Bridal Shower


I made this cake for a bridal shower. It is white cake with lemmon filling (my favorite). I used the bride's invitations as inspiration and the colors came out spot on. She seemed excited when she picked it up. I am doing her wedding in a few weeks!

Skulls and Crossbones


A friend asked me to make a cake for her neice's birthday. She said the little girl just loved skulls and crossbones. I thought that a little strange until I started looking online. There are some really cute skulls out there. This is a white cake with buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant decorations. The hearts on top are fondant and are attached to sucker sticks. It turned out to be a very cute cake - even with skulls!

Elmo


I made this Elmo cake for a client last weekend. I made the Elmo from a 3D bear pan. I used my "secret recipe" that makes the cake more moist - but the bear caved in! It took until my third try. I thought that it all turned out cute though. The cake was for a first birthday, so the baby Elmo was perfect.

Fun Flower Cakes



Last week I had two bright floral cakes. The first was for our ward's Relief Society Birthday Party. They were using primary colors for the decorations, so I went with a yellow scheme. It is a white cake with lemon filling.

That weekend I also did a cake for a 1st birthday. The mom had brought over the plates she was using and I used that as inspiration. The plates were bright colors with white polka dots, edged in lime green, and had colorful daisies in the center. It was a layer of white and a layer of chocolate.
