It's been a while since I have posted a cake.

Truth is, I am working full-time now and don't really have the time.

This cake, I couldn't turn down because I wanted to make the sofa

so bad! I am so pleased with how it turned out!

All of the aspects of this cake turned out better

than I thought they would. It was so much fun!

Metal Militia and Ariel cakes

 This is a Metal Militia cake made

for a friend's son. I am pretty pleased with

how this turned out. I did the skull and

helmet with fondant. The 24/7 is the number

 of the birthday boy's dirt bike when he races.

Under The Sea

This Ariel cake was made for a dear friend

of mine and her precious daughter.

I am pretty happy about how it turned out.

The clam shell and sea shells are fondant

that I painted with edible dust.

Baby Bump

I have always wanted to do a Baby Bump cake.

Someone finally asked me to and I have to admit,

it was a very fun cake to decorate!

The tummy is a marble cake with 

cookies and cream filling and

 the "chest" is funfetti!

Dalek Cake

This is a Dalek from Dr. Who.

I love it when I get asked to try a

technique I haven't tried before. 

I love the way the sides of this cake

turned out. I don't know what this

technique is called, but I call it "super fun"!

The cake flavor is chocolate with 

cookies-n-cream filling. 

An attempt at "Gormet" Cupcakes

A friend of mine gets the "cupcake of the month" 

delivered to her at work. The cupcakes are always

so amazing and I realized that I really need to step up my game.

These are Salted Caramel Chocolate cupcakes. They

are chocolate cake, with caramel inserted then a

dark chocolate buttercream with a drizzle of 

caramel and pink Himalayan sea salt on top.

They were delicious, if I do say so myself. However, 

you definitely need at least one glass of milk per cupcake!

Birthdays and a Graduation cake

 The above cake traveled to Twin Falls, Idaho 

for the graduation celebration of my friend's son,

Avery! Congrats, Avery! This cake was chocolate

with cookies n cream filling.

 The Chevy cake was for my neighbor's grandson,

Dillon. I remember the day Dillon was born and now

he's 16! That is ridiculous! This was a yellow cake

with cookies n cream filling and chocolate buttercream frosting.

This springtime-y cake was to celebrate the 

birthday of a beloved teacher. The student's mom

really wanted to show this teacher how much she was appreciated.

This was a strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream filling.

Happy Birthday, Mrs. Nichols!

 This girl. She is full of life and laughter. I have 

known her since she was 6 months old, and here she is, 

graduating! Congratulations, Hayley!

This cake was so much fun to make. Yet another cake

that I said "yes" to, not knowing if I was really capable of 

creating it! It was also my first vegan cake. The response

on the flavor and taste..."It tasted GREAT!" I am one happy camper.

Angel Dog Cake

 I made this cake for a customer who told me that her

daughter wanted her birthday cake to be an 

Angel Dogs cake in memory of their dog, Jerry,

who passed away a few months ago.

I had never heard of Angel Dogs before, so I looked it up,

and they sure and cute! I made the heads and bodies of 

the dog out of crumbled cake with buttercream

frosting mixed in and then I covered and made the

rest of the dogs with fondant.

Amyah loved her cake! I love making cakes because

they make people happy!

T-Shirt and Chanel Cake

 This week, I made a very suave Chanel cake for a customer's

daughter's 18th birthday.  This cake was a white cake with 

strawberry buttercream filling.

 This T-Shirt cake, I made for a customer who always

puts a lot of thought into her cake choices. This cake is for

her dad who turned 70. He loves getting a good bargain.

This is his favorite brand of t-shirt, Life Is Good, and he got

a killer deal on it as you can see from the picture below!

Cityscape cake for "Finnzilla"

I was asked to make a cityscape cake for a very special

first birthday for Finn. Finn is a very busy one year old and he has

earned the nickname "Finnzilla". With this in mind, his mom

thought it would be fun to have a photo session with him

dressed as Finnzilla tearing apart a city cake. She trusted me

to make the cake for this very special occasion.

Finn's mom showed me a picture of the cake she had in mind.

As is always the case with pictures, the actual cake never looks

exactly the same because of different technique, the level of 

the artist's ability and difference in mediums. I am very thankful

that Finn's mom was gracious and appreciated my vision for Finn's cake

Fall Bridal Shower Cake

This is a fall bridal shower cake. 

I made fondant leaves and then lightly

sprayed them with edible gold spray.

of the cake and it is "rough" frosted.

has cream cheese buttercream frosting.

I love the way this one turned out.

Beach Cake

This cake was for my neighbor's granddaughter, Katy. 

I think I have made all of Katy's birthday cakes since

 she was born. Her mom called me the next day and said 

that the cake was the highlight of Katy's day because

it rained all day and she couldn't have a water

fight. So, the cake was the highlight. What a nice thing to say!
