Rainbows



This was formy daughter's 4th birthday. She wanted rainbows, butterflies, and dragonflies. I made the butterflies and dragonflies out of cookies. The cake is strawberry with buttercream.

Monkey



This was for a one-year-old. It is chocolate andred velvet cake with buttercream frosting. I used the plates from the party for the theme.



Rum


I made this last-minute cake for a friend of mine who loves Malibu Rum. I think it would have turned out better using fondant, but buttercream is what I had on hand. If it was only for adults, I would have incorporated the rum in the frosting.

pink and brown


This cake was for a little girl's pamper party. It was red velvet covered in chocolate ganache. Unfortuantely, it didn't make the trip very well. Byt the time we got there, it cracked and I couldn't fix it in time. She was only charged for supplies. Live and learn.

Black, white, and pink


This cake was made for 2 couples' birthdays. I was contacted and asked for a cake for 4 adults, men and women. It had to be classy since they were having cocktails at a nice restaurant. Well, I sat and pondered the design for a couple of days and had a really hard time. Then she told me that they would have baloons there...black, white, silver, and pink. So, I went with thatcolor scheme. The cake itself is strawberry-lemon with buttercream frosting and chocolate covered strawberries on top. The pink flowers are made from gumpaste. I used chocolate and black foodcoloring for the details and little silver ball candies for some added shine. They loved it!

Super Mario Bros


Super MArio Brothers cake. The top tier is a 6" round covered in buttercream. The bottom tier is a rectangle covered in buttercream and marshmellow fondant. The figures were provided by the mom and the rest is frosting.
