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.

30th Birthday

This was for my PHENOMENAL friend Erin's birthday. The bottom cake was a PiƱa colada cake with a coconut cream filling. The top tier was a dark chocolate cake, the filling alternated with white chocolate mousse with sliced strawberries and chocolate whipped mousse with strawberry slices. This was my first attempt at a shoe, zebra strips, shoe boxes and royal icing stenciling. I got the cake boards a little too big.   I wish they'd have been a smidge smaller so you couldn't see them.  The cakes, stripes and shoe were made from MMF.  TFL!!!!

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!
