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!!!!!!!!!!!

Celebrating Baby Kaylee - Mia Rose Cake

Sorry this picture is sideways.  I've tried EVERYTHING to get it right side up!!!!!!!!  I made this cake for one of my BEST friends baby shower.  She is expecting her first child (Kaylee) and I was blessed enough to be asked to make the cake!!!!!!  Her shower theme was . . . you guessed it pink and brown.  So I chose to base her cake off of her baby bedding CoCaLo Mia Rose
The top tier was a 4" cake which I made from pound cake.  The middle tier was strawberry cake with a chocolate mousse filling.  While the bottom was death by chocolate, dark chocolate cake with chocolate mousse.  All the layers were iced in chocolate butter cream.  The 3 tiers are covered and decorated in fondant.  The pink fondant is strawberry MMF and the brown fondant is chocolate MMF.  The name plate, butterflies and middle tier were all hand painted.  I had SO much fun with this cake, it's the first one in a while that I haven't had any instructions and got to just design and go.

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.

Daisy Birthday


This was for a 21st birthday. Her sister was getting her white daisies, so she wanted a pink cake (birthday girls fav color) and white daisies to coordinate with the flowers. This was my first attempt at edible paint and daisies. TFL!

Purple Passion

This cake I made for my grandma Lee Lee's birthday. It was my first bow ever! Her favorite color is purple. This was a dark chocolate cake with strawberry puree, white chocolate mousse and fresh sliced strawberries in between each layer.
