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.
