Skateboard Skull Cake

I had a customer send me a picture of this skateboard they were getting their 16 year old boy for his birthday. They asked if I could make a cake like it. This is what I came up with:

I made two 9 x 13 cakes and rounded off the edges. I frosted them and covered the top with fondant. I painted the skeleton light bulb with food dye and lemon extract. The wheels are made of Rice Krispy treats covered in fondant. The wheels were the hardest part. I also made a little round cake to be sure there was enough servings.

Lavender Wedding

My mom knew someone having a very small wedding and wanted them to have a little wedding cake. I made this white cake and frosted it. Then I piped on flowers and used a paint brush to make it look like embroidery. I made a lavender ribbon and bow to add the bride's color. It was very simple but turned out nice.

We wanted the bride to have a bouquet also. I have helped my sister do flowers and know just enough about it to come up with a simple bouquet and a boutonniere. I just went to Sam's club and had to work with the flowers they had on hand. This is what I came up with.

February Cakes

Last week I made two cakes that I had done before. This flower cake was for a little girl's dress up tea party. The girls came to pick it up with their mom and were so cute in their fancy dresses. This cake is turning into a favorite.

I also made a cake for twin boys that were getting baptized. Their mom had won the cake in an auction I had donated to, to help a friend's dad with medical expenses. I was so glad to help.

Nataly's Cake

I made this strawberry cake for a little girl who was turning 5. She had a flower theme party. I made the flowers and leaves out of marshmallow fondant and covered wire in green fondant. I attached them with water and they actually stuck together really well. The cake turned out cute and the birthday girl loved it.

Purple Roses Cake

I know I always say that I don't do wedding cakes, but when a regular customer asked me to make a small cake for her wedding I agreed to do it. She only needed 40 servings, so I thought I would just tell myself it was a floral birthday cake. The roses are made of fondant and the strawberry cake is frosted with white buttercream with ivory scroll work and ruffles.

Jolynn's Wedding Cake

My sister, Jolynn, disregarded my intense fear of making wedding cakes and asked me to make hers. She found a picture of a cake she loved online. The cake was inspired by a china pattern, hence the woodland animals and horse heads. I finally gave in and said I would make it. Things went fairly well, until the drive to the church. The cake started sliding off the cake board in the car and I was trying to hold it together and was screaming the whole way. When we got there, I had to do a few repairs but it all turned out and Jolynn loved it.


The flavors were a layer of red velvet, a layer of white, and a layer of chocolate. People really loved the red velvet and kept asking for it, but it ran out quickly.

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.
