Twins!

How fun to be able to make the birthday cake for twin one year old girls!  Not only did they get this cute pink zebra cake, but they each got their own smash cake as well!

Venturian


When I asked Cade what he wanted his birthday cake to look like, this is not what I was expecting!  Venturian is a YouTuber (if that is a word) that Cade likes to follow and watch his videos.  Anyway, Cade wanted Venturian's logo on his cake!  
This is the first time I covered a cake with buttercream instead of fondant.  I only used fondant for the decorations.

A Little Man is on the Way

This cake is one of the largest I have made.  AND it was for a new costumer.  (A person who was at the birthday party with the Toy Story cake.)  Those two items together always make me nervous.  However, it all turned out as planned!

Pool Time

I've done a similar cake before.  This was for a 16th birthday girl who also happens to be an exceptional swimmer!

Toy Story

Who doesn't love the Toy Story movies?  This birthday boy watches the movies non-stop so it is fitting that he celebrates his 2nd birthday with a Toy Story cake.

A New Challenge

I like new challenges, but my fear of disappointing the recipient is always in the back of my head.    The new challenge in this cake was using edible markers to draw the design.

Despite my nerves, I think I nailed this one!

Chocolate Lover

Cade and I created this candy cake by combining many ideas we got from other cakes.  It was the easiest cake I have made in a while!

Back to the Dark Side

Cameron's 11th birthday rolled around and to my surprise he wanted a Darth Vader cake.  I decided to carve the mask out of cake before covering it with fondant.  I was pleased with how it turned out although I must admit I find myself not being as picky when the cake is for my own family.  I had many flaws like cracked fondant and rough seams that I would have fixed had it been for a client.

Here Comes the Bride

Today at work we celebrated with two of our colleagues as they countdown to their wedding day! Instead of a cake, we had a cupcake bar!

So simple, yet so fun!

It's a Boy!

I had the privilege of making a cake today in celebration of a new baby boy!


Minecraft

Minecraft is all the rave with every kid these days!  It is no different for one of Cade's friends who requested a Minecraft cake for his birthday.

For those of you like me who know very little about this pixely looking game, this is a Creeper.

Artist

The pressure is on when you are making a cake for an artist! I hope this meets the standard!

New Products, New Ideas

Minecraft is the new rave right now so it was no surprise that Cade wanted a Minecraft cake.  The idea was simple enough, but basically creating a mosaic with tiny squares sure is time consuming!  But of course it is all worth it to make my little guy's 7th birthday special!


I love when I get to experiment with new products!  While it is exciting, at the same time it can make me a little uneasy since the need for the new products to work as I have planned is crucial to the success of the cake.  With this cake I used 2 new products.  I used tinted piping gel to create the "water" and I used gum-tex in some fondant to make it harden.

Happy birthday, son!

Cameron's birthday has rolled around yet again.  He's turning 9 years old!  So hard for me to believe!  His passion continues to involve WWE wrestling so nothing less than a great cake for him!  I had a great time creating this wrestling ring for him.  Love you, buddy!

Peace

I made this cake for a cutie who is turning 8 years old.   I made a cake for her 5th birthday which is hard to believe was three years ago already!  Happy birthday, Lola girl!

Thanks

It is so sweet to know your costumers love your cakes!

Neon is Back

I love seeing the neon colors of my childhood coming back.  Too funny!  This cake was inspired by those 80s colors, but with a modern twist with the zebra stripes.

Chocolate Lover

This 9 year old must LOVE chocolate!  Happy birthday, Makenna!

My cousin's daughter, Kelsie, celebrated her 18th birthday with this cake!


Dora the Explorer is my nightmare.  I made several attempts to add her to this cake, but either my creative juices weren't flowing or the details of her eyes and body truly are difficult to recreate with fondant.  Whichever it is, I just couldn't pull it off with the quality I would have been happy with.  Instead I created a cute cake for a cute birthday girl.
