Ladybug Cake

Cali's Purple Owl

It's all about layering.  Easy as... cake.

Angry Monkey

 My daughter "ordered" this cake.  She was very specific about how she wanted it done.  Fondant monkey face on top, sprinkles around the outside.  She pulled out a swim suit that had little monkies all over it and pointed out on it... "I want this face." 
"You want an angry monkey on your cake?"
"Yes."
What do you do?
And since it was her birthday, I let her and her best friend do the sprinkles by themselves.

Bieber Fever

Did I show you my Justin Bieber cake yet? No? You don't want to miss this!I thought I was somehow getting away with FIVE girls and not a single Beiber fan... alas, the oldest caught the bug. I let her try her hand on her own cake with the paisleys, and I think she did a great job. I didn't get a good pirture of it, but we added "Baby, baby, baby Oh" around the sides of the cake. She loved it. That's all that matters. I must add, it was hilarious watching the girls fight over the cake. We had "I want his hair", "I want his eye", "I want his lips", and we had "Do NOT give me a piece that has anything to do with him!" Girls, we are a fickle breed :).

Oreo cookie

I actually have a different idea for this Oreo cake... one that involves a slab of ice cream as the middle layer. Of course it would have to be assembled by the person who orders it because if I assemble it and put it in the freezer, the fondant will freeze rock hard. :) And I mean rock hard, don't drop it on any toes.
So this cake was made with an 8 inch round pan cut in half for the cookie, and a 6 inch round pan for the center. I debated on whether to brace it or not. (bracing is using cardboard cake rounds and wooden dowels to keep the cake from sinking on under it's own stacked up weight, the dowels actually hold the weight under the cardboard. Need a better description? I sure would. Look here, it even has pictures). I wondered, where it wasn't the usual looking layered cake, and was acting more as a whole cake, if the cardboard would ruin the effect of having it be a whole cookie, so I opted to not brace it, allowing the cake to be cut as a whole. The outcome? Slightly tilted, but it held just fine.

1st birthday cake with smash cake

For my sweet great niece. The cupcake comes off the top for her smash cake. A princess cake for a sweet little princess.

Intoducing my first wedding cake

Oh how I stressed and worried over this cake. Frankly, I'm no professional, and my cakes are definitely homemade. I worry about every single one that heads out to people who ask for them for one reason or another. But a WEDDING cake...

Cherry drip cake

All I can say about this cake is that I LOVE it. I would love to have the opportunity to make a layerd cake out of this. I think it would look amazing.

Lime green slugbug

Slugbug, what color?
The request was very specific. Lime green slugbug with a "Hawaiian flower" on the hood.But I had to be a little creative with it so I made the inside tie-dye.

Superman Cake

Birdie's dancing

"Birdie" is turning five and wants a ballet cake. I went over and over how to do this cake in my head for weeks. Finally, after doing the mega cupcakes with non edible accents I started stretching my ideas. I was kind of opposed to using non edible accents on cakes because that seemed to defeat the purpose, but then I thought "why?" I'm still making the cake, the filling, the fondant. I'm still decorating it from head and abilities. And frankly, using tulle on a cake tutu was going to turn out much better than using fondant. So...
Here's a picture of my chocolate chip cookie cake with caramel filling before I covered it with fondant. It gets ordered with every cake I make, a fast favorite, everyone wants it. I don't blame them, it's amazing :).

Intoducing... Mega Cupcakes

I put these together for a fundraiser auction for Girl's Camp. I had so much fun doing these, and they were a big hit too, which made me feel good :). I made a cupcake in each value's color.
