Ladybugs and a Bridal Shower

Ladybugs for a little girl who turned one year old!  The little bug was for the little girl to smash up!  The aunt who ordered the cakes said they didn't want a lot of fondant, so that the texture wouldn't confuse her.  So I did buttercream in red, then covered with the fondant faces and spots.  I'm sure the little birthday girl was covered in red! 

I was given two days to do this bridal shower cake.  I love square cakes, and pink and white.  The bride-to-be and the mother loved it.  They were 5" and 8" squares.  I won't say it's easy to cover squares in fondant, but I absolutely love the look! 

Both of these orders were a white cake with raspberry filling, covered in vanilla buttercream!  Yum!

WWE, Black Forest and a Tool Belt

This is one of my dessert cakes, the Black Forest. It is yummy! The filling is dark cherries with Kirshwasser. The frosting is a Golden Butter frosting. The cake is my moist, chocolate cake.

This cake was for a general contractor. It needed to be small. I molded dark chocolate in the shapes of the tools, then painted them with luster dust and vanilla. The 'belt' was made out of marshmallow fondant with little gold dragees. It is hard to see, but on the side of the cake were little 'wood' boards. The cake was a chocolate Kahlua cake with mocha frosting. YUM!

This was a fun one to do! Edgewater High Schools band director and his kids love the WWE. With two birthdays in one week, they had thier friend throw a fantastic birthday event at Chuck E. Cheese. Their were cloth party bags with the WWE logo filled with goodies. They had the black and red WWE balloons on every chair. With 30-40 kids, it was a party!

When I delivered the cake, the event planner, Tara, placed the referee in the ring and had several figures of the different wrestlers all around the cake. It all came together so well! The cake was again the amazing and moist chocolate cake with a very simple butter and chocolate filling. They loved it!

Ice cream cupcake

A fresh, easy idea for summer. Buttercream scooped with an ice cream scoop and put on a cupcake. Brown royal icing 'chocolate' drizzled on top with a fondant cherry. Yum!

Three Graduates and One Cake!

Three different graduates, three different colleges that they will attend and two different sports they were involved in! All that adds up to this cake! I haven't done that many human figures, so it was quite a learning experience for me. Next time I will definitely do them 1-2 weeks ahead of time. I was very happy to do the hair! I loved putting the ponytail on the little girl in the boat!

The mother of the coxswain was the one who ordered this cake. She was very excited to see the finished product. I think all the graduation cakes are done now, so now I am moving on to figure out how to make a sugar bottle of Red Stripe beer for a birthday coming up, should be interesting!

Fun One!

I was asked to do a cake for and 18th birthday. The birthday girl loves socks and cell phones and I was asked what I could do to incorporate them together. This is what I came up with. I would not use the shimmer silver luster dust next time on the blackberry, it made it too shiny. I'm really starting to enjoy mmf!

Dozens of Easter Cookies

Easter! Bright colors and cute bunnies! I tried a different process with icing cookies. I cut fondant with the cookie cutter and covered, attaching with royal icing. It made it quite easy to decorate with the r.i. in different colors and tips. The box you see is filled with three dozen of the 7 dozen that I made. What fun!
