Yoda Star Wars Cake


I made this cake for my son's 6th birthday party. This is a 9 inch lemon cake. The Yoda on top is pretty big and is made of Rice Krispy Treats then covered in fondant. Seth loved it!

Pink Buckle Wedding

I made this cake for a bride who was married early in August. This is the biggest cake I have ever made. Each layer is white cake with a different flavor filling-lemon, chocolate, strawberry, and raspberry sour cream. I also made a sheet cake that was chocolate cake with Oreo filling. I was a little nervous about how the cake would hold up outdoors in the Vegas heat, but heard all was well.

Spiderman Cake & Cupcakes


I made this cake and cupcakes for a little boy who was turning 4. The cake was small so we used small action figures instead of making them with fondant. It was a marble cake with marble cupcakes. The birthday boy requested green and blue cupcakes.

Daffy Duck


A client asked me to make a Daffy Duck cake. They wanted the package to be red with silver ribbon. I can't really make silver, so I had to get a real ribbon. The character was made of fondant.

Camryn's Baptism Cake

I made this cake for my daughter's baptism. One layer was a white cake with strawberry filling and the other was chocolate cake with Oreo filling. Camryn had the flu that day, and while she made it through the baptism, she wasn't up to eating cake and we had to save her some.

Princess Peach Car Cake



A client asked for a Princess Peach cake, like one a had made a few months ago. Due to a time crunch this week, I agreed, but needed to use a toy topper rather than spend several hours making Princess Peach out of fondant. The cake still turned out cute. The top layer was white with a strawberry filling and the bottom layer was white and chocolate with an Oreo Filling.

Harry Potter Cake


My daughter, Alexis, turned 13 this week, so we threw her a Harry Potter party, that included going to the midnight showing.


This was a marble cake, with ivory buttercream frosting. The sorting hat was made of Rice Krispy Treats, covered in fondant. The hat was fun to make and turned out great.

Candyland Cake



This was a 3 layer cake - chocolate with Oreo filling, white with strawberry filling, and marble with chocolate filling. I made the lollipops out of fondant, and used candy to decorate the rest of the cake. The castle topper is cake-filled ice cream cones that are frosted and topped with fondant cherries. It looks similar to the castle at the end of the game.

Flower Baby Shower Cake


I made this cake for a baby shower we were throwing for a friend. The plates were striped with pink daisies on them, so I went with making a cake with a baby sleeping, wrapped in one of the petals. This cake was a lemon cake with a lemon gel filling.

Anniversary Cake


My neighbor asked me to make a cake for his wife for their anniversary. We decided on a red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. I thought it would be a good idea to copy their wedding cake and he wanted figures of their whole family on top - so this is what I came up with. I've never made so many little people for a cake before, it took a while!

Cars Cake


This was a 6 inch yellow sponge cake with peach filling. Because the cake was so small, I had to buy toys to go on top rather than make the Cars characters out of fondant.

Wolf Cake


I made this chocolate cake for a little girl turning 8. I really liked how the forest scene turned out. The little stream is marshmallow fondant with corn syrup painted over it to give it a glossy, wet look. The little girl loved it so much, they still haven't cut the cake!

Preschool 2011 Cake


Last Wednesday was my little Preschool class' graduation. I made this lemon cake to have after our short program. I made a little face of each kid with their name and the second row had crayons made of marshmallow fondant. The kids were cute and I will miss them next year.

White Engagement Cake


I made this cake for a client whose co-worker had just gotten engaged. The top layer was white with a raspberry filling and the bottom was chocolate. I flowers were really cute, I just wish the picture had turned out better.

Librarian Cake

I gave Camryn's 1st grade teacher a gift certificate for a cake and she finally cashed it in when she got her Master's Degree in Library Science. This year she has been the librarian at Beatty ES, but now she is official. She told me what some of her favorite books are, so I dried fondant squares and painted her favorite characters with food dye. Here they are - Fancy Nancy, Splat the Cat, Skippyjon Jones, Duck, Gerald, and Piggie.


I put the squares around the cake with Ms. Robertson sitting on the little couch in her library reading a book.


It was a chocolate cake with Oreo filling.

Hot Pink Minnie Mouse Cake


This is another version of the Minnie Mouse Cake that I made for a client. This is the biggest one that I have made with an extra pink polka dot layer on the bottom. The top two layers were white cake and the bottom layer was chocolate.

Hairdresser Cake


A client ordered this cake for his sister who is a hairdresser. It was a white cake with lemon filling. I used gumpaste to make the curler so it would keep it's form.

Lil' Rebel 1st Birthday Cake

A client was using these paper goods for her son's 1st birthday and asked me to make something to match.


She wanted the cake to be in a #1 shape, so this is what I came up with. It is a marble cake with custard filling.


She wanted a "messy" smash cake for her little guy. This is a chocolate cake with chocolate custard filling.

Princess Peach Cake



I made this Princess Peach Cake for a little girl who was turning 7. I loved all the little pieces around the cake. I am not a gamer, but even I know the Super Mario Brothers levels.
