Princess Britney

Princess Britney needed a cake made especially for her.  This is what I came up with!  There's a 9" tier and a 5" tier, all made with white cake and vanilla buttercream.  This was a REALLY fun cake to make... from the stone impressions to the sparkly pink lustre dust that was brushed over the whole thing.  So girly!  One good thing about our move to Utah- I won't have to battle the heat when delivering a cake.  This one practically melted and lost 4 of the 8 turrets in the car.  Luckily I had all my supplies to fix it.  Still sad though! 

Brian's Transformer Cake

I can't take much credit for this cake.  My sous chef, Brandon did all the work on the Transformer logo.  It is a 9x13 chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream filling.  See the sad spot on the lower right?  That, my friends, is what happens when water touches fondant.  It slowly eats away the sugar.  This cake got dripped on in the freezer and I wasn't aware of it until too late.  I learned the next day that my freezer wasn't freezing anymore... thus, the dripping.  Overall, a simple, fun cake for a little boy named Brian. 

Sweet 17!

This was for a girl who missed out on her Sweet 16 party because her family moved. Her nice mom was so excited to give her a great surprise party and asked me to make this adorable cake. Another favorite of mine!

Engagement Dinner Cake

This cake is made with a 12" square and a 10" square white cake, filled with raspberry. It turned out pretty cute, if you ask me. I was pretty sure the cake was going to melt when I took it outside to take a picture of it. 113 degrees today... it was a good day to stay inside and work on cake.

So Fancy!

I love pink and black and white and was so excited to try another shoe. I always like to try and improve on my last attempt. I made this cake for a 14 year old's birthday. Her mom said she loves shoes and the color pink. I've been wanting to try zebra stripes, so this was the perfect opportunity. This is an 8" butter cake with strawberries and whipped cream filling.

Happy Father's Day

So glad I got to do a Father's Day cake! My client wanted a cake that represented her husband and each of her kids. She's due to have their first girl any day and included her as well. The golf ball is for the hubby, the Dinoco car and Mickey are for her two boys, and the Tiara is for soon to be sister!
It was my first experience with a golf ball... and it took longer than I expected. It was also my first experience with a Mickey Mouse... one I hope to never have to repeat. Making Mickey look like Mickey is HARD!

Rainbows & Butterflies

I have another little buddy named Brady who turned FIVE today. Brady has slightly more sophisticated tastes and prefers rainbows and butterflies to cartoons. This cake was one that I've looked forward to making for a long time. My cake buddy Trish makes a beautiful rainbow cake, and when she wasn't available to make one for Brady's mom, who is a mutual friend, I was thrilled to have the chance.
This cake was TALL. I'm guessing somewhere along the lines of 9". It is frosted in vanilla buttercream.
I LOVE color. If you know me well, you know that I have a difficult time not painting every room in my house a different color. Yes, a bright green almost adorned my large two-story entry. Anywho, Brady loves color too. The cake had to be the full spectrum rainbow- ROYGBIV. Putting the butterflies on this cake was the highlight of my day. Just Beautiful!
