*Pokemon and Pokeballs*




This cake and cupcakes were made for a little girl and her little brother who had birthdays around the same time. Ironically enough they both love Pokemon! So, their mom had it made easy!! The cake was a cherry chip cake with vanilla cream filling. The cupcakes were pumpkin cake with Cream Cheese Icing. This cake was very fun to make!

Browning Cake




I made this cake clear back in April. Sad, but I'm just now getting around to putting up pictures of it! Obviously the man who this cake was for was excited about guns! The picture on the cake is the Browning Logo. ( which I found out was a gun brand) :) The cake has camo over the entire cake. The cake it self was yellow with chocolate cream filling.

Square Topsy Turvy

This cake was so much fun. I love cakes that have lots of character. This was for my cousin's birthday. She along with her mom, brothers and our other cousin came to help make the cake. It was fun to have lots of people with me in the kitchen for 6 hours! This was a square topsy turvy. The fondant was brown, blue and green. We did a diamond pattern and zebra stripes. We also put fondant daisies and fondant lettering on! It was so cute! The flavors were vanilla cake with banana cream filling.

Monkey Cake

This monkey cake was fun and simple. I love doing cakes that are made for a formed pan. It tells you how to do everything right there in the instructions! It's great! This cake wasn't anything grand my son wanted a confetti cake and so he got it. Plus, I was super lazy and used store bought icing... ( don't tell ) :)

Race Car Cupcakes

These were the cutest little cupcakes and they were super easy and quick to make. I love cupcakes. I think they are just so cute and little! The road and grass were made of icing and the cars are fondant.

14th birthday




This cake was so much fun! I was kinda worried about it as we were making it but after I got it covered with fondant it was smooth sailing! I loved the colors too! Just all around a really fun cake!

It was a 2 tiered topsy turvy cake. The top tier was vanilla cake w/ banana cream filling and mm fondant. The bottom tier was chocolate cake w/ banana cream filling and mm fondant. Pink and yellow! So, fun! I was told when they served it the mom used dinner plates and the slice of cake filled the whole plate! LOL that's what happens when you do topsy turvy! Good thing it was so yummy!!

Zebra Cake





Here is a cake that I did for my cousin this last weekend. This cake was so much fun to see come alive. I was kind of worried when i first started it but it turned out so great!! The cake was chocolate with cherry filling and chocolate buttercream w/ vanilla fondant. Zebra stripes and a bow to top it off. The stripes were very fun to do and the lettering was lots of fun too, once I figured out how to work them!!

Number 8



This weekend I did a cake for my aunt, I ended up only having one day to make it. So, it didn't turn out quite as perfect as I would have liked. But I tried a new recipe that was AWESOME! Almost everything with this cake was new for me, so next time it will be better, I will learn from my mistakes!!

It was a topsy turvy cake. The top tier was Carrot cake( so yummy!) and the bottom was chocolate. I used cream cheese icing. And of course MM Fondant.

Kylie's Cake

This is my little cousin Kylie's 13th birthday cake. She wanted it to look similar to Heather's cake. I have to say this cake looks a thousand times better!! It's a topsy turvy cake. With Vanilla cake and Chocolate buttercream icing. And MM Fondant and decorations. It was fun and I am getting quicker at doing these cakes! So, that's nice that it doesn't take me 10 hours to make a little cake like this! Colors were Teal ( with Luster dust) and Brown!

I just couldn't decide on a couple pictures. Sorry, my son is in the background eating breakfast in some of the pics! :)

This cake is for my little boy who is turning 1! I can't believe it! I feel kind of bitter sweet about it. On one hand I'm so excited for him to walk and have fun this summer and grow a great relationship with his brother and on the other, I simply can't believe that he's one!! Anyways, here is his cake!! This was my 5th fondant cake! I can't believe it, it feels like I have been making them forever!! It is chocolate cake with vanilla Buttercream and MM Fondant. With a Baseball Theme! This was a lot of fun to make and it was fast!! I got the idea for it from Pink Cake Box! They have great cakes!f
I must acknowledge that my husband Kevin, made the bats. He is so great! They look awesome!!! Thank you honey!!!

Done!!!

So, I pretty much finished Carmen's cake this afternoon, but the elements didn't turn out the way I had hoped so, I bagged it and went a different direction!! Kevin came home from work this afternoon and helped me with the bow a lot! I really appreciate his help!! So, here is the first version of Carmen's cake! It wasn't totally done, I hadn't put a border on it yet.

Basically the decals on the first tier didn't look so hot. It's alot harder to get them to look good when you are putting them on the side of a cake verses on a board. Also, I think I need to try a different icing for this, my icing kept getting air bubbles and it would mess the design up! This is the finished product!!! I'm VERY happy with it!!!! I think it looks more like her too!!

Flower Cake


This cake I had to cut out and design myself. The cake was strawberry and it had buttercream icing. This cake was mostly made up of frosting stars. I loved how bright the colors were! This was for my niece's 9th birthday.

Lightening McQueen


I made this cake for my nephews 3rd birthday. I also did it for my sons 2nd birthday. It's a great design and it turns out so life-like! This was also a boxed cake mix and I used buttercream icing both times.

Spiderman



This cake was done for my sons 3rd birthday. He loves Spiderman and was so excited to have a Spiderman cake! This was when I was just doing cakes for my kids. So, I just used a boxed cake mix and I used buttercream icing.This took about 5 hours.
