Airplane Cake







My husband is a pilot, so decoration for his birthday cake was an easy decision. This is one of his favorite kind of cakes; chocolate cake with butter cream filling and vanilla cream cheese frosting. The planes were made out of chocolate. The only problem, he didn't want to share the left over cake!

Retirement Cake


This cake was for my husbands boss retirement party. It is a 1/2 sheet red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and chocolate decorations.

4th of July Cake


We were invited to a 4th of July party and that was a great opportunity for me to practice my fondant skills. This is a simple three tiered cake with different styles of fondant work.

Baby Luau Cake


I love doing First Birthday Cakes! I feel that it's such an honor to have one of my cakes as the baby's first cake. This cake was for a Baby's First Luau Birthday. The three tiered, multi color butter cream cake looked perfect at the beach side luau. The fondant trees and surfboards were a big hit with the older kids.

Bridal Lingerie Shower Cake





I was asked to do a lingerie shower cake for a bride-to-be. I used a 1/4 sheet cake and two 1/2 round cakes to shape the bodice. I covered the cake with my homemade fondant and personalized the cake with a little heart shaped tattoo with the bride and groom's initials. The bride was surprised and thrilled with the cake.

Witches Hat


This was a fun cake I made for a Ladies Night Out Bunco party. The theme for the October Bunco party was "Crazy Hats". I used half an 8" round cake, a cone cake and a waffle cone for the shape of the hat. I made a delicious chocolate ganache for the frosting and added fondant accent pieces. It was a fun Bunco party!

Oktoberfest Cake




I made this cake for my husbands annual Oktoberfest Party. I started by stacking six 8" chocolate cakes. I used my homemade fondant to cover them and shape the barrel. I used sugar to make the ice, and my husband made several personal labels to put on empty beer bottles. People kept on touching it, not realizing that it was a cake. It was a big hit at the party!
