Sewing Cake!

This is a birthday cake that I did for a customers grandmother, who loves to sew.

Football Fever!!!

I got this cake order for my twin cousins 19th birthday. One liked Raiders, and the other liked the Broncos.

I used the exploding-effect on both of the cakes, 

using a football made of RKT and covered with fondant. 

The Raiders cake was a Vanilla Cake with Caramel Frosting. 

And the Broncos cake was a Vanilla cake with Vanilla Frosting. 

All of the accents and logos were hand-made out of fondant. 

Farewell...

It was a sad, sad day in my little town... I had to say good-bye to my boss. She and her Hubby were moving    hundreds of miles away, so we had a little Farewell Party at my work. 

 This was actually a simple cake.

I used the Nature Mold from wilton to make the flowers out of fondant. 

 All of the fondant accents were free-handed.

This was the Vanilla Cake with Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling. 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

I was able to do this TMNT cake for a little boys birthday party. 

It was done in a really short amount of time, because it got ordered the night before,

 so this is what I came up with....

All characters and decorations were made of fondant, and hand-crafted...

and the top of that cake was made to look like a sewer cover.

This cake was the popular Triple Chocolate cake.

Jungle Baby Shower - Boy!

I got to do this really fun Jungle-themed Baby Shower cake 

that was surprisingly really easy to do. 

All of the animals and decorations were made out of fondant, 

and the cake had a zebra and giraffe pattern on each tier. 

 The top tier was a Triple Chocate Cake, 

and the bottom tier was a 

Vanilla cake with a Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling. 

I made a giraffe cake topper to hold the Welcome Baby sign.  

I also hand-cut the leaves, and used the 

Nature Fondant and Gum Paste Mold from Wilton to make the flowers. 

Baby Bundle Shower Cake - Girl!

My cousin needed a baby shower cake, which was the 

Baby Bundle theme. 

I got my inspiration for the cake from the napkin....

And this is what I came up with.....

I found the letters at Michaels, and the decorations were all made of fondant. 

The cake was a Strawberry and White Swirl cake

 with strawberry Fosting and Filling. 

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

A customer wanted two christmas cakes for some Christmas Parties she was going to, 

which gave me a chance to try out different cake designs, 

as well as some fun fondant characters. 

 A snow-based cake with a Christmas tree, presents, a snowman, and a penguin, 

complete with a snow-ball border. 

And this one is a present-shaped cake with a candy-cane border. 

One cake was the Triple Chocolate cake with Oreo Buttercream filling, 

and the other was the Red Velvet cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. 

Dodger Pride!!!

I was asked to do a birthday cake for my daughter's teachers Hubby... 

(lets see if you can process that). 

Anyway, hes a dodger fan who was turning 32.....

This is the result....

The cake was Triple Chocolate cake, which is a chocolate cake with 

chocolate chips and chocolate frosting. 

It also had an Oreo Buttercream Filling. 

Mmmmm, my mouth is drooling just remembering it. 

The red decorations were drawn on with edible marker, 

and the blue decorations were made out of marshmellow fondant. 

Sesame Street... Again!!!

I did a sesame street birthday cake for my baby brother Brayden. 

It worked out great because I saved the decorations from Evalyns Birthday Party, 

and I got to do the cake that I didn't have a chance to do for her party. 

I also did cupcakes, which I'll post a picture of later.
The top tier was Red Velvet cake, and the bottom tier was Banana Cake. 
Both tiers had Cream Cheese Frosting. 

Tinkerbell!

My daughters 3rd birthday is in October, and her current obsession is Tinker Bell, 

so that's what her birthday party theme was. 

We had her party in our new backyard (since we finally just got our own house), 

and had her a bounce house. 

The bottom layer of her Tinkerbell Cake was Banana and the top layer was Red Velvet cake, 

both with Cream Cheese Butter-cream Frosting. 

All of the cake decorations were made out of fondant. 

I think this is my best one yet.... : )    

I used these pretty purple flower cupcakes liners with the cupcakes, 

and just frosted them with White Butter-cream Frosting. 

I used candy melts to design the butterfly and Initial decorations on top. 

(Picture soon to follow)...

Beautiful Goodbye's

I was asked to do a Farewell cake for one of my daughters teachers who was moving out of state. I decided to make her a Red Velvet cake with Cream Cheese Butter-cream Frosting, covered in white fondant with black, blue and purple accents. 

