I made this cake for a client of mine to take to the expos that she is doing this summer. She has added my cakes to her party packages, and wanted to have a dummy cake to show her potential clients. She text me before the first expo even started and said that she had broken the crown. )0: She was able to fix it for the show (it wasn't perfect, but it was good enough). At her second expo, one of her employees bumped into the crown and it broke into pieces. Ahhh... the joys of gumpaste. It doesn't matter how many times you emphasize how fragile it is... It is bound to get broken sooner or later if you don't treat it like a baby... Gotta love it! Needless to say, I am now in the process of figuring out how to remove the old crown, and reattach a new one without having to redo the whole top of the cake. Yikes!!! (0:
As a little girl, I always loved pretending that I was a princess in a beautiful castle. When requested to make a castle cake for a young girl turning 6, I was elated! Pinks, purples, sparkles, everything girlie, and of course, "everything chocolate" was the request... Such a fun cake to make for such a darling little girl!
This was a, "Just for fun" cake! I had a ton of left over batter due to a cake tasting. So, I decided to make a cake! I was just playing around with the ribbons and the brooch. (0:
I made these cake pops for a wedding shower. (0:
This is a wedding cake that I made last week. The bride requested brown satin ribbon (which was a pain to find in 2.5 inch). The bottom layer was french vanilla, with traditional buttercream filling. The top two layers were dark chocolate cake with raspberry mousse filling. Simple, yet elegant design. On a side note, I had ordered a cake stand to display this cake on, and it arrived the day before the wedding (late), and broken into a million pieces. Ugh!!! The horror! The original design was meant for the bow to be in the center of the bottom layer, and hang off over the edge of the cake stand. On a second side note... the company sent me a new stand. It arrived yesterday, and it was the WRONG stand, and the stand I want is now out of stock!!! Double UGH!!!
This is a french vanilla cake with my standard buttercream. Covered in fondant, and gumpaste designs. Super fun cake to make, and an even cuter party theme! If you love candy, I highly suggest having a "Sweet Shoppe" theme.
This cake was made for an avid Bronco's fan. Logo was hand-carved out of gumpaste.
This is a belly cake that I made for a client's baby shower.
I made this cake for a client's nephew. Lightning McQueen and the McQueen logo are hand-carved out of gumpaste. The cake is handpainted.

This is a belly cake that I made for a client that is having a baby girl. She is extra outgoing, and has a super fun personality, so I added a little extra bling to the belly! (0: I hand painted the dress to give it a little more depth.
This is a Halloween cake that I made for a 2010 Halloween party. I always forget just how heavy the cakes are when they are finished. This big boy weighed in between 100 - 150 pounds (maybe more)! Super fun to make, and a really fun costume party! (0:
This is a cake that was made for an anniversary gift. The husband asked me to replicate their original wedding cake without his wife knowing. I went to their house one evening and she showed me some pictures of their wedding, and of their cake. She talked about how badly she disliked her original cake. I must admit, it wasn't super fantastic. It was buttercream instead of fondant (not that there is anything wrong with buttercream, she just wanted fondant), and she wanted deep red roses with a few rose petals randomly placed on the cake. Instead, there were tons, and I mean tons, of differently colored roses and rose petals that had just been dumped over the top of the cake. I started to worry that my job was going to be to replicate this cake that she did not like. I told her husband that I would really like to make the cake that she originally wanted, and he agreed. It was so fun to take it to her and see the surprise on her face. She said it was exactly how she wanted her wedding cake to be. It was nice to be able to make her so happy! (0:
My husband lost "food bet" at work. Generally, they just bet each other a sandwich, or a drink or something, but he came home and asked me to make this cake because his friend at work wanted one. My husband is now betting away my time at work... Nice!!! Anyways, it ended up to be a good learning experience. New fondant, and first time hand carving a figure. It is good to be able to experiment when you aren't making a cake for a client! (0:
Dark chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream covered in marshmallow fondant.
This was a cake made for baby shower. Originally, I was supposed to make a belly cake, however, the mom-to-be had the baby several weeks early... Needless to say, no belly cake was needed. (0:

This cake was a last minute order. Made for a few of the corrections officers at the local prison. Chocolate cake covered and filled with buttercream. Dots are marshmallow fondant. Retro/modern design.
