Garden Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for a preschool fundraiser.  The white cupcakes are topped with chocolate buttercream, and the bugs and flowers are made of fondant.

Confirmation girl

Jacky, the adorable daughter of my friend Wendy, was being confirmed in the Catholic Church today and Wendy asked me to make a cake to help celebrate the special occasion.  The figure is Jacky in her confirmation dress and the cake is made to mimic the dress.  The black flowers were piped and painted with a technique called brush embroidery (my first attempt at this).


The figure is made entirely of fondant.

Bunco!!!

I made this cake for a bunco group - a fun, crazy group of ladies! Each die had a different flavor combination. The first one was vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream filling, the second one was chocolate cake with raspberry filling, and the third one was lemon cake with lemon buttercream filling. The lemon seemed to be the overall favorite. The bunco lady on top is holding a bell, which is used to signify the start of each bunco round (bell-ringer, you know who you are). Thanks to my friend, Kim, who asked me to make the cake and invited me to join in the party.

Playful Kitty

This was just for practice. I've been wanting to make a cake like this for awhile and I just got the new little tool that helped me with the yarn. Since my family is up to their eyeballs in cake (not that they're complaining), I gave this to two sweet girls that are friends of my boys.

Retro Circles

I made this cake for a 19 year-old young lady's "black and white" birthday party. I was so excited that she chose the retro circles because I've been dying to make a cake like this for awhile. The cake was a white cake, filled with three layers of raspberry buttercream. Thanks to my friend, DeAnna, for taking the pic when my camera was feeling finicky.

Animal fun!

I made this for a 13-year old girl who loves zebra prints. The cake is a white cake, filled with strawberry buttercream and covered with homemade fondant. The stripes, balls and letter N are also made from fondant. This one was a lot of fun to make!

Fun & Bright!

I made this for my friend's daughter's birthday. The general idea was based on a cake on Charm City Cake's website. All of the decoration were done in fondant, except for the bow which was made from gumpaste. I had alot of fun making this!
