Cub Scout Blue & Gold cake #1. The scarf is made from fondant. The rest is chocolate cake with raspberry filling covered in buttercream frosting.




Cub Scout Blue & Gold cake #2. The invitations were mock pocket knives, so they wanted one of the cakes to imitate them. This cake was a basic yellow cake with chocolate filling and covered in buttercream. The knife is made from fondant.



I made this simple cake to see if it would survive being tossed around by the postal service and it did! It's a chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream and covered with chocolate marshmallow fondant. The flowers, leaves and bee are made from gum paste.



This is a 10 inch round chocolate cake with orange flavored buttercream frosting. The client wanted the Toy Story theme for her little boy, who was turning 3. He loved it.



My first 'pillow' cake! I just made this one for fun (and to to see if I could do it).

Busy Saturday

This cake is a marbled chocolate and yellow cake with a stabalized whipped frosting. The golf bag, clubs and flag are made out of gum paste and the putting green is made out of fondant.



This cake is for Alondra and Emily's birthday party. One loves pink and the other loves blue and this is what they came up with. The flowers are made with blue fondant and have a soft pink candy pearl in the center. The top tier is a yellow cake with strawberry filling, strawberry frosting and strawberry fondant and the bottom is chocolate cake with the same strawberry everything! (I think they like strawberries?)

Valentine Cupcakes


These were for the kids' classes at school. They were chocolate cake with buttercream frosting and topped with fondant hearts that were sprinkled with pink shimmer dust. Cute, huh?

Sweet 16

This one is for a girl who's turning 16 today. Her mom called and said, "She likes chocolate and the colors for her party are black, silver and pink. Do what you want!" So I had a lot of fun with this one. I couldn't find silver pearls anywhere so I ended up making my own with silver shimmer dust and white pearls. I think it turned out pretty cute! What do you think??

Garbage Truck Cake!


This cake was covered with fondant. I used gum paste to make the garbage cans and pieces of paper that are laying around. The four year old I made it for was super excited. It turned out pretty good!

January 25th

This is a chocolate cake with a regular buttter cream frosting and then covered with marshmallow fondant. I made leaves out of white chocolate to decorate with. All in all, not too difficult to make.

Past Cakes

I've decided that it'd be fun to start a blog to show off some of the cakes I've made and to get ideas on new creations. If you have suggestions I'd love to hear them! Please keep in mind that some of these were made while I was still taking classes and 'learning the ropes'.This is the UFC Fight Ring cake I made for a woman's 40th(?) birthday. I didn't mold the fighters - they were purchased from Toys R Us! Hahaha!
















The Sorting Hat from Harry Potter.















It's funny to me that the grown men are the ones that ask for the super hero cakes!














A Barbie cake for a little girl turning 4.














There's a 19 year old girl I know who asked me to make her a TMNT cake for her birthday and this is what I came up with. I'm pretty sure she liked it - lots of smiles and squeals.














My little sister's wedding cake. I covered it in fondant and then made Gerber daisies out of gum paste. This was fun to make.














I made this one for the dinner after our baby's blessing. That brown blob on the back corner is supposed to be a monkey - I failed. Let's just say that I'm not so good at molding characters! Maybe I'll just have to practice some more.














Learning how to make bows out of fondant.














I saw this one in a book and just thought it looked fun. (And yummy)














My first stacked cake.














I was learning how to make the basket weave pattern as well as flowers in my classes and this is what I came up with as a final cake. (The flowers are poinsettias, in case you couldn't tell. LOL)















My snowflake cake! I added shimmer dust to the snowflakes to make them sparkle.














These are a couple sheet cakes that I made for a cub scout shin-dig.















This is one of the first cakes I made. I have to admit that I made this on an 'off' day. I was expecting baby number 4 and he was giving me a HARD TIME!
