Wine Bottle Cake


This is my first attempt at a wine bottle cake. Overall, I was pleased with it. I certainly learned while I was doing it. The crate is fondant over buttercream. The bottle is buttercream. The white shavings in the crate are grated white chocolate. I used the imprint from a bottle of wine from Owl's Eye Winery to make the impression on the top of the bottle (can't see it in the photo). My husband helped to carve the wine bottle!

Brandon's Bud Light


This is Brandon's Bud Light cake. I heard from Ali that he really liked it. I learned a lot from this cake. The next one will be better!

40th Birthdays


I've been making quite a few 40th birthday cakes! (I have one that is underway for tomorrow). This is one of my favorites... it was for Katie's 40th birthday. Cake was short notice and I didn't have a lot of time to think about it but I was pleased with the result. Let me know what you think.

Well... more soon...
