D.A.R.E.





This was another fairly simple design ... I tried to do the lion that is the DARE mascot but it just wasnt working out so I took him out and just added DARE to the center triangle. It is a half sheet with butter cream frosting. I then added on 4 - 8 inch round cakes each with a letter to spell out D.A.R.E. - the second picture shows it on the table ... I think it turned out pretty nice all set out together.

Bowling Cake


This is a half sheet cake ... half of it was chocolate and the other half was yellow. It is double layered with butter cream frosting. Was a very simple design but the kids loved it.

Purse Cake


This cake was alot of fun to make. The purse is chocolate cake covered in fondant to make it look like a little handbag. The bottom cake is white covered in butter cream frosting. The little accessories are all made out of chocolate. I had some issues with the chocolate I bought from the on base store it wouldnt melt so I had to go with all pink and brown for my accessories, but I still think it turned out cute. The little girl who I made it for just LOVED it I got a HUGE hug and she kept saying "I love it".

Donut Birthday Cake


I made these cakes for my daughter's 3rd birthday and my son's 10th birthday. They aren't perfect but since we were eating them shortly after I made them I figured it was okay. My daughter is obsessed with donuts lately even though when you give her a donut she wont eat it - so I decided to go ahead and make a cake look like a donut. I made the smaller donut cake for my son - I made him a batman cake to take to school. They are both yellow cakes the larger one has a chocolate pudding filling.

Batman Birthday Cake


I made this cake for my son's 10th birthday. I had some serious frosting issues and the grey should have been lighter but all in all I think it turned out okay. I took it to his classroom and they all loved it. It is a chocolate with buttercream filling on the bottom and yellow with chocolate filling on the top.

Dr Seuss's Birthday Part Two


This is the second cake I made for Read Across America at the local schools it is exactly like the first cake except I made it on a quarter sheet. We had been on vacation and got home the night before both cakes were due at the school so I was up until 2am finishing up the cakes by the time I started on this one my imagination was to tired to do something different. I still think they both turned out great!
