My Little Pony.






LOVE this cake!  With the exception of the clouds (which are buttercream,) the entire cake is fondant.  I was so happy with how this turned out.  I met with this customer and we just worked out exactly how she wanted it by putting a couple of ideas together from different cakes.  The cupcakes were adorable - I purchased a new piping tip (the 1M) and that is how I did the swirly design on the cake.  This is my new favorite toy!  I'd make this cake again in a heartbeat!

Super Mario "Toadstool" Cupcakes.



These are Mario "Toadstool" cupcakes made for a 9 year old birthday party.  After trial and error we (Me, My Mom and Sister) had to cover the entire cupcake in fondant to give it the right effect and to let the base be white enough.  They turned out good, but were a lot harder than I would've expected!

Pink and Brown Polka Dots.



This is a buttercream two-tiered cake with fondant circles - the smaller of the two being a smash cake.  Cute for any little girl's birthday!

Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes.







I made these for a preschool class, and while I'm sure the parents liked them...they likely hated me too because these are nothing but sugar! Buttercream icing dipped in orange sugar crystals with an Airhead as the vine and a Rainbow Twizzler as the stem! Perfect for Halloween!

Monkey Cupcakes.



Darling cupcakes made for some adorable twins' birthday party!  The faces are made of fondant.  So cute!

Sports Cake.






I made this cake for a one year old birthday party.  The cakes are entirely buttercream, including the different sports balls that are on the sheet cake - which were all piped by hand.  Blogger is not my friend today and keeps rotating my pictures! but the football cake was for the 1 year old to tear into!

Tennis Cupcakes.




These cupcakes were super cute! Unfortunately, my camera has decided to stop taking quality pictures and is somewhat grainy (so, I'm in the market for a camera!)  I made these for an end of the season tennis party for a high school tennis team.  The pink and blue accents are all fondant.  In hind sight I would have done more of the cupcakes with the grass, racquet and pink ball - they ended up being my favorite.
