WWE Birthday

This cake required a little research on my part, but I think it turned out great. I painted the WWE logo in the center and cut the "Raw" and "SmackDown" logos out of fondant. The ring posts are marshmallows painted with food coloring, and the ropes are spaghetti noodles painted with food coloring also.

Ladybugs & More Ladybugs!

I made this cake for my niece Emily - this cake survived a 6 hour drive to South Carolina. The long drive didn't seem to affect the cake as much as the rest of the passengers :)

Happy Birthday Hello Kitty Style!

Who can resist Hello Kitty - she is too cute! This was for sweet Savannah who was turning 2

Happy Birthday Connor!

Transformer's Bumblebee for a sweet 4 year old boy. I cut all the pieces for his face from fondant, and the lesson I learned is that it is super hard to get a face symmetrical without a template :)

Merry Christmas - the Polar Express

This is the cake I did for my sister who teaches at MIS. They did a unit on The Polar Express, she asked if I would do a cake for the party, and this is my interpretation....

Lego Mania

Happy Birthday Lillian - Part 2

I swayed Lillian towards a ladybug cake for her family birthday party - because they are just too cute. You can never go wrong with pink and green! I have done 3 other ladybug cakes - all in red and black, so I was really excited to do one in pink- I also tried a new face design as well. Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Camera Happy :)

I did this cake for my new Cousin-in-law's(yay!) father for his birthday. She wanted something using a camera. because he is an incredible photographer...so I really wanted to do a 3-D camera - it was a little scary, but turned out pretty good I think - Sarah loved it. The icing was chocolate buttercream, and this was a new recipie - really yummy, & it smelled wonderful! Happy Birthday Lonas!

My niece Lillian loves LazyTown so when she decided she wanted it for birthday theme I searched & found this design to use- & it was a big hit with the Birthday girl :) She will have another cake this week too on her actual birthday...guess who is gonna make it:)

Lady Bug Smash Cake

Ladybugs are reaaly cute and really popular- this was my 3rd one & am sure there will be more to come. I used a different face design for this one and thought it turned out super cute!

Pastor Appreciation

I made this cake for a dear friend's husband for a Pastor Appreciation fellowship at their church. She gave me freedom of design, requesting only fall color scheme. I took this opportunity to give the basket weave some more practice, as well as gumpaste flower making. I totally enjoyed making this cake, thank you for thinking of me Eva and trusting my creativity :)

Happy Birthday Madison!!

This groovy flower cake is actually 6 6inch round cakes surrounding half of the sports ball pan center- iced in buttercream with bright fun colors- Happy Birthday Madison!!!

Happy Halloween!!

Cupcakes make up a not so scary Frankenstein face for a 5th grade class :)
