M&Ms

I was asked to do a cake for someone for her anniversary. She requested that I put two M&Ms on top because everyone calls she and her husband M&M. The M&Ms are made from rice krispie treats molded and covered with colored fondant. 




80th Birthday

In July we celebrated my aunt's 80th birthday. Her birthday was actually in April but her greatgranddaughter was born a few weeks afterwards, so her daughter delayed the party until they could come down. My cousin had seen the 3-tiered 16th birthday cake I did for someone else and wanted to do that for my aunt on a larger scale.  We had three flavors of cake, bottom layer--strawberry; middle layer--key lime with cream cheese filling; and top layer--vanilla.  It was great!

 

Zebra Cake

It seems the zebra pattern has become VERY popular these days. I've had to do several cakes with this pattern. Here is a sheet cake I did.

Miss Piggy

I was asked to do this character cake for a friend at work's wife. She loved Mss Piggy as a child and he wanted her to have a birthday cake with her on it.

Cut-Out Cakes

I was asked to do a cake for someone's 50th birthday but she wanted the cakes to be a 5 and a 0.  This only the second time I've worked with cut-out cakes.  They are a little trouble icing because of the raw edges, but otherwise it turned out really nice.

Sports-Themed Double 16th Birthday

Two friends of mine had a boy and girl turning 16 and wanted to have a dual party.  They are both big in sports. Here are the pictures of their cakes.













How to Eat Fried Worms

I was asked to do a cake about the book "How to Eat Fried Worms". Here is the end result.  It was a very cute cake.

Cupcake Cake

Well this was a first for me.  I was asked to do 36 cupcakes but they wanted it to be in a princess theme.  I said...HMMM.  I started looking on the web for pics as some inspiration.  Let me say this was very fun to work with and I think it turned out pretty cute and best of all...NO CUTTING.  Just pull apart.

Mexican Anyone?--Sombrero Hat

I had a request to do a sombrero hat for someone's 30th birthday.  This was a lot of fun. The peppers are made of fondant. The cake is vanilla with chocolate icing.

Special 16th Birthday

This was a really fun cake for me.  A friend's daughter was turning 16 and she found this picture on the web and asked if I could replicate it.  Well here is my attempt.  She LOVED it.

Weddings

Here are a few pictures from some wedding I've done recently.  When I started this I said I was NOT going to do weddings.  It was just too much while trying to work also.  Well, I got talked into it.  Hope you enjoy.
