Cinco de Mayo Cake II

So... I had a friend's husband contact me last week for a surprise party for his wife! I was so excited to be a part of her surprise! Makes you feel like a child keeping a secret! LoL. So after some picture sharing and a sketch, a Cinco de Mayo cake was created for the party! This was a four-layer marble cake with buttercream filling. All the decorations and accents are made by hand and out of marshmellow fondant. The only survivor of the cake was the cactus... the cake and fondant was dispersed and eaten immediately. Ah... the relief of a job well done. ^_^  Until next time....

Basketball and Football Cake Pops

So... here we are again! More cake pops! Made this for a husband who loves basketball! Who needs cake when you can have a cake pop "cake"? :)

Fruit Basket Cake

Made this cake for my aunt who LOVES strawberries! :D  So I made her a fruit basket cake with strawberries, grapes, and blueberries. What you see is a strawberry shortcake basket. It is filled with strawberries and whipped cream. I can honestly say that this was DELISH!! (^_^)

 

Elephant Birthday Cake

Made this cake for my brother's wife who is a HUGE elephant lover. With my brother's help, we designed this cake for her birthday. Everything is edible and molded from Marshmellow Fondant (MMF). The cake is covered and filled with cream cheese frosting- which was absolutely delicious- if I may say so myself. LoL.

The elephant is sitting on a patch of grass holding a heart. The small gifts spelled out her name and the lettering was all done with MMF.

This was one of my bigger projects and was very excited with the outcome! 

 

CheeseCake Pops

Happy New Year!! I have hit the ground running so far this year...

So my dad's birthday was yesterday and I decided to finally experiment with cheesecake pops. He is a HUGE cheesecake fan, so I figured, hey- cheesecake on a stick- easy to eat and super yummy!!

Well, let me tell you, it was a MESSY ordeal, LoL. But, I think the end product came out great. Something I learned the hard way, though, is that these pops need to be refrigerated until they are ready to be eaten!!

These were strawberry cheesecake pops with white chocolate and red sprinkles made into a "basket" with accessories. :)

Next time, I will experiment with oreo cookie cheesecake dipped in chocolate and covered with graham crackers... sounds soooo yummy-licious.

Castle Cake

Made this cake for a boy turning 6 where knights and castles was the theme. This cake was my final cake, literally 12/31, of 2010. He absolutely loved it!!

3 tiered cake and a fondant covered buttercream tower. Chocolate and vanilla cakes with buttercream! It was a hit and the birthday boy was happy!

It was a great way to end 2010!

*I don't want to take credit for the origin of this cake. The mom printed a picture of a cake that she wanted and this cake was created from that inspiration.

Minnesota Vikings FBCT

Made this for my brother who is a huge Vikings fan! It's a frozen buttercream transfer (FBCT) double layered 8 in cake with vanilla filling. This is a perfect cake for a sports lover or even a groom's cake!

Toy Story Cake

Toy Story themed party. Horrible picture but it captures the vision and the highlights of the cake.

Princess Barbie

Made this for a 5 year old girl. Strawberry cake decorated and filled with buttercream.

Lightning McQueen

This was my first offical order for a friend. Her son loved Cars at the time and really enjoyed the cake and he topper! This cake was half chocolate and half vanilla filled with bavarian cream and decorated in buttercream frosting.



Spongebob Cake

This was my son's 2nd birthday cake. Experimentation with molding using rice crispy treats were quite a success! Spongebob was a bit too big but either way, my son loved it! Gary was made out of fondant. Coordinated the cake with the decorations.

 

My first cake in 2008

I made this cake for my mom's 46th Birthday. It was my first official cake that I baked and decorated. This cake was an inside joke with my mom who always said she would die before the age of 47. Everything except the tombstone is edible. It was my first atempt at a basketweave pattern. Pineapple cake with vanilla filling, YUM!
