Sage Cornelli Lace with Fresh Flowers

I made this cake for a reception last Saturday. The colors for the wedding were Sage and Eggplant. Thinking that it might be a bit difficult to make Eggplant look classy on a wedding cake, we opted for a Sage one with Cream Cornelli Lace and fresh flowers to bring in the Eggplant color. This is the first one of my cakes that has had fresh flowers on it and I don't think it will be the last. I love them! This is a spice cake with vanilla buttercream and covered in fondant with buttercream details. 10" and 6" tiers.

Pink Cornelli Lace and Roses

This is my latest cake. It was for a display for our stake talent show. These are the first buttercream roses I've been able to make look good. I felt pretty proud about that! Maybe I've finally got the hang of it. This is a Swiss Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream icing and Chocolate fondant. Square 8" and 4.5".

Monster Jam!

I've never met a 3 year old who loved anything more than Avery loves Monster Trucks! He has been to Monster Jam and watches it on TV a lot so I thought I'd recreate it for him. Four little boys surrounding one of my cakes would normally make me very nervous, but not this one. They were driving the trucks all over it and I didn't realize a cake could have sound effects. The best compliment I can get on a kids birthday cake is when they are distracted from the party by the CAKE!

Black & White

I have wanted to do a black and white one for a while. There are so many options and I hope this isn't the last I get to play with. I layered the cake black and white also. White cake, then a layer of chocolate tinted black with icing color. So it ended up being 4 layers of cake on the bottom (alternating the black and white) then 3 on the top (also alternating colors) with white/vanilla buttercream between all of them. It was really cool when it was cut too. Bottom is 8"square and top is 4.5" square.

Happy Birthday Quincy Lyn!

This is my new favorite bow to make. I love how realistic it is. This cake was for my friends little girl's 1st birthday. I made the tiny one for her individual cake to destroy on camera. I love the colors on this cake. It's an 8 inch and 5 inch on the big cake and the little one is about 2.5 to 3 inches across.

Jack's 1st Birthday

This was for Jack's 1st birthday. I love these colors for little boys. It is all fondant with buttercream details.

ZZZZZZZZ!

I love making cakes that look like things!! This one was so simple and fun to make thanks to some ideas from Joe on how to make it all work and what the "in" trends in bedding are right now. It's nice to have a husband who knows everything about everything! I am now finished with all my classes and ready to start baking. If anyone needs a cake, let me know before you go to Wal-mart and get a generic one. These are so much better. Looks and taste! I'd love ideas for future cakes too. Let me know what you'd like to see. I'd love to try it.

A Sweet Cake for a Sweet Lady

This was for my Mother-in-law's Birthday. She decided that she wanted a spice cake with pecans and orange buttercream icing. It was mouthwateringly good!!!

Huggably Delicious!!

This was so much fun to do. It has chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream on the bottom tier, then coconut cake and vanilla buttercream on the top tier. How adorable!I am excited to do this one in different colors too. The bottom is an 8x8 and the top is 4x4.

Joe's Dirt Cake

Yes, it is suppose to look like dirt, gravel more specifically. The caution cones are all handmade with fondant. If you look at his rallyx pictures you'll see the inspiration.

Gift Box

This is another I did for class. It was really cute.

Mario Cake!

Sam decided he wanted a "Mario Wedding Cake" for his fourth birthday. I had a lot of fun with it despite doing my very best to convince him that he really wanted a Pirate Treasure Chest Cake. First of all, IT WAS HUGE!!! How many 4 year olds get a cake like this? And, more importantly, what is he going to want next year?! I really wish I could say I made mario on top, but I can't. Well, I guess I could, but I would be lying. A friend sculpted it out of fondant. I did however make the fondant and paint him.
I had a lot of fun with the details, and also a little help from Joe.


Now that's a lot of cake!!

Chocolate Lovers Dream Cake!

I have wanted to do this cake for some time now and I loved it! It is truely a chocolate lovers dream come true. Chocolate cake, chocolate buttercream, and a two toned chocolate fondant covering and roses. I would love to do it in white tones also. So if anyone needs a cake..let me know...I'm pretty cheap...well, not me, but my cakes!

Basket of Flowers

This cake I just did last night for my final for my class. I was very pleased with the final outcome. I love all the techniques I am learning. My next class starts next week and it is all about fondant and tiered cakes. Then, I just have one more: Fondant and Gum Paste. I will be a little sad that I am done but these next two classes are the ones I am really excited about.

Joe Dirt!

Here are just a couple of pictures of all the fun Joe is having with his cars. This is definately the prettier(yeah, he might not approve of pretty being in the description) of the two cars but the other is a turbo. It is like an awesome fair ride to ride along with him. He has made some good friends, started a few fires (okay, just one), won some trophies, and had so much fun with it.

This cake is from Sam's 2nd birthday. I actually did another similar one for a friend that had this ball in the corner and the rest was a soccer field with players and all. It was really cool. I love the 3-D cakes as you have probably noticed. I think it is so fun when a kid or adult gets excited about a cake. What's life about if you can't enjoy cake? Sam is planning out his own birthday cake this year, I am not quite sure how I feel about that yet. I'm sure it will be interesting.

More Cakes!!!

This is the cake I did for Sam's 1st birthday. It is the WRC Subaru Rally Car. You know that was my idea, right?! It turned out really cool.
