Not too Sweet - Sweet 16

This cake I made for a Sweet 16. It was covered in and decorated with MMF. The skull topper was sculpted from MMF , details were the carved into the sculpture and then it was painted. The top tier was a banana split cake. It's a vanilla based cake with mashed bananas added to the batter. It was then filled with a layer of dark chocolate icing, homemade vanilla whipped cream and chopped cherries. The bottom tier was a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and whipped filling.

Sushi! Happy Birthday Ryan!

Here is my second cake since baby! If you recall back in March I made a sushi cake for my brother's birthday. Well a friend if mine saw it and asked me to make a red velvet cake for her boyfriend's birthday. I didn't want to make the same exact cake, but knew she wanted the table. So, I decided to make the table setting a little different this time. As luck would have it, this cake matched their table scape PERFECTLY!

Cake was red velvet with cream cheese filling, crumb coated with vanilla BC, covered and decorated with MMF. TFL!

After a 3 month hiatus I'm back! Giving birth to my beautiful baby girl was the most amazing experience! She is definitely the best thing I'll EVER bake from scratch.

This is a dark chocolate cake with homemade vanilla whipped cream and sliced strawberries as filling. It is iced in vanilla BC and is covered and decorated with MMF. Happy birthday Mama Smith!

Oh How Tweet! Sarah's Sprinkle

This weekend I hosted a baby shower for my sister.  With it being her 3rd child she didn't want anything huge and over the top, so we had a sprinkle instead!   

This is the cake I made for her, it coordinated with her invites.  The cake was a chocolate fudge cake.  Then the layers alternated with chocolate pudding and chocolate whipped icing.  Each layer also had sliced strawberries.  It was then covered in chocolate MMF.  At the decor was made from MMF and then hand painted.  TFL!

Chicago Bears

This cake was made for my Dad's 56th birthday! We are HUGE Chicago fans, so I decided to make him a Bears themed cake. It is almost impossible to tell from the picture, but the blue fondant is impressed with balloons, "Happy Birthday", and "Celebrate". The cake and cake board are decorated with MMF. I then painted the numbers onto the cake board using Wilton's White-White.


My dad's not a big dessert person, but loves his peanut butter cups. So, every year I make him a chocolate cake with a peanut butter filling. This year I decided to switch it up a bit. So, I made him a Peanut butter silk cake. I followed the cake recipe and changed the filling just a little. I added cocoa powdered and a little powdered sugar; giving him a peanut butter cake with a chocolate-peanut butter mousse. I then sprinkled crushed up butterfingers on top of the mousse; giving each bite just a bit of a crunch!  TFL

75th Birthday - Mardi Gras Theme

I was lucky enough to be asked to do a 75th birthday cake for one of my closest friend's (growing up) dad!  This was a FUN one to do too!  The theme was Mardi Gras.  I knew I couldn't do a Mardi Gras cake without at least one mask, and if there is going to be one you might as well do two!!!!  The masks were made from MMF and painted with edible gold paint.  They had originally asked for a 2 tier cake, but I decided a 75th birthday REALLY needed a 3rd tier :-)  All 3 tiers were marble cake, which I used vanilla cake, chocolate cake and melted chocolate.  So each bite had a nice chocolate surprise!  Then the top and bottom tier were filled with vanilla BC; while the middle tier had chocolate mousse!  The cake was covered in white MMF and then decorated with MMF (the gold was painted using edible paint).  To keep the medal wires from touching the cake I inserted a straw, which then butted up to the dowel.  The cake was stabilized using a wooden dowel that went from the top tier through the bottom (leaving about a 2" gap on the top for the straw).    TFL!!!!

My sister's birthday cake was a Mojito Cake by Betty Crocker!  This is my FAVORITE cake and is now my sister's also :-)

Her two favorite colors are purple and teal.  The cake is covered and decorated in MMF.  The board is also covered in MMF and I used the Wilton Happy Birthday Fondant Imprint Mat to add a little texture and decoration.  The cake board, flower and teal circles were all dusted with edible silver dust.  TFL!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby Anisten! - Great Expectations II

This cake was for one of my phenomenal friends baby showers!  The top tier was a strawberry cake with a whipped cream filling and the bottom tier was yellow cake with chocolate mousse.  The cake is covered in and decorated in MMF.  Her shower theme was Great Expectations.  This was my first time making a 3-D umbrella and mini bows.  The board was covered in MMF and I used Star Power Fondant Imprint Mat.  Each of the circles, ribbons, and dots on the umbrella was dusted with edible silver dust.  TFL
