Welcome to Our Nest!

I'm not sure how this one got left out!  This is the cake I made for our house warming party.  It was covered in MMF (Marshmallow fondant) and had fondant letters and eggs.  The boarder is out of vanilla BC and the nest was made from dark chocolate.  The bottom cake was chocolate with fresh strawberry slices and a vanilla whipped topping and the top layer was vanilla cake with a chocolate mousse and fresh strawberries slices.   TFL!

Beachy Birthday!

My friend asked me to make her daughter's 8th birthday cake. It was a 6" and 8" stacked cake. She wanted it to be a beach theme with a beach ball on top. This is what I came up with. It is covered and decorated with MMF. TFL!

Great Expectations!


My very good friend Sarah wanted me to make her sister's baby shower cake. She was using the decorations and invitations from the Great Expectations line and wanted the cake to co-ordinate.  This was a 6" cake (they were also having cupcakes).  The cake was covered in and decorated with MMF.

Groom's Cake



I made this for my friend Daniel's grooms cake. He wanted chocolate cake and chocolate mint butter cream. This was my first time make a can and hand painting! I'm SO glad it turned out pretty well and best of all he loved it!  I used drops of piping gel for the sweat on the can.



Flowers and Butterfly

I made this cake for a friend who was hosting Mother's Day. It was my first attempt at a butterfly. My cutter and impression mat didn't arrive on time, so I improvised and used a stamp!  She wanted a white cake with a white butterfly.  If I had it to do again, I would have tried harder to get her to let me put just a hint of color into the butterfly, to help it stand out.  I forgot to take a picture after I piped in the centers of the flowers, I used a small dot off vanilla BC.
