Birthday cake and Graduation cake

This cake was actually made for 5 birthdays! However, the 

person whose birthday was on the day the cake was delivered 

is the one whose name I put on top. The rest of the names are around

the sides. My friend, Lynette, had dropped by earlier in the day 

and stayed to watch me decorate this cake. She had some good

ideas about the eyes, nose and mouth (which are the parts I 

have the hardest time with). So I scrapped my original plan

 and did what she suggested. I think it turned out much better than 

it would have. Thanks, Lynette! And, Happy Birthday, Allie, Evie, Kelley, 

Dillon, and Rachel!

This is a college graduation cake for my neighbor's daughter.

She is an amazing woman. A single mom, she has persevered 

through 6 years of college and is now off to be a Special Ed

teacher. She found a cake on Pinterest and asked if I could recreate

it. Honestly, and I rarely give myself props, I think I did a much 

better job than the original picture! This was  a very fun cake to make.

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!

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!

Polly Pocket birthday

This was a fun Polly Pocket cake for a sweet little 5 year old.

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!
