Aaron and Jessy's Wedding

My brother's wedding cake. When he got engaged, he said he and his bride just wanted it to have "mom's icing, and her icing roses." (Our mom did wedding cakes as well.) All decorations are white chocolate buttercream. Very yummy! And they were so thrilled, my new sister-in-law was literally jumping up and down! 

Pink and Brown Baby Shower

First time doing gumpaste booties. I was pretty happy with how they turned out. Also, just bought an extruder for this design. LOVE IT! So much fun! The separate cake is a 4" because of some last minute additions to the guest list, and I had made this one with extra batter anyway. Just wanted to be on the safe side. 

Drum Cake

OK, I just had to try one of these since my son plays the drums, so we did this one for his teacher. It is actually just a 4" round. I was upset that the candy melts holding the drumsticks on show up so much; oh well. Hope he likes it! All of the accents are fondant with spaghetti for the rods on the side.

Megan and Matt's Wedding Cake

Small wedding cake for a friend. I did her sister's cake in December, and she pretty much wanted the same cake, with slight modifications. Flowers added by the bride's sisters. Not 2 minutes after I took this picture, MOB came to me and asked if I had any extra beads, as the 3 yr old nephew of the bride was caught just sticking his fingers in the front. He was caught in time, so minimal damage, and we were able to fix it (whew!)

John Deere

Birthday cake for a friend who works for John Deere. Stripes and bow done with fondant and gumpaste, letters cut out on the Cricut.

Breannah's Graduation

Graduation cake for two friends. The only instructions were "leopard and zebra print in purples and/or greens. One of the graduates used to be on the drill team and had seen a similar cake layout in my photos, so that is where the structural idea came from. I hand painted the leopard print, and really liked the way it turned out! Letters, numbers, and stars were cut out on my Cricut.

Heather and Cameron's Wedding

My second actual wedding cake, done for a good friend who used to babysit for us. These can be the most fun to do, when it seems more personal! The reception was the day after Christmas, it had been snowing for three days! Fortunately, the venue is only about 1 mile from my house (whew!) It was only my second time using swiss meringue buttercream. Flowers were done by the florist for the wedding, and it was my first time teaming up with a wedding florist on a cake, but it turned out great!
