In Bed Wathing TV Cake




When my friends asked me what kind of cake I was working on, I said, "It's a couple in bed......watching TV." It sounded a little naughty for a second. I thought the couple turned out cute and I made Heroes logo on the TV because that was one of the birthday girl's favorite show (luckily she liked a show with an easy logo!)

Hello Kitty Cake


This is a cake I made for one of my daughter's friends. There are 5 girls that do everything together. Heather wanted a Hello Kitty cake and when I showed up at the party with this, the girls loved it. Heather told me her grandma (who is a very talented cake decorator) wouldn't let them eat the Hello Kitty figure because it was too cute.

Baby Einstein Cake


My friend's little boy was turning 1 and she asked me to make a Baby Einstein cake. The cake was white with buttercream frosting and the decorations were made of marshmallow fondant. I spent forever trying to get the elephant's trunk to point up and couldn't get it. He's still cute though.

Video Poker Cake


This cake was a challenge. The only thing I knew about Video Poker was they have the machines at 7-11. I actually went to a 7-11 store and took some photos. I didn't even know what a good hand would be, I went with 4 aces because that would be easier to make than face cards. It is a white cake filled with custard and fresh strawberries.

Sea Turtle


I made this cake for a little girl who was have a luau themed party, and the mom had requested a turtle. There is a little cake under the shell and the rest of the turtle is made from Marshmallow fondant. I liked the way the coral looking pieces behind the turtle turned out. They are pieces of fondant that were rolled out and had little circles cut into it and dried on a curved surface.

Hannah Montana cake


Last week I made 3 cakes for girls that were turning 6. This one was Hannah Montana themed. The bottom layer is a star with zebra print. The top layer is round with black fondant stars. The girl's name is across the front with a country and rock guitar made of fondant on either side. The cake is topped with the Hannah Montana logo and six stars. I really liked how the logo turned out. I used a small round decorating tip to imprint on the wording.

Princess Castle Cake


This cake was inspired by one found on the Freed's Bakery site. I was having one of those nights when nothing went right. The flowers I had made previously were way too big and the vines looked bad, and I couldn't get the towers to stay. I was a rough night, but I got through it and the cake turned out cute. The mom had bought little princess figurines and was going to put them around the cake.
