Dora Birthday Cake

A simple sheet cake for a birthday party.

50th Birthday Cake

This cake was for a 50th Birthday party for Lynda. It was a marbled vanilla and chocolate cake with chocolate mousse..... the top layer had a hazelnut chocolate mousse. I was running behind on this cake.... but luckily my sister-in-law came by and jumped right in helping me ice, pipe, and finish off this cake. She did a FANTASTIC job!

Purple birthday cake

This was a birthday cake for Brooke's mom. She sent a picture of what the top should look like, but I got to play around with the bottom design. I really like the changes in color. The bottom cake was chocolate with raspberry filling and the top was chocolate cake with a chocolate mousse filling.

My husband's favorite cake.....

It's just one of those prefabricated Wilton cake pans that I used for Davis' birthday, but my husband insists he LOVES this cake..... so here you go!

Happy Anniversary!

This was a cake for a surprise party for a 25 year anniversary. I tried a new butter cake recipe and used an Swiss Meringue buttercream. This turned out well. I like this buttercream so much better. It has a light texture and rich taste without feeling greasy like a lot of the shortening based buttercream recipes.

Tupac cake

Yes, you read that right. May I present the one and only (rapper cake I will ever do).....

TUPAC!! Word to your mo' G Dawg...... and yes, that was said with every ounce of white girlness I could muster

Small two tier anniversary cake

This was a carrot cake with whipped cream cheese icing.

5 yr Anniversary Cake

I love the finished look of this cake. Same type of swirl design I did with the practice wedding cake, but the contrast in colors is nice. I have another black/white/red cake that I am doing for tomorrow.... more pictures to come.

Strawberry Oreo Ice Cream Cake

The picture above was a work in progress. It shows the bottom layer of Oreo

with partially finished strawberry layer. I finished slicing strawberries

to cover the entire crust, the drizzled the strawberry puree on top of that.

This cake was fun to do. I started with an Oreo crust, topped with fresh sliced berries (see pic), then drizzled with fresh strawberry puree and topped with Oreo ice cream. I did these layers twice. Turned out yummy! You can't go wrong with chocolate and strawberries, right?

Tres Leches Cake

This is a tres leches cake with mixed berries and whipping cream. The cake itself is so rich, that it doesn't really need anything else!

Practice Wedding Cake

There are still some minor imperfections in this cake, but overall, I love the simplicity of the design.

Cupcakes

These cupcakes were fun. There were for a 9 year old girl's birthday party. I made chocolate with a vanilla cream filling, strawberry with a fruit-creme filling, and vanilla with a whipped lemon mousse filling.

Happy Birthday Heather!

This cake was for my sister-in-law's birthday. I tried a new filling that was a lemon buttercream and used the raspberry filling left over from the butterfly. It was yummy! Next time I will remember to use royal icing. The buttercream was beautiful, but as the cake warmed, the flowers became too soft and seemed to lose a little of their shape.

This cake was done for the Porcelli Family. It was my first time to use a buttercream fondant. I wish that I had more time to do better detail work, but it was a last minute request, so we had to roll with it. I must say, the flavor of the buttercream fondant is MUCH better than regular fondant!
