Ladybug Cake

A client asked me to make a cake for her daughter's first birthday. She sent me a picture of the plates they were using and I tried to match the theme and color scheme. The cake is a white with fresh, sliced strawberries in the middle. I am always trying to find ways to make more elements on my cakes edible, so the ladybugs are made of rice krispy treats, covered with marshmallow fondant.

A Star is Born Shower Cake

I made this cake for my friend, Autumn's baby shower. She is having a girl, but fruffy pink is not her style. She came up with "A Star is Born" theme and had movie decorations and games. I made this cake to fit that theme, and I think it is my favorite shower cake I've done. The little movie camera came out so cute. The cake was chocolate with raspberry filling. I had a good time at the shower and I am so excited for Autumn's little girl to arrive.

Baby Girl Shower Cake

Last weekend I made this cake for a baby shower. The customer just said to make something girly. This is pretty girly. The cake is marble with a chocolate cream inside and frosted with whipped cream frosting. I decorated with fondant ribbon roses and baby.

Minnie Mouse Cake

Last weekend I made this cake for a friend's little girl who was turning 3. It was actually a very simple cake - lots of circles! The hardest part was getting a true red when making the frosting. This was a lemon cake.

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.
