Little Peanut



This cake was for a baby shower and I was told that the shower theme was elephants. They don't know the gender of the baby so they just call it "little peanut". She really wanted me to incorperate peanuts into somehow and this is what I came up with. The elephant and peanuts are made out of gumpaste and the cake was a butter cake with vanilla almond buttercream and fresh strawberries. Yumm!!
I had so much fun making the elephant and peanuts. I thought that since they called the baby "little peanut" it would be really cute to have the elephant holding a baby peanut wrapped in a recieving blanket. When the cake was picked up, she was so thrilled with how it turned out.

Beast Boy!



This cake was for my nephew's 3rd birthday. When he told me he wanted a Beast Boy cake I had no idea what he was talking about. So after some googling I learned that he is from a cartoon called Teen Titans. He has the ability to turn into any animal, that's why he's called Beast Boy.
I really wanted to do a 3D figure but I didn't have much time to make one so I did a 2D picture of his face and made his belt around the bottom of the cake. His favorite color is blue so I did a blue velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. It was delicious!

Take Me Out To The Ball Game!

This cake was for my son's first birthday. I had so much fun working on his cake. As you can tell his birthday party was baseball themed and we went all out! We had the main cake for everyone to eat, Tanner's smash cake, and burger and fries cupcakes/sugar cookies. Everything was super delicious and turned out perfect!

High Heel Glam!

My sister inlaw Seana was planning a birthday party for one of her friends and asked me to do the cake. The theme was vintage barbie. I was again given total creative freedom with this cake. After a lot of brainstorming this is what I came up with. I am so happy with how this cake turned out. I absolutely love making gumpaste high heel shoes! This was also my first time making an anemone flower. It was a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.

Polka Dots

This cake was for a girls 20th birthday. She told me that she didn't care what it looked like as long as it tasted great! All that I had to go by was that her favorite color was pink. It was fun and a little scary having the freedom to do what I wanted, especially since I didn't know her. So I decided just to do what I thought I would want if it were a cake for myself. Luckily for me she loved it! It was a strawberry coconut pecan cake with strawberry coconut pecan cream cheese frosting. Wow that's a mouth full!

Zebra & Hot Pink Birthday Cake

I had so much fun making this cake and was so happy with the way it turned out. It was for a good friend of mine that was turning the big 3-0. The cake matched all the party decor perfectly. The top tier was a chocolate cake with vanilla almond buttercream, the middle was a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and the bottom was a yellow butter cake with vanilla almond buttercream and fresh strawberries. The cupcakes were red velvet with cream cheese frosting.
