50th Birthday Cake with Fresh Red Roses




My husband made these beautiful cutting boards.



I helped my friend give her step-mother a wine and cheese 50th birthday party.  I made the cake, the nuts, and helped with flower arranging and set-up. 

My husband, Joshua, made the beautiful cutting boards that the cheese is displayed on.  He is really talented.  Check out his blog  woodworksbyjoshua.blogspot.com .

The cake is white velvet (my new favorite) with fresh strawberry filling and citrus buttercream.  There are beautiful red roses arranged on top with thin sparkle candles.  The nuts are Union Station Bar Nuts deliciously made with brown sugar and rosemary.  There were fruit skewers, 3 types of cheese and crackers, hummus with pita chips, Bruschetta with Panetini, chocolate covered cherries, and of course...wine.  It was a beautiful party and everyone had a great time.

Petit Fours and Red Rose Cake


The red rose cake is made with white velvet cake, and buttercream.  The petit fours are white cake and poured almond icing.

This is a half-sheet cake with decorations cut with my Cricut Cake machine.  The sides are airbrushed black, with black fondant stars on top.  

Alligator Cake

 
I love this cake.  It was for a little boy turning three who loves alligators.  I made the gators out of fondant, as well as the leaves and lilly pads.  It is marble cake with buttercream icing. 

Snowflake Sheet Cake

Here's a simple sheet cake I did for a lady I work with.  I decided to use my Cricut and cut out snowflakes since we've had so much snow lately.  It is white cake with vanilla buttercream icing.

Pregnant Belly Cake

I loved making this one.  It is covered in fondant and decorated with chocolate fondant.  It's great for your baby shower, or it could be done a little differently for a bachelor party!

Skateboard Cake

This was a fun cake to make.  The cake was carved to look like a skateboard, and the wheels were made from waffer cookies and donuts.  I airbrushed stars and it looks like the skateboard is upside down.  I think this cake was white inside with buttercream icing.

Blue Zebra Stripes Cake with Fondant Bow

This cake was for an 11-year old girl.  She wanted zebra stripes and blue.  I added the bow for the topper.  Had a slight accident with the bow and a piece of it broke off of the bottom, but not too bad.  The tiers are 9" and 6" and feeds 35.  The cake is white and has buttercream icing with fondant accents. 

Bama Football Cake

Ok, had to make a Bama cake.  It was hard, but I managed to suffer through it.  It is a simpler version of the Vols football cake.  This football is a fondant plaque instead of a 3-D football made of rice krispie treats.  The tag is a cut-out helmet. The cake is yellow with buttercream icing.

Twilight Cake


So, I finally got a Twilight order.  The little girl loves Edward, she says he's "hot"!  So I found an edible image instead of trying to draw or put something inedible on it.  I didn't want to take away from the picture, so I just used some simple black piping to frame the picture and wrote on it with white and black buttercream.  The cake inside is chocolate.  Her mom found a great tablecloth and cups with all of the characters on them, so the cake matched perfectly at the party.

Teddy Bear Cake and Petit Fours



This cake was made for my friend's baby shower for her gift.  The bear was baked in a molded cake pan with fondant accents for his face, feet, and bib.  He is made from pound cake and is covered with buttercream piped with a grass tip for hair.  I used food markers to write the name and color the eyes.  Vanilla and chocolate petit fours were made to match.  She loved the bear so much she didn't let anyone eat it at the party!

Wedding Shower Wedding Cake




This is a wedding shower/wedding cake I made last weekend.  The couple were married, and then had a shower/reception later.  It was a cake chosen from the Wilton Tiered Cakes book.  It was altered slightly from the original design.  It was a 3 tier cake in the book, but we made it into a sheet cake with the tiered cake on the side to make it less formal.  The flowers are hand-made from royal icing, and the bells are made from sugar pressed into molds.  The cake was yellow with an orange crumb filling.

Deer Hunter Cake


My customer's son wanted a cake with him in a tree stand. So, here's a cake with a deer hunter sitting in a tree. I later figured out how to do the tree stand, but too late. I'll try it on the next one. He still got what he wanted and was happy. It is white cake with buttercream icing. The tree is chocolate buttercream, and the hunter, border and topper are out of fondant.

Stump Cake


This cake was for a lady's husband who owns a tree service. It was a cake pictured on the Publix website. It had toy chainsaws on it, but I could not find anything like that. Since this was a rushed order, I did not have time to make them out of fondant. The stump is made from a jumbo cupcake turned upside down. It is marble cake with fresh sliced strawberries and buttercream for the filling.
