New Cakes

2011-02-05T22:05:00.002-06:00

I know it has been awhile, but here are a couple new cakes.

I also have made a new flavor...Fresh Apple Cake with Apple Buttercream Icing.

Percy Jackson

2010-06-27T19:42:00.002-05:00

This cake was for a friend's son's birthday. I marbled the buttercream icing to create the stormy look of the book cover. I used silver edible glitter for the lightning rod and yellow edible glitter for the letters.

High School Grad

2010-06-27T19:34:00.002-05:00

This was for a girl graduating from GHS and going to Baylor. I was told she was a girly girl, but she likes thing simple. So it was decided I would make the cake white buttercream with green and yellow fondant polka dots. Also I layered the green and yellow fondant for the "Baylor Bound".

Bank Cake

2010-06-27T19:13:00.002-05:00

This year I was suffering from a back issue so I did not get very creative with the CES bank cake. I did make it a chocolate/French Vanilla marble cake. I made a brick pattern and added a "$" sign.

Wedding Shower

2010-06-27T19:05:00.002-05:00

A friend asked me to make this cake for her friend's wedding shower. Thank you Stacy for having me make your cakes!

This is based on Ms. Ross's retirement cake. I used sage buttercream with brown and yellow accents. The flowers and leaves are gumpaste. I challenged myself by painting the leaves and flowers for texture.

2-n-1 cake

2010-06-27T18:51:00.002-05:00

This cake was for a girl and a boy. I make their birthday cake last year (my first topsy-turvy cake) and they called again!

The girl wanted a purple princess hat...

The boy wanted a red and black wizard hat...

And the mom wanted one 3D cake...

It was so fun making this cake. I used a sugar cone for the very top of the cake. I put sugar dragees on the princess side and edible glitter on the wizard side.

Friend's Birthday

2010-06-23T22:46:00.009-05:00

Friend's Birthday - This sweet little girl likes butterflies and strawberries. So I made a round French Vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream icing (first time I used strawberry flavoring) and it had a strawberry filling. The icing is slightly pink with purple butterflies. I wrote Happy Birthday on the top and since she was turning 5 I put 5 butterflies on the top.

The 3Day Camp

2010-01-25T15:20:00.002-06:00

The captains of the DFW Breast Cancer 3Day got together for a Christmas party, so of course I made a cake. Ambulance for the medical team, motorcycle for route safety, van for sweep, traffic cones for traffic, flags for check-in, tents for gear and tent, person with cup for hydration and food, semi-truck for 3Day staff.

Zebra Cake

2010-01-25T15:15:00.003-06:00

I was very excited how this cake turned out. This was ordered from someone referred to me. She gave me the colors and asked for zebra print. I thought the shapes would be fun for the top cake.

Santa Cake

2010-01-10T20:45:00.003-06:00

I made this cake as a gift for the office personnel at the school. I got the pan on sale after Christmas last year so I was excited to use it.

Hope's 8th Birthday

2010-01-10T20:38:00.002-06:00

I guess I have made too much cake lately. (If that is possible.) Hope wanted brownie cupcakes. We did stars because she had a Hollywood themed party.

Birthday

2010-01-10T20:26:00.002-06:00

This cake was a re-creation of a cake online. I was also my first zebra cake. I love all the colors.

Halloween

2010-01-10T20:19:00.004-06:00

I had alot of fun doing these cakes. One was for a tailgate party and one was for a Halloween party.

1st Birthday Cake

2010-01-10T20:11:00.002-06:00

I matched this cake to the invitation. It was made for Mrs. Bradshaw's granddaughter in Austin. One side was carrot and the other was French vanilla.

Topsy-Turvy

2010-01-10T20:03:00.001-06:00

Adult Birthday Cake

2009-08-17T11:07:00.005-05:00

Chocolate cake with chocolate coffee filling and chocolate coffee icing decorated with chocolate covered coffee beans!!!! The friend I made it for LOVES coffee and chocolate anything. (Or was that obvious.) :D It was kind of hard to make since I don't drink coffee, but everyone loved it.

Ms. Ross's Retirement

2009-08-17T10:48:00.007-05:00

I made this cake for Loretta Ross's retirement as CES principal after 14 years. The invitations had turquoise daisies with brown and lime accents. The flowers were made out of gumpaste. I layered the daisies to give depth to them. I free-handed the scrolls on the sides. The cakes were chocolate, french vanilla, and carrot with buttercream icing.

Baby Shower

2009-08-17T10:40:00.005-05:00

This cake was made for a friend's friend who was having twin girls. The idea came from the Pink Cake Box lady from the Food Network. I modeled the pregnant lady out of gumpaste. I was very nervous at first, but I was pleased with how it turned out. The cake was chocolate and french vanilla with buttercream icing. The letters, dots, and flowers were fondant and gumpaste.

Softball!!

2009-06-26T18:08:00.005-05:00

Another end of the season softball cake. My friend has me come up with a different cake each season for her daughter's softball team. This season the team was the City Champ for their level. The cakes are french vanilla and chocolate with buttercream icing. The bat's texture was made using gel coloring and a toothpick. I craved the glove using my hand as a guide. Then I made a hole for the ball cupcake.

Nemo and the Beach

2009-06-26T16:54:00.003-05:00

This cake was made out of buttercream icing, teddy grahams, lifesavers gummies, pretzels, and fruit rollups. And yes you see a can of store brought icing. However, that was bought before I starting making my own chocolate buttercream. (Which is SOOO much better than the store bought)

For this cake, I used a 9x13 pan and carved Nemo. I used the cover of the movie as a template for the decorations.

