Choo Choo!

Buttercream cake with fondant train! (The top picture shows the colors better, but didn't show the writing on the side.)

Butterflies!

This is a two-tiered buttercream cake made with fondant butterflies, flowers etc.  Again, for a one year old so there is a matching "smash cake."

Wedding Cake!

Detail while in progress.

Ta Da!

My very first wedding cake :)  I am so happy to add this to my portfolio - and also to announce that I am now accepting wedding cake orders!  This is a 3-tier square red velvet cake with buttercream icing and a cream cheese filling.  The bow was made by special request from the bride to make the cake look more like Christmas presents since her wedding was a Christmas theme.  It turned out lovely!

Christmas Lights & Mini-Trees.

Christmas lights cupcakes.  Made of cupcakes, icing, graham crackers, pretzels, gumdrops, twizzlers, sprinkles...the list goes on!  Perfect for any Christmas party.

The lighting is bad on this - but these are mini-cupcakes with Christmas trees piped on top.  Powdered sugar for a snowy effect!

AutoBell Cake.

Someone very close to me works for AutoBell Car Wash in the Charlotte area - and I was asked to make a cake for their in-house Christmas party.  (The petit fours below were for them, too.) I asked if I could do a logo cake for them along with their order, and well - I'd say it turned out pretty good!  This was all piped by hand after transferring the logo with piping gel.  Pretty cool!

Detail on the logo.

Christmas Petit Fours.

This was our (me and mom) first attempt at making petit fours.  Boy, was it a lot harder than you would expect!  Making sure to have all 5 surfaces smooth and presentable proved to be difficult with buttercream, but overall they were worth it!   Trying something new and learning the tricks of the trade is what it's all about!

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.

Safari!

These cakes were made for a one year old birthday party. I. Love. These. Cakes. The sheet cake is fondant - everything is edible! and the bottom is a fondant monkey with buttercream icing so it will be messy for the baby to tear into!!

Fall Birthday Cake

Fall Flowers. Basket weave. Can't go wrong! This design could be used for any occasion!

Corset Cake.

My first corset cake! I think it speaks for itself! So cute!

Yankees Baby Cake.

A friend of mine chose not to find out the sex of her baby, and thus her biggest baby shower was held after he was born. The family decided to go with a Yankees theme since that's his Daddy's favorite team and this is what they came up with! So cute! I'm sure all of the Yankees fans loved it! Sox fans probably wouldn't touch the stuff! :)

Raggedy Ann & Andy

Raggedy Ann

and her friend, Andy

These cakes were made for a child's birthday party and they speak for themselves! So cute! Everything is edible. The hair is made of twizzlers pull-n-peel and the flowers on Raggedy Ann's shirt are skittles!

Polka Dots.

This cake is for a bridal shower. (The brides colors are teal and brown). A little twist on the baby shower cake I made with the dots and stripes. This one is not fondant, only buttercream so it's not quite a smooth, but smells absolutely delicious!

This is a simple fondant cake I did for a friends' nephew's Christening. I was particularly pleased with how the flowers turned out on it.
