Lady Bug Cake




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




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




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




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


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





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



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


I made this cake because my mom and I have never had a Barbie cake before. The texture of the dress is made with a paper towel.

Memaid cakes













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

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

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

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.




This is a cupcake cake. I thought I would make a cake for the kids that were there. A woman bought it for her daughter's preschool graduation.



We raised $70 just on these cakes!

Maddie's 7th party


She had a Hannah Montana party. MT are her initials.

We had to make two cakes so she wanted a microphone to go with the guitar. I put BLING on it with edible glitter.

Hope's 7th party

These cakes were for my daughter's kindergarten graduation party. The dark hair cake is chocolate, the red hair cake is strawberry, and the blonde hair is vanilla.








Jessica's Birthday

These cakes were a surprise for my cousin's birthday. She knew I was making the cake, but did not know what they were. She is big into purses and loves the green and blue colors.

Frog and Dog Cakes

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

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.
