Mountain Climber Cake!

I had the pleasure of making this super fun cake for my close girlfriend, as she had planned a 40th birthday for her husband. Since he's into rock and mountain climbing, I was sooo excited to make this cake! It was so much fun. I rolled out a combination of tinted fondant and gum paste, let it dry overnight and then literally broke it into peices, that i then used royal icing to "glue" on to the base layer. The cake itself was chocolate, with ( i think) strawberry and chocolate filling, plus a base layer of gray tinted fondant that served to hold the multiple cake pieces together. The rocks are edible as well! I cracked up making the little climber guy, and it's obviously not to scale but no one cared. Great party, super fun day!

Rock climber and rock n roll!~

I made this little rock climber guy for Heidi and Tyler's combined birthday party. They included her sister Holly and her friend Jeff, who happened to enjoy climbing. I'd never met him before but didn't want him to be left out... so...the little climber guy is made out of fondant and gumpaste and it just cracked me up the way he was completely smooshed against the rock. I put together an ensemble of sorts with the stacked "jewels" for Heidi, the guitar (which i carved using a template from a square cake), a mini Warhol cake and the climber!

Olivia's cake

I made this one for little Olivia, who turned 2. The response i got was fantastic!! One child who never eats the cake part, only the frosting, gobbled down two whole pieces! This is sooo rewarding, especially when the kids are happy. Seeing that little girl smile so big when I brought in her cake just made my whole day!!!

Elegant bridal shower

I replicated the top of this cake from the shower invitation. The almond cake I used was amazing, so moist and delicious!

Warhol cake!

I made this cake for a bridal shower, and I was really happy with how it turned out! Lemon almond poppyseed cake with rasperry filling, royal blue tinted and painted fondant for the sides, petal shaped pan, and hand painted red buttercream frosting for the flower. Super fun!

Pretty pretty new price sheet. CUPCAKES!!!

Mosaic Pillow Cake!

I'm especially proud of this one, even though it didn't turn out like the one I was trying to replicate out of my book. The cake itself is butter cake with a meringue vanilla buttercream frosting and lemon filling. It was delicious!! The cake is covered first with tinted fondant, then I used a ruler and xacto knife to create the cuts, then hand painted each one with lemon extract mixed with different colors of luster dust. Then I created a rolled fondant cord and wrapped it around the perimeter. Super fun!
