Ice Cream Funday!


My daughter's teacher has a end-of-year birthday party for all of the children in her class.  She ordered cupcakes for the celebration.  I decided to make "ice cream sundae" cupcakes for the kids, and I love the way they turned out.  I decorated them with buttercream icing, chocolate ganache, sprinkles and a sour cherry candy on top. 

Flying Past Our Obstacles


This cake and cupcakes were ordered by the local High School Drill Team for their end-of-year banquet.  The colors in the cake matched the team's colors.  Their theme this year was "Flying Past Our Obstacles," and that is what they wanted on the cake.  There was a flying/cloud theme involved with the decorations, so the cupcakes were supposed to resemble sparkling clouds.

My Lovebug



My middle daughter, Kaia, is my little Lovebug.  For her 4th birthday recently, I decided to make her a lovebug cake.  The bug's head is covered in marshmallow fondant, and the body is covered in buttercream icing.  The dots are made from frosting sheets.  The cake suited my little sweetie perfectly, and she gave me the biggest smile when she saw it.

Over the Hill



This cake was for the 40th birthday of a teacher at my daughter's school.  The cake obviously represents going "over the hill."  The cake is decorated in buttercream icing.  I was told that the birthday girl loved her cake.

What a Star!




My client for this cake was a 13-year-old girl.  She was having a Hollywood Star/Casino Night themed party.  I created the cake to represent the Hollywood red carpet.  I also made cupcakes to represent the casino aspect of the party.  Both the cake and cupcakes were decorated with buttercream icing and fondant decorations.

A Couple of Cute Cupcakes

This cake was for a set of twins celebrating their first birthday.  The decorations for the party were pink and brown cupcakes, so I carried that over to the cake.  The client requested a neopolitan cake.  The strawberry, white and chocolate cake combination was a big hit!

Pretty in Hot Pink


My client for this cake was a 13-year-old girl. She was having a 1980's themed party. I decided on zebra print for the cake, which turned out to be something she loved. The bottom tier is completely covered in marshmallow fondant. The top tier is buttercream icing with fondant decorations. My client and her mother loved the cake! I had a great time making this one, and I love the final product!
