White Chocolate Lime Pie






My birthday dessert (note, it is not cake). Yep, the cake lady does not want cake for her birthday so she makes herself her own pie . . . a White Chocolate Lime Pie. Perfect end of summer treat. Garnished with fresh whipped cream. YUMMY! And yes, that is a premade pie crust. I had to cut myself some slack on my birthday ;-)

Another Giant Cupcake














They just keep getting bigger and bigger. This is a vanilla/chocolate marble cake with cookies and cream filling and fluffy buttercream frosting. Marshmallow fondant accents. And to think I had a 6th layer in the cake and eventually took it out because it looked too big!

Two Tier Butterfly Cake













So so pretty! This cake was for a mini bridal show at Provena Cor Mariea in Rockford. The bottom tier is dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling. Top tier is vanilla cake with fluffy buttercream frosting and filling. I initially planned to do the color of this cake sage green with the butterflies and calla lillies but was notified the day before to incorporate purple after all my butterflies & calla lillies had been made. Also there was a bride and groom added to the top by Provena, otherwise this cake would look absolutely stunning I think with a third tier!


Four Cakes in One Day & Some Cupcakes ;-)


All in a day's work ;-)

Giant Cupcake & Dozen Cupcakes













The giant cupcake is a vanilla/chocolate marble cake with strawberry filling and fluffy buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. The cupcakes are vanilla cake with fluffy buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant homeade sprinkles. This is the first cupcake cake that I carved, the shaped pan was not working for me. Now these cupcakes are really huge ;-)


Another Pirate Ship










Another Pirate Ship of mine, with a little extras this time per request of the client. This is a vanilla cake with chocolate ganache filling covered with fresh strawberries. Fluffy buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. An island with treasure chest and palm tree were added this time and I LOVE the idea!

40th Pink & Black Polka Dot Cake













A Hot Pink & Black Polka Dot cake for the 40th birthday girl! This is a dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and raspberry filling.

Yummiest cake ever when paired with the melt in your mouth chocolate frosting, although still quite tasty with the fluffy buttercream ;-)

25th Wedding Anniversary Cake












25th Wedding Anniversary cake! I think it turned out lovely, especially for me who does not do flowers too often. Top tier is dark chocolate cake with fluffy buttercream frosting and filling. Bottom tier is vanilla cake with fluffy buttercream frosting and filling. Roses are made out of regular buttercream frosting. Daisies are made out of marshmallow fondant. The number 25 is made out of marshmallow fondant and sprayed with Duff Goldman's Silver Cake Graffitti. I made 70 more flowers that were placed on two separate sheetcakes ordered from somewhere else.
