Girly 1st Birthday Cake





































This is a two tier birthday cake and smash cake for the 1st birthday girl. I had so much fun designing this cake and putting it together. Iwas getting my ideas off of the birthday invitation. One of my favorite things to do with cake is mirroring the invitation for the party. The bottom tier is a vanilla cake with cookies and cream filling. The top tier is a devil's food cake with peanut butter mousse filling and chopped reeses peanut butter cups and fluffy buttercream frosting. Marshmallow fondant accents. The smash cake is a vanilla cake with fluffy buttercream frosting.

Cross Shaped Baptism Cake







This is a baptism cake for two brothers. It's a dark chocolate cake with fluffy buttercream frosting and filling. Very simple yet cute!

Antique Red & White Birthday Cake






This is an antique red & white birthday cake for my mother-in-law. Very simple. It's a dark chocolate cake with regular buttercream frosting. I really enjoy piping onto cakes. Don't get to do it too often but I find it very relaxing.

Pastel Girly Two Tier Cake






















This is a very girly pastel two tier cake. I was given the 5 year old girl's favorite colors and things such as flowers & hearts. This is what I came up with! This ranks right up there with my most favorite cakes I have ever done, and I'm not a fan of pastel colors. This is a dark chocolate cake wth peanut butter mousse filling with chopped up reeses peanut butter cups and fluffy buttercream frosting. Marshmallow fondant accents and some sugar pearls for decoration.

Two Cakes of Three in a Day ;-)


I actually had three cakes I did this day, the other one being the traditional carrot cake, but I had already delivered in to my neighbor before I got this picture of these two.

Elephant Themed Twin Boy Baby Shower Cake
















This is a two tier Elephant themed cake. I was told the centerpieces for the baby shower had peanuts in them, so I went with peanut decor to tie in with the Elephant theme of the shower. I love this cake. Bottom tier is white chocolate cake with raspberry filling and regular buttercream frosting, covered in marshmallow fondant. Top tier is dark chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and regular buttercream frosting, covered in marshmallow fondant. All pieces are made from marshmallow fondant.

Classic Birthday Carrot Cake






A traditional carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and filling. Very elegant and simple at the same time ;-) I love doing cakes like this, that looked like you might have purchased right from the bakery shelf.

Cinderella Birthday Cake
























A two tier Cinderella Cake for the birthday girl. I am so pleased with how this cake turned out. Who doesn't love a classic Disney princess. Bottom tier is vanilla cake with cookies and cream filling and fluffy buttercream frosting, covered in marshmallow fondant. Top tier is dark chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling and fluffy buttercream frosting, covered in marshmallow fondant. All pieces are made from marshmallow fondant. I placed Cinderella on the cake a little contorted on accident, and didn't notice it until she was permanently stuck on there.

Modern Baby Shower Cake for Boy





























A Modern Baby Shower Cake. Saw this idea on the internet, but only for girl, so changed out the colors to make it for a baby boy! Love it! This is a vanilla/chocolate marble cake with fluffy buttercream frosting and filling, and marshmallow fondant accents. This cake travelled to St. Louis for a baby shower. This is my last cake for the year 2010. 91 cakes for the year. Let's see what 2011 brings . . .

The top tier is a dark chocolate cake with banana cream filling and regular buttercream frosting, covered in marshmallow fondant.
