Peacock Cake


This cake is one of my favorites. It is also gluten and soy free! The peacock was a Christmas ornament and because it's such a beautifully flamboyant piece the cake itself was kept to a minimum.

Wedding Cake


This simple and elegant cake was a collaboration between myself and the florist. The orchids are real and were gorgeous on this cake, with it's shimmery ribbon and pearl decorations.

The cowboy is 2!

Traditional


While big, smooth and modern is all that and then some I often prefer a large, creamy, no frills cake.. This year my hubby and his nephew/godson celebrated their September bdays together. Funfetti and 2 candles for Joey, 28 for Matt!



Margarita!! Margarita!!

On the same night as my mother-in-law's wedding another cake of mine partied only 2 doors down at a surprise 50th bday party! That was one crazy busy cake week!

VROOM!!! Surprise!

My hubby and I made this cake as a surprise for my step-father-in-law, it is modelled after his hot rod, as a grooms cake. He was pleasantly surprised and it was great fun!




A Happy Occasion

This summer my mother in law wed again, to a wonderful man who has suffered a similar heartache, we're so happy they found each other!

Mother-in-Law's Bday


This was for my mother-in-law's bday. My step-sister-in-law helped me with it, she wanted to try fondant. I really like it. Such a happy looking cake!

BOOM! Engaged!
















For a fun Superhero Engagement party!











The 102 Degree F Wedding!


For my husband's cousin's wedding I made a 3 layer cake, 16 matching sheet cakes and 40 Cupcakes! It turned out to be a 102 Degree day, the venue's kitchen was the size of a half bathroom, had no A/C and the caterers had to also cook in it. But by the grace of wedding magic, the cake held up and it was a great late afternoon wedding.






My first wedding cake



This was a simple wedding cake I made for a friend over the summer. It was my first, it went off without a hitch and it was wonderful to have someone trust me with such a big part of their day. It was also GLUTEN - FREE! The bride has Celiac's Disease.

Tinkerbell

When a friend's baby girl turned one she requested a Tinkerbell cake... in the "Tinkerbell Green". I covered the cake with marshmallow fondant so the kids may actually enjoy it also. In the back is the traditional "smash cake", covered in buttercream...

Easter Basket Cake 2




This year it was fun to take a whole year's experience and do another basket cake for our family Easter celebration... I loved the colors on this cake. I'm thinking I'll keep up the tradition in years to come.

40th Anniversary

This anniversary cake employs the same "brush embroidery" technique as the Mother's Day cake (2009). The slight sparkle comes from an edible silver dust that was brushed on. It was maroon and ivory to match the party colors.

It's a picnic for Pooh...

Pooh was the party theme for another one year old buddy of mine.. The characters are the birthday boy's actual toys, the picnic blanket, "cake", presents and flowers are all fondant.

Vino Celebration


For a wine lover's birthday...

A Vegas 21st!

This fun cake was for a fun girl who was going to turn 21 in Vegas! It got to ride on the plane there and even got strapped into it's own seat. :)
