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!

Black and White Wedding


Black and White Wedding Cake. It fed 75 people. Carrot cake on 1st and 3rd tiers and vanilla cake with vanilla bc on 2nd tier. Found out when delivering the cake that the numbers for the reception had gone up to 120. Quite frustrated, because I knew that this would not feed all of them!

Lots of Cookies!


These cookies were for Lake Highland Prep. You can see on the logo the L,H and P. I was so happy to have the printer and proper ink this time.

The next cookies were for a Christening for my dear friends niece. It's hard to tell, but the base icing color was ivory, the dash was white and the pearls were pearly/ivory. They are 3 1/2" cookies, so they are quite large. They turned out very nice!


The breast cancer awareness ribbons were done for a private event for the Brighton store in the Altamonte Mall. They were showing their new pieces for breast cancer awareness, which were absolutely lovely, and raising $$ for Florida Hospital's Eden Spa. Eden Spa helps women going through breast cancer, by providing an understanding area where you can go and get fitted for wigs. They provide so many services and I am honored to work with them in raising monies!

Southern Living at Home Show


Two separate tables that were both for a wedding and for a bridal shower. We were amazed that the pink and green mini cakes and cookies matched so perfectly! The wedding cake had little purple flowers and yellow stamens, it's hard to see it in the picture. I thought it all turned out very pretty.



Sports Ball Cakes



This was for a friend's little boy. He turned one year old and has a love for all sizes of sports balls. I decided to put together tennis, basketball, soccer and baseballs. When we walked in with the board full of the cakes, the birthday boys' big brother tried grabbing one of the baseballs and myself and my husband both freaked! He didn't get to it!

Logo Cookies

I was asked to make cookies for a school fundraiser. I was excited for the opportunity, because I've been wanting to get a printer for logo work. I ordered the printer, the edible ink and was ready to go.

When I went to put in the cartridges, I noticed it was not the printer I ordered, it was an updated model. Hhhmmm, it was late and I had to figure out what to do now that I couldn't print the logos.

I came up with the idea for plaid cookies, because the name is Lake Highland, and they are known as highlanders. They did not turn out the way I wanted, but I will have an opportunity do some more for the school. And yes, I had to order new ink to fit the new printer, but all is well!


After getting the new ink, I had several more opportunities to use it. A friend of mine is in a BNI leads group, and it was National Nannie Recognition Week. I was asked to do cookies for both of these.

100 year old birthday party!



These were amazing! The yellow ones were white cake with lemon curd filling. The pink ones were italian cream cake with raspberry filling. Delicious! Everyone loved these!


My daughter decorated this carrot cake. It was for the man of the house, and he barely had any left to enjoy after the party! Everyone loved it.


These were a repeat of a design that we have done before. The design is from a little notepad. I think my daughter did a better job of re-creating it the first time!


More adorable little dresses with matching handbags!
