Welcome and Enjoy!!

Happy New Year!! This has been a great cake year for me and I am so glad that I have been able to share them with all of you. Some through just pictures and some through actually eating and enjoying the cakes. This year my goal is to improve more, help more, teach more, learn more, and keep getting better and better to eventually do cakes full time! Fingers crossed! I hope you all have sweet dreams and happy goals to chase after and conquer this year. Always remember.............its because you deserve it!

Lego Star Wars

This is one that I wish everyone could see in person. The background was airbrushed with silver shimmer so it looked like sparkly stars in space and then the faint red behind the characters was a deep sparkling red it was super pretty. The characters were pieced to gether and detailed using gumpaste and their light sabers were real glowsticks that would glow for the party. This cake was also a new flavor, chocolate cake with bavarian cream filling.

Lightning Mcqueen

Lightning Mcqueen did not exactly turn out like l would have liked, but he still looks great. After I made the chocolate cake and froze it I was able to carve out the shape. Unfortunately he is a little shorter than I wanted. It was still more than enough cake to feed the party though, so that makes it a success!

Mater Cake


This was a Cars sort of week. This was for one of my daycare kids, sort of last minute it took forever for him to make up his mind about what he wanted. So finally on the day it needed to be done he chose Mater! Surprisingly easy if you can believe it, it just sort of fell together. Its chocolate cake that I put in the freezer for an hour or so then it was much easier to carve out and cover with fondant, then airbrush and put the details on.

Missionary Shirt

A really nice lady wanted to celebrate her son coming home from his mission. This was a super yummy white cake with strawberry cream filling and covered with buttercream and fondant. It's pretty simple, but they loved it!

Frog Luau




This cake was so fun and pretty to make. A little girl was having a frog luau party for her birthday so I just kind of copied the napkins and plates to make the cake match. The frogs are made from frozen buttercream and the flowers and leaves are made from gumpaste.

Road of life cake













This cake was for a fellow daycare provoder whos husband was retiring from the Air Force. She wanted to do special moments throughout their life to highlight and share with their friends. She brought me some picture that I had printed out on ediblae paper and then put them onto dried gumpaste backgrounds to look like billboards along their road to retirement. The shape was pretty difficult but thanks to my super talented husband and the internet I was able to carve it out and make it look great!

Hunting cake



This cake was done for a little boys first birthday. His dad was big hunter so she wanted some thing camo with animals. Unfortunately I havent mastered the modeling yet so the animals are plastic toys, but the leaves and everything else are gum paste.
