Guitar Hero Cake #2


I don't always post remakes of cakes that I have done in the past - but this one deserves it. At the end of last school year we gave Camryn's teacher, Mrs. Schott, a coupon for a cake and she decided to redeem it for her son Jackson's birthday. He saw the Guitar Hero cake on my website and wanted it. It is the size of the actual game guitar. Jackson looked pretty excited when they picked it up and they were practically mobbed by the neighborhood kids, almost all of them had Mrs. Schott and loved her as much as Camryn did.

I will be out of town and then working on my sister's wedding cake through December 20th. I will not be taking any orders for that period of time. Feel free to contact me about future orders and I will respond as quickly as I can.

Thank you,

USC Cake




I made this cake for a big USC fan who was having a birthday. I said yes to making it before checking out the USC logo. The Trojan was hard to reproduce in fondant, but turned out pretty good. The cake was chocolate with buttercream frosting.


CTR Cake

I made this CTR Cake for my nephew who was baptized this month. His mom wanted to keep it simple, so we went with a white buttercream frosting with fondant ribbon and dots and a fondant CTR shield. The top layer was white cake with a raspberry sour cream filling and the bottom layer was chocolate with Oreo filling. I am so proud of Zack and was happy to make this cake to celebrate this special occasion.

Vampire Cake


I made this vampire cake for a girl turning 11. Her party was around Halloween and I somehow managed to forget to post this. I wanted the cake to be cute and fun, because the girl was younger. I think the cartoony vampire worked. This same week I also made another Twilight cake for a girl the same age.

Leanna's Sweet Sixteen

Soccer friends asked if I would do a cake for their older daughter's Sweet Sixteen party. She picked a very sophisticated cake - this wedding cake (the middle one) she saw on the TLC show Cake Boss.

I am not much of a piper, but I think it turned out good and I really like the large flowers. Thank goodness for YouTube instructional videos that showed how to make them. The bottom layer is chocolate with chocolate buttercream filling and the top layer is the family's red velvet cake recipe.

King of the Jungle Baby Shower Cake


A client was throwing a baby shower and asked me to make a marble cake that would match the King of the Jungle decorations she had gotten on partypail.com. This is what I came up with.


I was working on my son's Diego cake and was able to make similar decorations all at the same time. It worked out great.
