Elf Cake

The Elf cake was taken from an awesome idea found on a fellow decorators website to be used as a 50th birthday cake.  The Elves were a blast to make and actually quite simple!  I will definitely be making this one again soon.

This cake was for an engagement party with a Paris theme.  In this case, the Eiffel Tower was constructed completely of sugar and edible which was a very interesting task!  The cake is red with small ruffles and a fondant plaque celebrating the wonderful couple.

Snowmen Treats

These snowmen were put on some fun Christmas cookie plates however with its durable white chocolate shell, it is great for simple kitchen decorations (not to be eatten after display of course).  Although they do take some time to assemble these adorable little snowmen are so much fun and a great way to get children in the kitchen during the holidays!

FIFA World Cup Soccer Cake


These cakes were made for my little brother's birthday which happened to fall when the FIFA World Cup was going on in Africa.  Michael and his friends were very into the games and it seemed fitting to create these cakes for his birthday and the USA vs. Guana match.  It was a blast to create and tasted delicious; I will definately be doing another cake set like this soon.

Zebra Print Cake



This cake was made for my friend's 21st birthday who loves zebra print. The cake was marble and I had to use store bought icing but it still turned out pretty good! The girls loved it and we had fun eating the zebra, inside and out.

Black and White Scroll Cake




I designed this cake for my Mother's surprise 50th birthday party. The drawing is of what the intend cake was to look like, but after getting everything ready for the party and traveling to our house, I ended up running very short on time and patience and finally gave into the fact that the drawing was unrealistic for the event's time. So the cake in the picture is what was actually presented at the party along with heavy hor'dours and mini red velvet, chocolate, and french vanilla cake bites. The party was a blast and the cake ended up fine, however I still hope to make the cake designed in the drawing one day!

Twilight Cake



This cake was originally a trial topsy turvey cake. However, after making the cakes only the top two tiers are topsy turvey. The cake is themed Twilight for the New Moon Premiere on Friday, November 20th, 2009 with homemade marble fondant, buttercream, and devil's food.

Cupcake..Cake


This giant cupcake was made for a friend's birthday. The cake is homemade red velvet and the classic cream cheese icing. Since the icing was homemade as well, there was a problem during the decorating process with the thickness of the icing causing it to drip. This was definately a learning process and with more time the icing issue could easily have been fixed. I really liked the giant cupcake idea overall and it's perfect for any age birthday!

Checkerboard Cake

This cake was made special for my roommates to celebrate their birthdays! The top tier is funfetti cake, the middle was yellow cake, and the bottom tier was devil's food cake. I actually used store bought icing for this cake and suprisingly it turned out pretty smooth over all. The girls loved the cake and it was eaten in probably about an hour's time.

Daisy Cake


This cake was the final cake for our Wilton fondant and gum paste class. Although this cake took quite a bit of time to decorate, I love the way it turned out. I really enjoy the way brown and blue compliment each other and it actually turned out really well on a cake. The daisies on the cake add a little splash of character to already bold cake. This cake is also my first complete fondant cake.

Music Cake


Made for Wilton Course 1 class, the final cake was our choice of decor and theme. Music is a big part of my life and I decided to make something simple but fun. I really enjoyed making the black and white parts because I felt like it gave sort of a "tuxedo" style to the cake and made it a little classier. I think this is one of the more enjoyable cakes I've made thus far in terms of decorating.

Clown Cupcakes


These cupcakes were made during the week three of our Wilton Course 1 class. The little alligator was my favorite of all. The variety of different designs was not part of the class, but we decided to change things up some during class.

Jeep Wrangler Cake


This jeep cake was by far my favorite cake. It was a four layer cake raised up to match the size of the wheels. The cake is a replica of my brother's jeep down to the last vent. Since it was his birthday, the number 18 was placed on the liscense plate.
