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.

Dr. Seuss New Fish Baby Shower

This was for a baby shower with a Dr. Seuss theme "One fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, New Fish." The top tier was honey ginger cake with caramel apple filling and the bottom layer was chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling. It was covered and decorated in MMF and hand painted.

Felp Wedding Cake

This is my second wedding cake!  She wanted the flavors to resemble the fall them so I made the top tier was a honey ginger cake with a caramel apple filling, the middle tier was a spiced apple cake with a salted caramel filling, and the bottom layer was chocolate cake with caramel filling and drizzled with a caramel sauce for all the chocolate lovers.  The cake was then covered and decorated with MMF and the leaves were hand painted to add depth and detailing.

Felps Wedding - Groom's Cake

Our friend asked me to make a special cake for the groom.  She wanted it to resemble a bottle cap from his favorite drink.  The cake board was covered in fondant and hand painted to look like wood.  The cake was his favorite flavors, yellow cake with chocolate mousse filling.  It was then covered in MMF and hand painted.  TFL!!!!!!!!!

Poker!

This was for my dad's 55th birthday. Every Friday the guys in the neighborhood get together and play poker. So, I thought this would be a wonderful theme for his birthday!  The cake is a chocolate cake, with peanut butter mousse filling (I added chopped up Reese's piece to the filling)  and covered with chocolate frosting. I then used marshmallow fondant to cover the cake, make the poker chips and the playing cards. The white poker chips and playing cards were then hand painted with diluted food coloring or piped on.

Strawberry ShortCake!

Since my sister and my dad's birthdays are so close together we also celebrated her birthday that night.  Strawberry Shortcake was one of her FAVORITE things when we were growing up. 

I made a vanilla cake with a white chocolate strawberry mousse filling, iced in vanilla butter cream and decorated with fondant accents. I then used a candle for the decoration on top (haven't built up enough courage to try and mold a person yet). Though it is hard to see in this picture the words "happy birthday" along with some balloons are pressed into the white fondant.  When it came time to eat this, my niece thought the green balls were peas!
