Club Penguin Birthday Cake

I made this for Stavros who turned 10 today.  He was having a Club Penguin theme.  I made the igloo, boat and light house all out of rice krispy treats and covered them in fondant.  The penguins, puffles, trees, rocks, tubes, fish and surf boards are all made of fondant.  This was a really fun cake to detail.

Dewar's Birthday Cake

I made this cake for Bill who turned 60.  I made 6" cakes and layered them with cookies n cream buttercream and carved it into the bottle shape on top.  I crumb coated it and covered with fondant and airbrushed it.  I cut the letters out with my Cricut cake and painted them gold.

Gerbera Daisy Wedding Cake!



I had the pleasure of making a wedding cake for today for a woman I go to church with.  I also made her 75 wedding cake shaped cookies for favors.

The bottom and top tiers are 4 layers of chocolate cake with 2 layers of chocolate raspberry truffle filling and a middle layer of vanilla buttercream.  The middle 2 tiers are vanilla 4 layers of vanilla cake and 3 layers of vanilla buttercream.  They're covered with fondant and I made the black detail using fondant cut with my cricut cake.  I decorated it with handmade gum paste gerbera daisies airbrushed pink.

My cookies were decorated with pink details, gum paste flowers with sugar pearl centers and a monogram made out of sugarveil cut in my cricut.

"Hooked" Bridal Shower Cake


This cake was made for my son Max's teacher, who we LOVE, so it was extra special! I made a 3 tier cake- bottom layer was chocolate with chocolate raspberry truffle filling and a layer of vanilla buttercream, middle vanilla cake with vanilla pudding and vanilla buttercream and top layer strawberry cake with strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream. I covered it with fondant and piped on the quilted pattern with royal icing. The topper was called "Gone Fishing" and was chosen because of the grooms love of fishing. Where each line meets I put a white sugar pearl. I hope she liked it!
