The cake topper

I realized you couldn't really see the topper on the cake, so I added a closer view.

Maria's Wedding Cake

I like this wedding cake :) All tiers of the cake are white wedding cake with a custard and strawberry filling. The frosting is buttercream and the ribbon is made of fondant. The flowers are real orchids, and the coolest part is the cake topper which I made. They were looking for a bicycle built for two theme, so I painted a bride and groom with food coloring on a gumpaste plaque I made. The scallops and her dress are in relief. I think it all came out great.

Robot Groom's cake

This is a groom's cake I made for a wedding today (wedding cake above). This is my first standing cake ever, and the height of this cake was about 16". The legs are made of fondant covered rice krispy treats and so are the arms. The head and body are chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I really wish I had an airbrush for this cake because the silver didn't paint on very nicely. This cake is cute, but definitely not one of my best (but I did try my best). The cake was based off of a picture of a key-chain.

Amanda's Wedding Cake


This was my second wedding cake this weekend. It was white cake with raspberry filling on the top and bottom, and chocolate with raspberry filling in the middle. The cake is covered in fondant and the scrolls are hand painted. It came out very pretty.

Fire Helmet Wedding Cake




This is a cake I did this past weekend that was way way way more work that I had anticpated. I had about 15 hours into this cake to make it look as close to the helmet as I could. Lots of little details that don't really show up in the pictures.

Cool Wedding Cake

This is a picture of a wedding cake that I did this past weekend. The bride choose an awesome design, and it was one of my more challenging wedding cakes - but fun. The cake is a red velvet with buttercream frosting. I love this cake!

Here is a copy of the letter I received from the bride after the wedding:

Thank you so much for that amazing cake!!! Sorry I didn't get to see you, but I have to tell you that it killed me to cut into that cake it was beyond beautiful! The DJ, dino. bbq and my photographer all said they have done a million weddings and they have never see such a cool cake so needless to say I had to give you e mail to lots of people hope you don't mind. Also I have about three girlfriends that are getting married in the next three years and they all want you! and it was delicious! Thank you again Danielle you are truly talented!!!
