Denim & Diamonds Sweet 16

Happy Sunday!

My good friend, Shelly asked me to create a cake for her neice's 16th Birthday... She loves horses, browns and greens. Now, I don't know if any of you have looked at Sweet Sixteen stuff, but it's all Pink and Black... But you know my standard answer.... "YES, I can do that!" So the party theme is Denim and Diamonds.... I sat down a couple of Sundays ago and started sketching designs. I DON'T DRAW!!!!

So the creating began.... It was a Funfetti cake with "Twinkie" filling... Yum! Buttercream crumbcoat, denim colored fondant and gumpaste creations. We searched for the cake topper... to order a really "Bling" 16... was super expensive... so while I was in a great cake shop... I found candy molds! So I bought white chocolate and the toppers were created! Everything on the cake is EDIBLE! That is always my goal!
Please take a peak and let me know what you think!

Thanks so much for the support and Keep the cake orders coming!! :D

Feathers and Polka Dots

Good Morning! I was talking to a friend the other night and she mentioned she hadn't ordered her daughter's birthday cake and she needed to call her local store.... WHAT???? Are you kidding me? Don't I make cakes? Wouldn't you want a great looking cake and a great tasting cake.... Hello!!!! I can do it!

So I started creating.... Chocolate cake with Twinkie like filling..... Take a look... I had fun making this cake!

Thank you for the support and KEEP THE CAKE ORDER'S COMING....

Barnyard Baby Shower Cake

So... I was asked if I could do a Barnyard Baby Shower cake... by now you all know that my answer is "Sure, I can do that!". My client asked if she should purchase the Fisher Price farm animals.... NO! I can make those out of gumpaste.... Wow, did I have fun!

Please take a look! This was my first square cake.... and it had it's challenges... But how does the mantra go.... What doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger! This is soo true as I actually through a temper tantrum like a 2 year old in the kitchen in front of my 17 year old son... :) Yes! I had a melt down!!! But I think it turned out great!

It is a white cake with chocolate mousse filling and buttercream icing! The animals on the cake are all made of out gumpaste! So much fun! I love working/creating with gumpaste! So far, I thinks it's my favorite medium! :)

Witch's Cauldron

Soooooo.... I went to Klamath Falls, OR this past weekend to spend some time with my Best Friend. After a 9 hour drive south... I finally arrived! Yeah! I drove in Rain, Sleet, Snow, Sun, etc... Ugggh!

It was fabulous meeting Beccy's Family! Especially her Mom! Alice LOVES Halloween! She loves Witch's.... but nothing scary! Cool! I took my cake stuff with me, as I planned on making a Jack-O-Lantern cake.... Beccy was telling her Mom about it and that she was going to have to come over and see the finished cake... Her Mom... Loving witch's, told me that if it didn't involve witch's she wasn't interested... She was totally kidding! Well, that just inspired me to seek a new challenge....

Sooooo, the research begin.... Please see the photo's below... I had so much fun making this cake.... It is Chocolate Cake with a "Twinkie - Ding Dong" filling.... It turned out DELICIOUS!!!!

Thank you for looking and please keep the cake orders coming....
