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.

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!

Present

This is a cake I made to practice my bow making.  I had my husband to take to work for him and his coworkers to enjoy. It was a orange cake with chocolate mousse filling. It is covered in MMF and the bow was also made of MMF.

Tiara

This was a little girls birthday cake (for a friend's niece). The cake is vanilla with chocolate mousse and covered in MMF. The bow and beads are also made of MMF.  I then lightly dusted the "pearls" with edible glitter to add a little bit of shine. 

TMNT

This is a birthday cake I did for my brother's 22nd birthday. He was a HUGE fan as a kid. It was a light orange cake with an orange mousse filling and iced with vanilla butter cream. The turtle heads were molded from rice treats (this was my first attempt at molding with RKT) and then covered with fondant. The cake and cake board are also covered with fondant and lightly dusted with an edible silver powder for added depth. (while it's hard to tell the lid is the same color as the cake).

Allspark

This was done for my nephews birthday. He wanted a chocolate cake, with chocolate mousse AND chocolate butter cream icing. I then cut small sections out of the cake to resemble dents and missing chunks. It is covered in marshmallow fondant. I then hand carved into the fondant (some shapes and symbols) and dusted it with a silver edible powder for added shine!  This is my first attempt at a squared cake.

Coffee

This cake was for my mom's (in-law) birthday.  Our favorite Starbucks drink is a white chocolate mocha with raspberry.  So, when it was time to pick a flavor I knew it had to be a mocha cake with a white chocolate raspberry mousse.   There was also a raspberry puree that could be drizzled over each slice! The cake was covered with marshmallow fondant, the mocha coffee was made from chocolate butter cream, and topped with whipped topping. It is bordered with vanilla butter cream and chocolate covered espresso beans.
