Confirmation Cake and Crime Fighters


This cake was for my neighbor's grandson's Confirmation.
It was the first time I had made a book cake. I think it turned out
very nice. The bookmark is fondant.

Happy 5th Birthday, Nick. Scooby says, "Rooby rooby roooooo!"
This was such a fun cake to make. The dog biscuits are made from
modeling chocolate and are completely edible. Yumm!

A Skiing Birthday and Polka Dots Galore!

 This cake is for a sweet little girl who loves skiing! It was a chocolate cake with chocolate 
buttercream filling. Happy Birthday, Ryann!
#girlskiingcake
These two cakes were for my dear client's husband's 40th and her dad's birthday.
She is such a dear person. The skiing birthday cake for Ryann was her order also.
Knowing that I had a lot on my plate, she requested easier cakes for her husband and her dad
since they were all due the same week. So the 40th cake is also Chocolate with Chocolate 
buttercream. The cake for "Pop" is Spice with Almond buttercream. YUM!

Hello Kitty and Heirlooms

This is a Hello Kitty cake that had mustaches all along
the side and she had a mustache. The young lady likes Hello Kitty and mustaches are such a trend now that her sweet aunt thought that this
would be a fun way to incorporate both! I think it turned out cute.

This is an "Heirloom" Baby Shower Cake. I just met the young mother-to-be. She told me that they were celebrating her mom's 50th and the baby.
They decided to do an "Heirloom" baby shower. The items given to
the baby would be something that he would one day pass down to his
kids. This was a fun cake because it was for a new customer and I had
 the priviledge of meeting her parents; they were all so sweet I just thought,
"What a joy to meet such wonderful people!" I love that cake decorating has
afforded me that opportunity!

A Not-So-Frilly Sweet 16 Cake


My Darling Daughter is not your typical, frilly 16 year old. This year, for her birthday, she wanted a WWE wrestling ring birthday cake. Here you go, sweetheart! The top layer is chocolate peanut butter with peanut butter/peanut butter cup filling. The bottom layer is white almond sour cream with raspberry filling. MMMM, good!

Cake Pop Practice Cake

I love a challenge. Recently, a family member asked me if I would make a Cake Pop cake for her wedding. Having never made one, I told her I would have to practice. I love practicing because it broadens my horizons and gives me the chance to try new cake flavors, which my family loves! This time I made a Chocolate Peanut Butter cake. It is delicious. Very moist. It made really great tasting cake pops.


I tried two techniques. I "glued" the cake pops on the cake with buttercream and I tried sticking them in with the lollipop sticks. Both worked. I was also thinking I might try sticking them on with corn syrup. I'll do that next time. I really need to work on making the balls a consistent size, but, other than that, it worked! Yay!

Birthday cakes!

 This cake was for my friend's husband who is the Den leader of their son's Boy Scout troop. I wrote the Boy Scout pledge all around the sides of the cake.
 This cake was supposed to be Duck Dynasty themed. I couldn't figure out how to make those Duck Dynasty guys out of frosting. So, I made a duck hunter and then wrote quotes from Duck Dynasty on the sides.

The above cake is my second fully, fondant cake. It has black diamonds and blue flowers  connecting them.

This cake is a Green Bay Packers cake for  a Packers enthusiast.
