It's a girl!

This cake was made for a couple expecting a baby girl. When I was asked to make this cake, they specifically wanted the bear to sit on top of a baby blanket with the colors that will match their babies nursery. The cake was white with strawberry buttercream filing, and the bear was also white cake. The blanket was made from homemade marshmallow fondant, and the blocks were made from Rice Krispy treats and then covered in fondant. The entire cake is edible with the exception of the pink plastic safety on the diaper which are difficult to see because the diaper is also pink. Congratulations Katie on your upcoming baby girl!

Guitar Hero

This life sized guitar hero cake was made for a young boy turning 9. I was told by his dad that he is quite the guitar hero player and can even play behind his back which is pretty impressive if you ask me! The cake was white with chocolate buttercream/chocolate chip filling, frosted with vanilla buttercream and then covered with homemade marshmallow fondant. Happy 9th birthday Chris! Rock on!!

XBox 360

This cake was made for a boy turning 14 who loves XBox. The cake was chocolate with chocolate buttercream/chocolate chip filling and covered with vanilla buttercream with fondant pieces. The controller was made from Rice Krispy treats and covered in fondant. For some reason, the quality of these photos are not very good... they seem blurry and distorted, and don't give the cake justice. Happy 14th birthday Jacob!

Ryan's 3D football cake

Nathan's Stegosaurus cake

This cake was made for a young boy turning 2, and was based on a stegosaurus from his favorite book called "Dinosaur." The cake was yellow with almond flavoring and raspberry buttercream filling. The dino's body was also cake and was covered in homemade marshmallow fondant. His head, legs, tail and spikes were also fondant. Happy birthday Nathan!

Andrew's Lightning McQueen 3rd birthday cake

This cake was made for a little boy who was turning 3. He is a Lightning McQueen fan, so that is what he got. Last year on his second birthday a rainbow came out, so he said that he wanted a rainbow for his next birthday cake, so I incorporated a rainbow onto his cake as well. His party was a very large one... around 200 people, so a sheet cake was also made. The top tier was white with a vanilla buttercream/chocolate chip buttercream filling, the bottom tier was white with strawberry buttercream filling, and the sheet cake was chocolate with vanilla buttercream/chocolate chip filling. Lightning McQueen was hand sculpted from Rice Krispy treats and covered in fondant with fondant pieces. The rainbow as well as all of the "decorations" on the cake... street signs, cactus, rocks, sand dunes/mountains, and checker board were all made from homemade marshmallow fondant. Happy 3rd birthday Andrew!

Saniya's Princess Castle

This cake was made for some friends of ours daughter Saniya who was turning 4. A few months back, I made a castle for my daughter's 3rd birthday which was the same size and shape, but had different fondant designs... I actually like the way this one turned out more. The top cake was vanilla with chocolate chip filling and the bottom was vanilla with strawberry filling. All decorations were made from homemade marshmallow fondant, and ice cream cones were used on top of the pillars. Happy Birthday Princess Saniya!





The writing on the banner looks like it was written with a sharpie, but it is actually edible marker.

This area (the door and the windows) was my favorite part!

Emma's Princess Cake!

This cake was made for a little princess who was turning 4. It is very similar to the one I made last month, but the crown is different, the colors were a tad darker and they were flip flopped. The cake was white with strawberry buttercream filling, and coordinating cupcakes were white with vanilla buttercream frosting. The crown, wand, stars, flowers, 4, banner, and polka dots were all made from fondant and were brushed with pink and purple shimmer powder and sprinkled with sanding sugar. Happy birthday princess Emma!

Abby's Princess Cake!

3D turtle cake, 3D bear cake and cupcakes!

I LOVE the way this cake turned out... I think it is my favorite yet! The entire cake including the turtle was yellow with chocolate buttercream filling. The turtle shell was covered with homemade marshmallow fondant and decorated with fondant pieces and the turtle head, feet, hands and tail (which you cant see) were also made from fondant. Happy Birthday Jonah!

It's a girl!!
The only thing that I was told I absolutely had to do with this cake was make the bear pink... I could do what ever I wanted with the rest. This entire cake (including the bear) was all white with buttercream frosting, homemade marshmellow fondant pieces include the blanket, bow, banner, and buttons. Congratulations Shantel!

I tried out a few new recipes this week, so I made cupcakes!

These ones were good, just not fluffy enough.


These ones... well, not so good! :(

Princess Malena's Castle!

My daughter turned 3 years old, and decided that she wanted a princess party, so we decided to make a princess castle cake. If you ask what her what her name is, she will proudly tell you that her name is princess Malena! (It must be nice living in a fantasy world). All the girls came dressed as princess which was so adorable... we even had a boy dressed as Batman! Anyway, the bottom layer was chocolate, and the top was white all with vanilla buttercream frosting. Paper towel rolls were used for the towers and then wrapped in fondant, ice cream cones that are on top of the towers were rolled in purple chocolate and then sprinkled heavily with edible sparkles, all of the flowers were fondant and were made by my sister-in-law, and princess figurines were used for the finishing touches. Happy 3rd birthday Princess Malena!
