Abby's wedding cake! I gifted this cake to Abby and Wayne, who's daughter Analise is good friends with Cassidy. Her flowers were just beautiful, and really made the cake look amazing. Now it's my turn to make a wedding cake- for ME!!
Tardis cake!! For all of you Dr. Who fans. I decided NOT to use fondant because I just don't like the way it tastes, so this is a little bit like a re-tardis cake (hahahahaaha!) but it was delicious! Complete with a blinking light on top, and the real paper that's attached to the Tardis on the series. I just copied that from the website, pasted it onto a word doc and resized it to fit the scale of the cake. I used gum paste to make the police call box sign, which isn't an exact replica as I ran out of room for any additional words. When I brought the cake up, I had a friend turn on the stereo, where I had cued up the sound of the Tardis taking off! My fiance was very impressed.

This was a super fun but challenging project. For my friend's son's birthday, he really wanted a Nike hightop shoe cake. I followed a design of a real shoe from the web and carved the cake from a square pan shape. Had to stack the heel to give it height, and put layers of fondant over it to hold it together. Then hand painted the swoosh!
Made this fun pillow cake for my darling friend Val, for her birthing way baby shower. Round cake on the bottom with orange fondant and almond flavored cake on the top for the pillow part... complete with a baby Ganesh!
