Barn Cake

For a baby shower.  This cake along with 100 cupcakes will be on a tiered cupcake stand.  Half of the cupcakes have yellow jimmies, the others have 3 mini flowers.  I love this cake!

Catch of the Day

A different fish for me to make... hopefully the birthday guy will recognize it is a catfish.  All buttercream with gumpaste fins.

Pregnant Belly cake (again)

While I call this the pregnant belly cake, many call it the baby bump cake.  Regardless, this is another one that I've made.  This was a VERY last minute request due to a mishap in their order with another baker.   I hope that they like it.

Pregnant Belly Cake

Today's pregnant belly cake serves quite a few more than the other ones that I've made.  I didn't do a very good job with the lighting... cake was a light-medium shade of purple.  Hope that they enjoy it!

Long ear bunny

Meet Blossom's friend, the long-eared bunny.  I think she is also cute and was a lot quicker to make than Blossom!  Note to self... less curl to ear next time and slightly shorter ears!  Would be cute with some grass icing around her and some jelly beans!  Off she goes... hippity hop to the Open House tomorrow!

Easter Bunny

I've waited a year to make this cake.  I saw this cake made by Sharon Zambito in Louisiana.  She is absolutely amazing and has been on a lot of the cake shows on tv.  This is today's therapy session.... took a LONG time to make.  Sharon named it "Blossom Bunny" and I think that is appropriate!  Blossom will be greeting people at my Open House this Saturday! Thanks Sharon!

Pretty rose pound cake

My contribution to our dinner with friends this evening.  Vanilla almond pound cake, with strawberries and a sprinkling of powdered sugar... should be yummy!

Cycling to 60 Birthday

Birthday cake for a cycling enthusiast.  

Deviled eggs- white chocolate style

Wedding Wire Award

Wahoo!

Curious George

Some cakes just make me smile... and this is one of them.  I enjoyed making this cake for a new customer and hope that Lila enjoyed her 2nd birthday cake!

Game of Thrones Cake

A very good friend of mine called a couple of days ago to remind me of his son's birthday.  Said that Matt liked the Ours is the Fury  and Game of Thrones.  I've never heard of either of these.  Decided that I wanted to have fun with Matt's cake so this is what I made.  Hope that he likes it!



"Brock's Cake"

   

At the party with the wired decorations or "pokies"

One of my most popular cakes is "Brock's cake".  When I receive a call referencing it I know exactly which cake the caller is talking about.  Actually, I think it should be called "CJ's" cake since I believe that was the original one.  Regardless, the past 2 weeks I have had several request for "Brock's cake". 

Favorite Cake Classes

I will be heading back down to the Atlanta area for 3 days of sugar clases in a few weeks.  I always have a great time down there and learn so many new things.  This cake was from one of my favorite classes... I have had the opportunity to re-create the shoe and purse many times.  This has been a popular class taught by Nicholas Lodge at his Internation Sugar Art Collection.

What will it Bee?

Some cakes just make you smile... this one made me smile.  It was for a baby shower luncheon at a local dentist office.  As you can see, the mom-to-be does not know if it will Bee a girl or Bee a boy!

Dinosaur Birthday

I've made some fun children's cakes this past summer.  This cake was a last minute request for a dinosaur birthday cake.  The birthday boy really liked it!  The following weekend I made a cake for his brother... will find that photo and post it also.  Be sure to check out the cake on my facebook page!

Cake Bling

This was a last minute cake request.  I learned that if I do a last minute cake... can't be overly elaborate!  Why?  Sadly, the ring was rushed and was not hard enough so the it didn't stay as round looking!  I did make the isomalt diamond which was fun.  The bling on the sides... purchased from a cake supplier in New York... expensive but fun so I had to buy some! It is several rows of silver rhinestone mesh.... not edible.  I am going to order some gold rhinestone mesh also.

Fishing Creel Groom's Cake

This was a fun cake to make.  Sheet cake with a smaller round cake with a sugar cookie lid.  Purchased the gummy worms but everything else is edible.  The bride picked up the cake and was sure that her fiance would like it!  Hope that he does!

Sarah's Graduation

I decided to do something "different" for Sarah's graduation cake.  Thought that I would recognize her years of achievement by commemorating where she will be going to college.  Since Columbia University is in New York City, I used some outlines of NYC buildings.  The crown is the orginal logo used back in 1754.  I believe there are several crowns in use but this one was easier for me to cut out of gum paste.  Cake was almond vanilla (my favorite).  She loved her cake.  The fondant was pretty good (Albert Uster). Good Luck Sarah Faith!

Pink Ruffled Birthday Cake

Sarah Faith's 18th Birthday cake
I wanted to try a ruffled cake and decided to experiment for my daughter's birthday.  For a first attempt, I thought it turned out fairly well.  More importantly, the birthday girl LOVED her cake!
