Polar Bear Wedding cake


This cake is chocolate cake and white cake covered in vanilla buttercream. I made the flowers out of gumpaste, and sculpted the polar bears out of a fondant/gumpaste mix. They were hard to make! Overall I think this cake came out cute.

Fish catching a golf ball



This cake was also a challenge, but I like how it came out. It is chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream on the bottom, and the fish is made out of white cake. Thanks to my husband for building me a stand to support the hieght of this fish! The fish is covered in fondant and hand painted.

JetBlue airplane cake

This was an engagement cake for a couple who met on a jetBlue airplane. It was a fun cake, but a challange as well. Everything is edible...

Addison turned 4 and wanted a Minnie Mouse cake... this is my version, hand painted Minnie, with buttercream accents.

school bus cookies

These cookies were for a woman who is retiring after 33 years of work with the school transportation department. All the details are hand painted on. Before I painted them, my daughter asked why I had melted American cheese all over the cookies... it did look like that, but it is glaze :)

Mom's birthday cake


I made this cake for my mom... I was testing out recipes and a few things. I made the sugar flowers, and the cake is white almond sour cream cake... yum...

Becky's baby shower

This was a fun set of cakes to do. The design is based off of the baby shower invites. The background is a 22" circular cake board covered in chocolate fondant, and the cakes are all covered in fondant as well. The flavors of the four cakes are : white cake with vanilla buttercream, chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream, lemon cake with raspberry filling and lemon buttercream, and chocolate cake with peanutbutter buttercream...

Baby shower cake


This cake was made for a baby shower and the idea was based off of the invites. I like the yarn look around the edges - kind of like a cozy baby blanket...

This cake was for a man (Ed) who just graduated from the police academy. The gun and handcuffs are formed out of fondant, and as close to real looking as I could get. Fun cake :)

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake

White cake with vanilla frosting. The hand, Mickey head, and foot are made with rice krispy treats and covered in fondant. As easy as it looks, this cake was kind of hard to make!

LV Purse

This purse cake came out great :) It was modeled after a LV purse, but the bride changed the initials to hers and her fiance's. The cake was white cake with vanilla buttercream and strawberry filling. The cake was covered in fondant and hand painted. I learned not to do a 3-D cake with a filling - hope the cake wasn't too much of a mess inside!

Cookies to match Purse Cake/theme

These are handpainted cookies to go along with the purse cake. TB is the bride's take on LV... Cute idea. I still don't know what I think of these cookies... I decorated them from midnight to 3:30 a.m.

Polar bear shower cake

For reasons that are my own fault, I came up with this cake very last minute... It was vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, and a painted fondant top. It came out a bit young looking for a shower cake, but cute nonetheless :)

This is a wedding cake I did this past weekend. It was not an original design (the bride had a picture for me).

The bride and groom are made out of fondant, and the whole cake is edible except the fishing line :)

The whole cake is white cake with vanilla buttercream. This was a very fun wedding cake to do!

Umbrella shower cake/ cookies

These are shower favor cookies to go with the cake. The cake is half white, and half chocolate, and covered in buttercream. The cake didn't photograph well for some reason, but it was cute.

Tinkerbell Cake

This is a tinkerbell birthday cake. It is a lemon cake with lemon buttercream, and a fondant top - which I handpainted Tinkerbell on. I was proud of myself for this one because one little mess up, and tinkerbell doesn't look like tinkerbell anymore...

Stack of Books Cake

Two books in this cake are chocolate, and one is white, covered in fondant, and hand painted. The coffee cup is made out of cake, covered in fondant, and hand painted. This was a challenge, but I like how it came out.

fish cake

Christian Louboutin shoe cake

This cake was made for a friend's birthday. It is my first shoe, and it was a bit tricky! But it was worth it in the end. The shoe had a 5 inch heel - how do people walk!!! The cake was white cake with vanilla butter cream, covered in fondant and painted on. I made the shoe out of gum paste.
