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!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby Anisten! - Great Expectations II

This cake was for one of my phenomenal friends baby showers!  The top tier was a strawberry cake with a whipped cream filling and the bottom tier was yellow cake with chocolate mousse.  The cake is covered in and decorated in MMF.  Her shower theme was Great Expectations.  This was my first time making a 3-D umbrella and mini bows.  The board was covered in MMF and I used Star Power Fondant Imprint Mat.  Each of the circles, ribbons, and dots on the umbrella was 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.

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!!!!!!!!!

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!
