I loved the way this cake turned out. I think the buttercream ruffles are just as impressive as fondant, and it comes together SO much faster. :)

This cake was made for an Over the Hill surprise party. The gum paste dentures were a first for me. After 2 failed attempts to match up the white and pink gum paste in the mold I made to line up correctly with the teeth and gums, I just stuffed the whole mold with white and then painted the gums on after they had dried a little.

A royal icing horse and rope lasso boarder make for a fun birthday cake!

Royal icing transfers decorate this swiss buttercream cake.

Such a pretty cake. Peonies are my favorite flower, and I was so happy to see them take the stage. And I loved the cake stand, made by a friend of the bride. It really helped to make the simple design pop.

The sprinkles are homemade, and the UNC logo is a royal icing transfer.

The triceratops is done in fondant, the cake is covered in buttercream. Chocolate cake with salted caramel buttercream filling.

I used the petal effect to make the ice cream of my banana split cake. The cake layers are strawberry and flourless chocolate cake, and I used banana flavored pastry cream for filling.

This was my first try at adding a figure to the top of a cake. Would you believe I didn’t add picks to the bottom of his feet?? Luckily, everything turned out alright in the end. :)

The was my very first wedding cake. :)

Scrollwork on this buttercream cake makes for simple elegance.

Inspired by the Damask Cake in Martha Stewart’s Wedding Cake book. Iced in buttercream and decorations are royal icing transfers.

One third white fondant, two thirds kelley green, a pink ribbon and some sparkles make a pretty cake. But the wow factor comes from the stenciling. I used stiff royal icing for the stenciling.

Ariel, flounder and other decorations were done in royal icing. The cake is covered in swiss buttercream.
