8th Birthday Cake

This was a cake done for my daughter's 8th birthday. She is such a sweet girl. I showed her a picture of a cake with a fondant bow with the curly ribbons on it and she looked at the cake and said she liked it but it was okay if I could not make the bow and stuff. So I had to prove to her that I could do it! This cake is a double layered 10 inch square on the bottom, the middle layer was two 8 inch rounds and the top a 6 inch round. The bottom two layers are pound cake filled with bavarian cream. The top layer is a banana cake. The entire cake is iced in buttercream with fondant accents. The brown accents were chocolate. It was nice to have than hint of chocolate!

Lime Green and Pink Cake

This just goes to show how much the colors can change a cake. This is the third time I have made this cake and yet again it looks so different! It is a pound cake filled and iced with buttercream with fondant accents.

Strawberry Cake

This is a strawberry cake iced in strawberry buttercream. It is a triple layer 9 inch round cake.

The King's Academy cake

My kids go to a school called The King's Academy. It is a wonderful school and deserves a plug on my blog. They have allowed me to make their birthday cakes this year. They do them quarterly. And best of all, they let me make whatever I want! So this one made to look like a Happy Birthday napkin that I had. I meant to take a picture of them side by side, but I forgot! If you look closely, you can see it covering the cake plate. This yet another lemon pound cake with lemon curd filling and iced in lemon buttercream.

First Birthday Cake

This was for a little boy's first birthday. It was a 14 inch round cake with two different cakes carved into the shape of a cupcake. The candle is a piroette cookie covered in buttercream and edible glitter and the flame on the candle was made out of fondant. The cake is iced in buttercream and the polka dots are fondant too. The sides of the cake were also covered in polka dots. The smaller cake was a smash cake for the baby boy.

This was a cake that was ordered for a 40th birthday. I had done one in blue for my nephew's first birthday. I decided at the last minute to add the black accents to make it more grown up. This was a lemon pound cake filled with lemon curd and iced with a lemon buttercream.

Bakugan Cake

I had a customer order Bakugan cake. I had no idea what Bakugan was! I did some research and this is what I came up with. This is a Drago (I think that is what it is called!) ball. I made the explosion on the cake with red, orange and yellow buttercream and the white is done with white chocolate. This was my attempt with white chocolate. It was fun and I can't wait to play with it again!

Blues Clues Cake

This was a Blues Clues cake that I did for my youngest son's 3rd birthay. This was done free hand. It was a lemon pound cake filled with lemon curd and iced in a lemon butter cream.

Mounds cake

I called this a Mounds cake because it tastes like a Mounds chocolate bar. It was my favorite chocolate cake (with chocolate chunks!) covered in coconut italian meringue. This was actually a cake that was for a dinner party with our good friends so I got to enjoy eating my work!

I was so excited to do this cake. I love, love, love when someone gives me creative liscense. The only requirement given by the customer was blue and brown. I had seen a version of this cake done for a baby girl in pink and brown and wanted to make my own!

Snow Man cake

This was a really fun cake made with a Williams Sonoma pan. I wish I was a better photographer and I would have made sure that you could see the "snow" around the bottom of the plate. I guess if I had not put it on a white plate, I would not have needed to be a better photographer! This cake was white spice cake with a cream cheese icing.

Baby Shower Cake

This was a cake that was for a combined baby shower. It is pound cake filled with lemon curd and iced with buttercream.

Star Wars Cakes

These are two Star Wars cakes that I did. The mother who ordered the one in buttercream wanted a simple cake that she could add action figures too. I think that the lady who ordered the chocolate one had the same idea but her son liked it so much that he wouldn't let her add them!
