The 71yr. old birthday “boy” was actually gone fishin when I delivered the cake. LOL

This was for a friend’s first baby shower. She sent me a picture of what she wanted. I think she was pleased.

Cake was WASC with buttercream filling and icing. All accents were fondant. One ladybug was red velvet. The other was pink velvet from my Velvet Cake Line. It has a tropical flavor.

This cake suffered heat stroke. It fell. Can you tell? No one at the party seemed to mind. I was quite disgustd and embarrassed of the leaning cake. If it had not been for that, it would have been so classy. Even the fondant roses fell, and the fondant “K” topper broke in half. Aarrrggghhh!!!

I attempted to make the cake a replica of a friend’s new house. I could see all the imperfections, but the recipient and her guests all loved the cake. I know the cake was delicious. The bottom layer (the lawn) was an almond butter flavored sheet cake. The house was two WASC layer cakes. One was filled with praline buttercream, the other was filled with almond infused buttercream. The peak of the roof was RKT. It was fun to make. Trees, mailbox, and all other accents were made with 50/50 fondant and gumpaste (which I no longer use…I just add tylose powder to my fondant).

I had a challenge to make this cake. I couldn’t figure out how to make the rails. I didn’t have confidence in anything I thought of. But, I had to go with something. The headboard and footboard were made of cardboard covered in fondant. The rails were made with wooden dowels wrapped in fondant. It held up beautifully while traveling across town about 6 miles on bumpy streets. I also completely decorated the cake table. These shots don’t show the full effect, but it was nicely done. Cake was almond butter flavored, with white chocolate buttercream filling and icing.

The cake was WASC, which seems to be everyone’s favorite, buttercream filling and buttercream icing.

They come in vanilla cake, with all flavor icings….lemon, vanilla, chocolate, caramel, cream cheese, strawberry, etc. One customer even wanted apple jelly as icing.

This birthday cake was for a lady who loves purple

My first gumpaste shoe. It came out pretty good for a first try.

WASC cake with cookies & cream filling and vanilla buttercream icing.

Some thought this was fingernail polish, but it was supposed to be lip gloss. The birthday girl loved it.

Cake flavor: vanilla with chocolate rum marble.
Goodies on top: chocolate covered rum balls, chocolate covered cookies, & chocolate covered peanut butter cups.

I was so proud of this cake. It was a hit at the shower…especially the two teddy bear cakes. I was just so happy to have stacked the tiers secure enough to travel several miles with NO mishaps.

This was a disaster. I got to the venue 30 minutes after my expected arrival time, and the venue was not open. No one was there to let me out. It was hottt outside….and humid…which will ruin a cake. The buttercream started to melt and bleed through the ribbon. Oh, it was horrible. When the customer arrived, she took one look at the cake and called it beautiful. So, there you have it. I guess we are our own worst critics. LOL.

This was a challenge given to me by my God child for his 12th birthday. I didn’t know how I would do it, but I di! I painted the fondant black. It never dried completely. I should have done it at least 2 days in advance instead of 1 &&& I could have thinned the color out a little more. But, I live in New Orleans, which is known for high humidity. It may or may not have ever dried completely. Who knows. The birthday boy LOVED it, and so did his guest. Nothing more to ask for!

Trying the ruffle technique.

For a quiet at home birthday celebration.

A baby shower for a co-worker.

For a birthday party. I was told the guest loved the cake. I received several orders after that party.
