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!

Ka Chow!

This cake was so fun! It is a 1/2 sheet cake with a Lightning McQueen charachter cake on top. It is a pound cake covered in buttercream. The dirt road is crushed graham crackers. I was so excited to make this cake for one of my best friends from high school that I reconnected with over Facebook!

Jacob is 1!

My sweet little cute nephew turned 1! I made this cake for him and he got his own cupcake. His mother is very protective of him getting too much sugar, like we all are with our first so no big smash cake for him! Turns out, he could have cared less about that cake anyway. My brother had to take the icing and put it on his lip and he was still not impressed! He must have been just over tired because no one in our family ever turns down sweets!

This was a double layer 10" round on the bottom and three 8" rounds on top. They were filled with lemon curd and iced in lemon buttercream with cream cheese fondant accents. This could also be a baby shower cake.

I love Autumn!

I really do love Autumn! There is just something about the cool weather with the leaves changing that just makes me want to stay inside and bake! I have done a fall cake for the past couple of years. The chocolate cake here was for my friend's birthday last year. It was her 39th. I did not make her a cake this year (her birthday week turned out to be a week where I had several other cake orders) but in retrospect, maybe it is better to have a bigger celebration for 39! The other Autumn cake I did was for the birthdays at my kid's school. It was for September, October and November birthdays and you just can't fit that on a cake and it still be pretty! I drew the leaves and acorns free hand and filled them in.
