3 Tier Wedding Cake with White & Black Flowers
































A 3 tier wedding cake. I love the idea and design of the cake which was given to me by the bride. This is a vanilla cake with raspberry filling and fluffy buttercream frosting. Giant leaves and flowers are made out of marshmallow fondant.




Macbook Pro Cake







This is a Macbook Pro cake complete post it note and pencil all on a desk. This is a devil's food cake with chocolate ganache filling and melt in your mouth chocolate frosting, covered in marshmallow fondant. I was very pleased that I was able to figure out a way to have it open and have it be rather sturdy. The screen is printed on edible rice paper to get it a more real look. Hope the 16th Birthday boy loved it, I know his mom did ;-)

Pirate Garb Cake & Redo Cake


















A Pirate Garb Themed Cake. This cake was a stressful one for me. But in the end it turned out fine. The first cake I made, which is the four bottom pictures did not make it to it's destination in one piece, therefore, I salvaged what I could from the first cake and made a whole other one, just a little bit different. I moved the eye patch, telescope, sword and pirate flag to the second cake but did not cake a picture of the finished product. First cake was a marble cake with chocolate mousse filling and melt in your mouth chocolate frosting, marshmallow fondant accents. 2nd and Final Cake is a vanilla cake with chocolate ganache filling and fluffy buttercream frosting, minimal marshmallow fondant accents. I hear the birthday boy loved his cake and that it was delicious. I guess that's all that matters in the end ;-)



Guitar Birthday Cake





A Guitar Cake for the 18th Birthday Boy! I initially wanted to do a full size guitar cake but this needed to fit it in the fridge, therefore it's rather small. This is a white chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and cream cheese frosting. Covered in marshmallow fondant. Guitar is cake as well.

Camping Birthday Cake













A camping cake for three siblings celebrating their birthdays together. Each child is resembled in their own little tent complete with campfire. This is a vanilla cake with cookies and cream filling and regular buttercream frosting.

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 ;-)