Lady Bug Cake

2009-05-26T09:08:00.003-05:00

Again, this cake was for a friend of a friend. (I love word of mouth.) The mom asked for a cake covered with lady bugs because her daughter loves bugs. It is made out of a layer of French Vanilla and a layer of chocolate and buttercream icing.

Topsy-Turvy Cake

2009-05-26T08:59:00.003-05:00

This was my first topsy-turvy cake. It was made for a set of twins birthday (boy and girl). The purple cake was chocolate with peanut butter filling and the orange cake was strawberry with strawberry filling. The decorations were make out of fondant.

Teddy Bear Cakes

2009-05-26T08:49:00.003-05:00

These cakes were for a friend of a friend. The red and white teddy bear matched the invitations and was French Vanilla. The blue and white teddy bear was chocolate. I made one a fuzzy bear and one a smooth bear.

Bank Cake

2009-05-26T08:41:00.003-05:00

This cake was for the students that worked the bank at the school this year. It is suppose to be a bag of coins. It may not have turned out like I wanted, but the kids loved it.

Hannah Montana Party

2009-05-03T15:21:00.004-05:00

Again I used buttercream. For the guitar strings and mic cord I used gum paste. The mic was made out of an 6"x8" cake pan and a small glass measuring bowl.

Another Girl's Rule Cake

2009-05-03T15:11:00.005-05:00

This time I used gum paste for all of the decorations. It was much easier to use. I also like the pink and purple buttercream for the bases. I did not put the "Girl's Rule" on the cake because it had to be transported.

Filled Cakes

2009-05-03T15:07:00.004-05:00

I made these cakes to test out filling flavors. They are both vanilla cake. The top one is pineapple and coconut with a little white chocolate. The bottom one is cherry pie filling covered with melted milk chocolate.

My mom's and my cake

2009-05-03T14:58:00.002-05:00

Memaid cakes

2009-05-03T14:39:00.008-05:00

This is my first mermaid cake. This little girl's favorite colors were pink and purple. I also made the chocolate shells. The rest is buttercream icing.

This is my second mermaid cake (just 2 days after the first). This little girl liked very bright colors.

Another Friend's Daughter's Cake

2009-05-03T14:33:00.002-05:00

This cake is made with buttercream icing and royal icing flowers. I used a 9"x13" cake pan and then cut out the "4".

Mother's and Son's Birthdays

2009-02-22T22:23:00.007-06:00

The three tiered cake with red bows is made up of NINE layers. It should feed about 125 people. It is made with buttercream frosting. The bows, the number 40, and the dots are gumpaste and the flowers are royal icing and it has black ribbon around it.

The Texas Longhorn cake is made from 4 batches of rice crispie treats and buttercream icing. The son's room is decorate with the Longhorns. The number 16 and dots are made with gumpaste. This was the easiest cake I have made in a long time.

3Day EXPO Bake Sale

2008-12-13T21:37:00.005-06:00

These are cakes I made for a bake sale to raise money for the Breast Cancer 3Day.The theme was War on Cancer. So I did a pink camo ribbon cake.

We raised $70 just on these cakes!

Maddie's 7th party

2008-12-13T21:30:00.006-06:00

Frog and Dog Cakes

2008-08-01T22:15:00.005-05:00

I made these cakes for a friend's niece's birthday. The niece is having a Littlest Pet Shop birthday. I used the Pampered Chef glass mixing bowl for the cake. To make the frog legs, I used fondant covered marshmellows. The eyes and lips are made from fondant.

I used fondate for the eyes, nose, and tongue. For the ears, I covered the fondant with the icing. I dyed spaghetti black for the whiskers. And the paws are from the left over cake when I leveled the bottom of the cake.

Brian's smoker 2008

2008-07-27T22:38:00.005-05:00

My friend, that I met doing the Breast Cancer 3 Day, built his own smoker with a rotisserie and 13 thermometors. He has an annual BBQ at his house, so this year I came up with this cake. It is made with 4 - 8" cakes plus a couple of cupcakes trimmed down. Then I used fondant to make the glove, rag, handles, rack, and steaks.

School bank 2008

2008-07-27T22:28:00.004-05:00

My daughter's school has an agreement with WaMu to set up savings accounts for all the students that want one. The fifth graders run the bank on Fridays during school. I help the mom in charge. We decided to have a party at the end of the year. So I took a picture of the bank at school and tried to duplicate it.

Decorating Class 2008

2008-07-27T22:24:00.003-05:00

I was taking this class while my daughter was at school, so most of the cakes went to the teachers. When we had to do a character cake, I chose do to a teacher holding a ruler in our school colors.

This clown cake was fun to do. I really like the one eating his way out of the cake. We also practiced the edging.

Here we practiced making rosebuds, roses, and drop flowers with leaves. the texture on the cake was made with a paper towel.

Softball party 2008

2008-07-27T22:21:00.004-05:00

My daughter's best friend is on a softball team. Her parents are the coaches and asked me to make the cakes for the end of the season. Since one cake was not enough to feed everyone, I made ball cupcakes for each girl on the team. Their names and numbers are on the balls.

Daisy's birthday cake 2008

2008-07-27T17:41:00.006-05:00

2008-07-27T17:37:00.003-05:00

Dorina is a friend from gymnastics. Her mom knew I decorate cakes and asked if I could make this one (from the Wilton Yearbook). I was very excited, but nervous because I had not done much with fondant before. There are a few things that did not turn out as well as I wanted them too, but the girls all loved it. And it was pretty easy.

Easter 2008

2008-07-27T17:28:00.005-05:00

I saw a easter basket cake at my favorite cake shop, You Take The Cake. So I decided I had to try to make one. I had a little problem with the fondant again, but I like it. The handle is fondant covered sugar cookie.
