Snow White Cake

This is a Barbie cake that I replaced with a Snow White doll for my niece.

Spaghetti and Meatballs

This is a plate of cupcakes made to look like spaghetti and meatballs. I used Ferrero Rocher candies dipped in strawberry preserves to represent the meatballs and sauce. I used buttercream frosting for the noodles.
I would have done this on a smaller version on a dinner plate, but I had to have enough for an entire preschool class, so I had to use all 24 cupcakes.

Cupcake pull-apart cakes

I was asked to make a pull apart cake to look like the invitation that a client was using.
Each cupcake was made of 15 cupcakes. I used the same colors that were used on the invitation and even used the same chenille that was used on the invitations.
So, when put together, it was 45 cupcakes. I was very pleased with how it turned out.

Rock Star Birthday

My daughter turned 5 and wanted a Rock Star party. So, I found a cake like this online. Each tier had 1 layer chocolate and 1 layer yellow cake. I ordered the edible images online and had a picture from each year of her life put on them.

Vania's Wedding Cake

I was asked to make this cake for my sister-in-law's sister. The bottom layer is a 16" square. Above that are round layers, size 14", 12", 10", and 8". Each layer has raspberry filling in between. I used buttercream frosting. I did it all in white and the bottom picture is the cake after the gum paste flowers were added. The gum paste flowers were not made by me, but made by my sister-in-law's aunt in Mexico.

This is a bugs cake. The client placed some gummy worms and bugs on it before it was served. The tree stump says, "Cole + Mom".

Fondant Cakes

I was able to practice my fondant techniques this past week. I was asked to make a baby shower cake. They used the colors green and chocolate brown and wanted it to look like 2 gifts on top of one another. The customer made 2 bows of ribbon to go on top and on the bottom where the fondant ribbons cross. If they get me a finished picture I will post it too.

I was also asked this week to make a cake for a friend's surprise 30th birthday party. My friend's wife and I looked at some websites and she really liked this style. We used red, black, and white because it was close to Valentine's but also because my friend graduated from the University of Utah and those are their colors. The bottom and top layers were chocolate pound cake and the middle layer was plain pound cake.



Camouflage Cake

My friend's little boy loves army figures and she asked if I would do a camouflage cake. So, I just made a 9 x 13 cake and then drew the black lines and filled in with 2 different greens and a brown. She put some army men on it when they had the party. I thought it turned out really cute!

90th birthday cake

My grandma turned 90 years old and we did a party for her. My cousin had a stand that she thought would look pretty, so I decided to do a square tiered cake to put on the stand. The more I thought about it, I decided to try using fondant. I did a 6 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, and 12 inch cake. Each cake had 2 layers with buttercream frosting in between. I covered each layer with fondant and then put ribbon around the base. My cousin put the flowers on top of each layer after we got it to the church for the party. The top, next to the bottom, and bottom cakes were all regular pound cake. The second cake down was a chocolate pound cake (my favorite).
