Joint Bride & Groom Shower

I was really excited to do these cakes...and very relieved when the customer came to pick them up!! At first when I was asked to do these cakes, I was a little intimidated because they were to be done at the same time and that was the first time that I had to do (2) cakes in one order! So, HUGE thanks to my wonderful hubby that helped me out TREMENDOUSLY by listening to every idea that I came up with, going shopping with me for ribbon (that was a little stressful! but that's a whole 'nother story!! LOL) and most of all, helping me to assemble and deliver these cakes!! What would I do without him?...as Forest Gump says: "We're like peas and carrots..."

Hummingbird frozen butter cream transfer

Sorry for the picture quality! I gotta get a better camera!! This cake was pretty easy to do, despite having to do that blasted frozen buttercream transfer THREE times before it FINALLY worked!! It was my first time trying this technique out, so I think I did a pretty decent job considering! As for the rest of the cake, very easy and simple to do...I hope the bday girl likes it!!

Swamp Gator

This was my first attempt at carving a 3-D cake...and can I tell you how FUN it was?! I had the privilege of taking a class with Sharon Zambito and Dena Bryngelson; they are FANTASTIC teachers and a HOOT to be around!! This was my completed swamp scene - my favorite part was the tree stump!! All edible, except for the sticks in the cattails and the gator's mouth was cardboard....

This was part of the process of carving and assembling the gator and the rest of the scene:

Stars and Sprinkles

I just LOVE airbrushing!! This cake was so EASY to do - for a 5 year old who loves anything to do with outerspace, so his mom requested stars....

My First Purse Cake

My first Purse Cake!! And my second attempt at airbrushing! I was really satisfied with the outcome...the purse is covered with fondant and I placed fondant strips on the sides of the cake...the roses are fondant (my first time at that too!!) :o) I baked a WASC for the sheet cake and I baked a version of pound cake for the purse....

Happy Birthday ME

Yep! That's right - I had to make my OWN bday cake!! And BOY was it YUMMY!! Dark Chocolate with Red Raspberry filling...YAY!! The musical notes were made from a stencil.

Happy Birthday Myla

All buttercream with buttercream flower stencils. This was for my best friend from high school; we just recently reconnected on Facebook - all these years apart and we didn't even know that we both still lived in our hometown...go figure!
