Gingerbread Cake


I was so excited to find gingerbread marshmallows this year, that I HAD to make gingerbread fondant! I did this cake for a Christmas party where I was supposed to bring dessert. The fondant tasted divine!

Surprise Paris Cake

Cake for my daughter's 18 birthday surprise party. Man, was it hard to hide!  I had never done the fondant drapes before, but like the way they turned out. The Eiffel Tower is done in royal icing, and the accents are done in fondant in molds.

Cassie and Devon's Cake(s)





 Wedding cake for our best friend's daughter. We just HAD to do a groom's cake with it due to the fact that they are both HUGE Smallville fans. The bottom two tiers of the wedding cake are "dummies" (styrofoam.) to add height.  Monogram cut with Cricut.
Grooms cake was a surprise for him. The logo was cut by hand from a stencil to fit it exactly to the cake.  Superman figure is a toy borrowed from their friend.

Dahlin Cakes






I put this entry all together for a reason.  It is so fun when you find a customer that keeps coming back!  The Dahlin family is that kind of customer.
These cakes marked the first time I did a wedding cake for a bride, and then got to do her baby shower cake a few years later.  I also did her sister's baby shower cake in between those two.
The wedding cake and "boy" cake were for Ashley.  The flowers on the wedding cake were done by the wedding florist (same one I've worked with on many cakes now); the shower cake was inspired by her invitations, and I even re-created the invitation in a plaque on the cake, using my Cricut.
The baby shower cake for Felicia marked another first; the first 3-D cake I've done, and the first time using the "choo-choo train" cake pan.  It turned out to be easier than I thought.
Another reason I love doing cakes for the Dahlins' is that they LOVE red velvet cake, and I finally found a red velvet cake that is moist!

Chipotle Burrito


My husband is a HUGE Chipotle fan!  I had seen several burrito cakes, but never an actual Chipotle cake, so I had to be the first to do one.  All of the filling is hand made, except for the "sour cream," which was marshmallow fluff.  Because he is such a regular customer at Chipotle, I was able to go in and get the paper to cover the board.

Bridal shower cake for a bride whose colors were plum and lime green. Simple design, but really fun to do.

Amanda and Blake's Wedding


Can't tell you how MANY people asked where I found a fountain, because they hadn't seen one of these in years! lol Bride had wanted this since she was a little girl and saw pictures of her mom's cake. All white cake with one funfetti tier for the groom! Flowers done by the wedding florist.
