My Baby Shower Cake!

Yes, I made my own baby shower cake and I am so glad I did. Not only is it exactly what I wanted but the figures I made will go on a shelf in the baby's room! I made the figures out of fondant with gum text in it and it took me 14 hours just to make the figures. We love the Tiny Titans and that is what his nursery is decorated in. Aw Yeah!

Supergirl, Batgirl and a baby with a hat that has bat ears on it!

Happy Easter!



Happy Easter everyone! I know it has been awhile since I posted any new cakes but as most of you know, I am pregnant! It is really funny that one of the things that absolutely turns my stomach now is the smell of butter cream icing so I haven't been making many cakes. For this cake I copied a cake from the wilton books however I covered it with stars instead of fondant to make the chick look fuzzy :) This is one of the few I will be making in the upcoming months including 2 baby shower cakes. Hope you all have a happy Easter!

Tyler's Monkey Birthday Cake!


Happy Birthday Tyler! My cousin's son Tyler turned one and she asked for a monkey cake with the colors green & blue and said I can do what I want. I love it when I can just have fun with the cake design and I think this one turned out great!


I made all the monkeys, the number 1 and Tyler's name out of fondant with Gumtext in it. I decided to show close-ups of the monkeys because they turned out so cute!


This is the monkey on the side of the cake reaching for the number one. I love it when kids stick out their tongue when they are really reaching for something so that is what this monkey is doing. Sorry the picture is a little blurry.


This monkey is eating a tiny banana!


This is Tyler's smasher cake. I used the mini bear pan and cut off the ears then attached them a little lower with icing. I also had to shave off the bear's tummy and legs to make it look more like a monkey. The face, legs and tail are all icing!

Tinkerbell Cake!


I am so excited I finally got an order for a Tinkerbell cake! I love Tink and am pretty happy with the way she turned out.


This is the sweet little Tinkerbell cake in full view.

Cake-A-Mania!!!


This is the end of the year cake for Chikara wrestling! I made this cake for the season nine finale in Reading. Everyone enjoyed the bottom layer, the red velvet cake, the most. Even in cake form, no one likes the BDK! The symbol in the middle of the ring is the symbol for Chikara Pro.


The design on this cake matches the design on Eddie Kingston's shirt. Happy Birthday King :)

Engagement Cake



This cute, little engagement cake has chocolate as the bottom layer, vanilla as the top layer, dark chocolate icing filing and is covered with buttercream and fondant. The calla lilies were left over from the cake last week. I love being able to reuse things! I think it turned out cute.

Cocoa & Kiwi Wedding Cake



Congratulations Audra & Ryan! Audra had a cocoa & kiwi color scheme for her wedding. She wanted a very simple chocolate cake. I had trouble getting the fondant the right shade of green so I ended up using a real ribbon. I am so happy with the way it turned out!



A close up of my calla lilies. They are my mom's favorite :)

Cakes for Kids!



Today I had a kids cake class at Micheal's. I think all the girls cakes turned out really well. Jessica made a cake for her Aunt Patty's birthday. Ally made a soccer cake for a party tonight. She is on the a team called the Stoners and they kick butt! My cake is all about liking cake. Elena (she's shy) made a cake for her brother. Blue is his favorite color and she put lots of fun designs on it. Great job girls, your cakes look awesome!

Damask Wedding Cake



Congratulations Amber & Chris! Amber had a Damask theme for the wedding. Using stencils I painted the damask designs onto small diamonds of fondant. Amber used fake flowers for the wedding party's bouquets and had a few left over to use on the cake. The cake ended up turning out pretty nice.

Love the Arts Cake


This is the cake I made for my music teacher, Phil Mancini's, summer picnic. The name of the school is "Love The Arts!" so I really wanted to make that POP on the cake. So I decided to make it POP out of the cake in a celebration!


I hand painted the sheet music to the song, "Music Hour". I thought it was appropriate since the song is all about practicing your music lessons. Unfortunately I ran out of room to write the lyrics in the sheet music.


A close up of the roses, they always look so pretty on a piano. I am so proud of this cake because it was my own design and it turned out better than I expected!

Tammy and Jeff's Wedding Cake


Congratulations Tammy & Jeff! This is the finished cake after the florist added the fresh flowers. I think the florist did a nice job with the placement.


Here is the cake before the fresh flowers were added. The cake had three tiers of red velvet and two tiers of white cake all covered in butter cream icing then fondant. Next, I covered the cake in piping gel and sprinkled each tier with sparkling sugar for a very soft and elegant look.

Demo cake for Michael's



I made this cake for a demo at Michael's. I think it turned out cute, it was Joe's idea to do all stars and one moon.



This is a vanilla cake with fudge filling, butter cream icing and fondant on top. The decorations are fondant on-lays (where the stars are stacked) and fondant in-lays (where each star is nested in the next).
