Aloha!


This is my favorite cake so far. I was asked to make a cake for a Hawaiian themed birthday party. This is one of the ideas that I came up with that the birthday girl liked. It is Devil's Food cake with buttercream frosting. The Hibiscus flowers, Palm Tree leaves and the waves are marshmellow fondant. The tree trunks are pretzel rods and the Hula Girl and Boy are Polly Pockets that the mom provided me with. This cake serves from 30 to 35 people. The birthday girl really liked it and I am very proud to say that I made this cake!

Slice of cake 2







I had a last-minute request to make a cake for a lady's birthday. She wanted a cake similar to the "Slice of Cake" picture with similar colors. I didn't want to make it exactly the same, so I added the flowers rather than frogs and I like the way it turned out. This one is silver-white cake with strawberry filling and buttercream frosting with fudge accents.

lots and lots of chocolate


I made this cake for a friend that LOVES chocolate while I was in the states. It is devil's food cake baked in an 8" round pan with chocolate mousse filling in the shape of heart (inside) and chocolate ganache for the frosting. The roses are made from royal icing and the of course, chocolate covered strawberries.
