Mod Flowers on a Cake

This cake was really cute when it was done.  I love these mod flowers.  They're so adorable!  This was for a little girl who was turning two.  Since it was a fall birthday, they wanted more orange flowers on it than pink, but the colors on the cake really pop against the white fondant background.  The little white dots add a little something special to it as well.

Polka Dot Palooza

So, this cake has a bit of a story behind it!  I usually request a minimum of a 1-2 week notice.  This client called me late Friday night and wanted to pick it up Sunday morning.  I don't work on Saturdays, so I was really time crunched!  I started about 8:30 Saturday night and worked until 2:00 in the morning.  I also had problems with one of my batters, so I had to re-bake some of the layers.  Needless to say, it was a stressful night!  They also wanted it to be covered in fondant, which takes more time than buttercream frosting.  Thankfully, the cake turned out in the end, and looked really fun!

Baby Carriage Cake

This cake was created for a baby shower.  It was originally going to be for about 40 people, so I planned on doing a 12 inch in diameter cake for the carriage and two 6 inch mini cakes for the wheels.  At the last minute, I was notified that there would only be about 10 people attending the shower.  I decided to do an 8 inch in diameter cake with 4 inch mini cakes.  It came out looking exactly how the customer wanted it to.  :)  It was a chocolate cake with Vanilla Buttercream and Chocolate Frosting for the dark accents.  It turned out really cute!  It was fun because it was kind of a retro design, and I don't get to do all that many retro type cakes.  Bring them on! 

Chic Purse Birthday Cake

This cake began with a disaster!  I made the cake, put the fillings in, stacked it and carved it.  I then put it in the refrigerator to chill.  When I opened the refrigerator a while later the whole cake had fallen apart into many peices!  I had to start all over again!  I tweaked the recipe to make it more stable and it turned out really cute!  It was our Strawberry Cake with Blackberry Filling and Cream Cheese Frosting Filling.  It got rave reviews!  It is covered in fondant and all the decorations are edible fondant.

Pink Zebra Stripes Birthday Cake

This cake was made for a 5 year old girl's birthday party.  She loves zebra stripes and was determined to have them on her birthday cake!  She also wanted something "fluffy" on it, so I gave it a fluffy-looking border around the bottom.  Her mom wanted a Classic White Cake, so I decided to put a little food coloring in some of the layers, so they alternated white and pink--like the outside of the cake!  She wanted a Chocolate Creme Filling.  The little girl was very excited when she saw her cake and her father told me that the cake was a huge hit.  They took it to her school to celebrate her birthday.  He said there wasn't any left! 

You're A Star Going Away Cake

This cake was made for a friend who was joining the Peace Corps and being sent to Ukraine.  She had a secret love of watching Hannah Montana, so her going away party was Hannah Montana themed.  This cake was made to match the colors and theme.  The silver stars and polka dots are made using edible lustre dust.  This was a 4 layer Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake with Chocolate Peppermint Ganache filling.  It is iced in Peppermint Buttercream Frosting.  This was a 9 inch cake.

Mini Cooper Cake

This cake was made for a Mini Cooper owner.  Her husband requested that the cake be a Mini Cooper and that flowers should be included.  I decided to go with fondant to give the car a really smooth look.  I also decided to go with a bright orange car and bright pink flowers to give a fun, almost 70s look.  The cake was a Strawberry Cake with Lemon Curd Creme Filling.  It was fun making all the little details for the cake.  I used lustre dust to create the chrome accents on the car.

Ribbons & Bows First Birthday Cake

During the wedding reception, I was asked to make this cake.  They were impressed with the wedding cake and loved the flavor, so they asked if I would make the cake for their little girl's first birthday party.  They chose the Ribbons & Bows theme and chose their colors.  They also decided to have Strawberry Cake and Strawberry Filling.  The pink of the inside really complimented the pink of the frosting!  All decorations are edible (except for the stick holding up the birthday sign.)

Their comments about the cake:

"The cake was beautiful.  We didn't feel like cutting it yesterday.  Everyone admired your work.  Thank you soooooooooooooooo much!  It tasted good too.  Thanks again...."

Lingerie Cake

So we also made the cake for our friend's bachelorette party/lingerie shower.  It was a black and pink theme, so we made it a three layer cake.  The first layer was Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake, then a layer of Strawberry Cake, then another layer of the Dark Chocolate Fudge cake.  Our filling was a white Cream Cheese Filling.  It looked great when it was cut!  The boobies we made like Cake Balls.  The entire cake was covered in Buttercream Frosting.  The dark frosting was Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. The polka dots and lace were made of fondant/gum paste.  The cake was baked in 9 x 13 pans and then I just carved it with a knife.