This one was easy and very simple. 

Let me know what you think!

Duck Tape Cake

I had a request for a duct tape cake, 

and I was at a complete loss. 

After researching and improvising, 

I came up with the cake below.

I used real duct tape to decorate the cake board and 

a silver edible spray to give the duck tape effect to the letters and top tier. 

 For the top tier, I cut out the cardboard center of the duct tape roll 

and put it inside the cake, 

so that it would look like an actual roll of duct tape. 

It came out better than I thought...

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for your time. 

Pink and Zebra.

I made a pink and zebra cake and cupcakes for my sister-in-law's

 birthday party a couple of weeks ago. 

The party was a blast, but it was outside, 

so my cupcakes kept melting... 

Lesson learned though,

 i'll just have to find a thicker frosting for next time...

This is another zebra cake I did shortly after.

Hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think!!!

Baby Shower Time!!!

Just want to welcome my brother's beautiful new baby Skyler!

Having a new baby is always such a precious and cherished time to enjoy.  

I made a two-tiered cake for the baby shower party, 

and threw in some cake pops to match. 

Made some with little baby footprints!! Sooo precious...

Dalmatian Cookies!!!

So, Saturday was my baby brother's 1st birthday party!! Time sure does fly, doesn't it. My mom chose to do a firetruck-themed party. 

So, to go along with the theme of the party, I decided to do dalmatian sugar cookies with white vanilla frosting. These were super easy to make and so fun to decorate.

(p.s. the date on the photos are wrong) 

The ears were made from Oreo cookies, cut in half. I used a mini marshmallow for the nose and black gel icing for the eyes, nose, and spots. And then I used red gel icing for the tongue. 

My mom had a family friend, Shandi, make his birthday cake, which came out just wonderful. I swear, she's gifted when it comes to baking. 

Like I said, very simple and really fun to make. 

Feel free to leave your comments on what you think!!!

Halloween

I had so much fun making this is the Halloween inspired cake that I made for Sammy, my 7 year old brother-in-law last year. Its a 2-tier chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I decorated it with candy pumpkins and plastic fall leaves. Trust me, it was frighteningly delicious!!! 

For the tombstones, I shaped a milk Hersheys chocolate bar and covered them in powdered sugar. Then I crumbled the rest of he chocolate and used it as the grave dirt. 

If I remember right, I purchased this cupcake holder from the dollar store, as well as the spiders. I made these super easy vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting and Halloween orange, black, and white sprinkles. 

My Lil' Ladybug Evalyn!

    So, last year for my daughters first birthday, I decided to do a ladybug theme and incorporated everything with black, red, and white colors. Most of her decorations were handmade, including her invitations. I've never hosted a party before, nor have done a big cake like the one she had. It was fun making them, but very time-consuming.  However, everyone ended up loving the party and we had so much fun!!! Which made all the hectic moments well worth it....

 This was my first time working with fondant. The cake was chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry with vanilla frosting. I made marshmallow fondant from a recipe I found online, and food dye to stain the red layer of fondant. The red ladybug on top was used as the smash cake. 

For the smash cake, I used a round oven-proof bowl for the body and used a cupcake for the head.  I also used the black pipe cleaners for the antennae. 

For the invitations, I used construction paper, googly eyes, and pipe cleaners. I also cut the ladybug wings in half so that they would open up, using a pin to hold it all together. The "Evalyn's 1st Birthday" was printed out on red construction paper  

 I decorated the frames with ladybugs stickers that I found at Walmart. 

 I bought these tags from Walmart to go around the cookie pops that I made. 

This was a cute idea that everyone adored. I acually attached the ribbon (red ribbon that I drew black dots on) to a larger ladybug made out of construction paper, which was also made with googly eyes and pipe cleaners. 

I got the idea for this banner from a website online. This was made out of construction paper and ribbon. I made the flower shapes using cups and bowls to trace. 

Here, you can see the cookie pops that I made, and the silverware wrapped in a white napkin, tied it with a black ribbon and red ribbon with white dots. I found the red tub at Target in the dollar section, and I drew on black dots.

This is Evalyn on the morning of her birthday!  I guess shes a morning person.... I have no idea where she gets that from. =D

 And that's the party! Hope you enjoyed what you've seen. Hopefully it was as fun for you as it was for me. Please come back for more soon!!! Don't be shy, and tell me what you think......
