Flower Cupcakes



I made these cupcakes for my daughter to take to preschool for her birthday. They are chocolate and yellow cake with butter cream swirled on the top. They have flowers and leaves made from home made marshmallow fondant. The kids ate the flowers and the leaves off the top of them and licked the frosting off lol.

Monster Cupcakes



I made these for my son to take to school for his birthday. They are chocolate and yellow cupcakes decorated with butter cream frosting to look like monsters! They were a hit.

Ballerina Bear Baby Shower Cake



This cake is 3 - 8 in square cakes each one a different flavor (chocolate, yellow and french vanilla) all are covered in handmade marshmallow fondant and decorated to look like presents. I then made a bear shaped cake and decorated it to look like a ballerina ... the bear was made from a mix of pound cake and yellow cake and covered in chocolate butter cream and butter cream. It was then all stacked together. It was for a baby shower and everybody loved it.

Caillou and Drew Photo Cake


This cake was for my little Drewbles. He LOVES caillou so we made an edible image with Caillou and pictures of Drew on it! My 3 year old thought Drew needed LOTS of colors which explains all the pretty colors on the cake and the drooping front from her helping lol.

Offroading Cake




This is a yellow cake with strawberry filling covered in butter cream and the "mud" is chocolate pudding and crushed cookies. This cake was a lot of fun to make. The back mountain is carved cake, the trees are cones covered in butter cream, the river is piping gel tinted blue, the trucks are toys and there are some candy rocks. The lady who ordered it wanted it to be muddy and messy and I think I managed both of those!

Mummy Cake


I made this cake back in October for a little get together I had at my house. He is a cute little mummy done in chocolate with chocolate butter cream, his wrappings are done with fondant. The little worms are gummy worms.

AF Raven Cake



My husband asked me to make this cake for his work squadron party. It is a half sheet and half of it is chocolate with chocolate filling and the other half is yellow with butter cream filling. The whole thing is decorated with butter cream. The picture on top is their squadron emblem and I have to tell you it was a pain to create. I have zero drawing or painting skills so it was not my favorite thing to do. Everybody at the party loved it ... personally I thought it looked like the poor Raven fell out of the sky and hit every branch on the ugly tree. Oh well it is a learning process and a challenge is always good.
