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!!!!!!!!!

Bach Wedding!

This was my very first wedding cake!  Our friends asked me to be the one to have the honors in making their wedding cake.  The top and bottom layer were lemon cake with vanilla BC and lemon filling alternating the torted layers.  The middle layer was white cake with lemon filling.  The border was hand pipped on and the "ribbon" and monogram were made from MMF and then painted with an edible gold paint. 

Unfortunately I wasn't able to go to the wedding (I was in my first trimester and puking), so my husband got to be the one to deliver the cake.  While during transit there was a bit of a traffic problem and to avoid an accident he had to hit the breaks.  This caused the middle tier to shift ever so slightly and mess up the hand piped border.  Luckily I sent him with a repair kit.  For someone who's NEVER touched a piping bag in his life he did a really good job fixing the problem!

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.
