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!

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.
