Cookie Bouquets

I made these guys for Mother's Day. I baked round cookies on lollipop sticks, decorated them with royal icing. I think next time I will use butter cream. The royal icing dried to hard. It makes for good decorating, just not to nice to eat in my opinion. Once the icing was dry I placed them in a flower pot. Inside the flower pot was a piece of floral styrofoam, I just stuck the stick directly into the foam. I put some beans in the pot to give it weight so they wouldn't tip over. To finish it off I put the green crumpled paper on top.

One Tier Topsy Turvy Zebra cake

I thought this turned out really cute. The twelve was also made using the chocolate transfer method. The little balls are made from fondant and then the whole cake was airbrushed with pearly stuff to make it shine.

Bobby Jack Monkey

The Bobby Jack Monkey is made using the chocolate transfer method. I love using that method because you can make just about anything you want. Here is a great link that shows a tutorial on how to do the chocolate transfer method, it is fun and easy. Sadie was made using fondant cutout called Tappits, love these guys! The colored sprinkles on this cake were a complete accident. I had a bowl of them sitting next to the cake and I knocked the bowl so the sprinkles flew all over the kitchen, and on the cake. But I thought they added a nice touch.

Ladybugs and Bow

Ugh! This picture came out awful! But the cake looked cute in person. The little black and red dots are ladybugs made out of fondant. I made each one by hand. And the the loopy bow on top.

Four prong bow for baby shower

This is a cake I did for a baby shower. The cake is iced in butter cream icing. The bow is made from fondant. I put it through my pasta machine, which I love. It gets the fondant so thin that the finished bow looks more like real fabric. I used a textured rolling pin to give the fondant texture. This is the first one of these that I made. I really like it. The cake board is also covered in the textured fondant.

Whimsical cake

I was asked to make a fun birthday cake. This is what I came up with. I had so much fun with this cake. I love the colors and the whimsical look. The two tiers were carved by my husband (because I can't carve!) to have a tappered look.

Wedding Cake

This is a 3 tier butter cream wedding cake. The top tier is a 6" round, middle is an 8" square and the bottom is a 14" round. I made 300 royal icing flowers for the cake I ended up using about 100, so I have a ton left over. Each tier is wrapped with satin ribbon.

Mini Cakes

These are mini cakes I made for a friends baby shower. I made a large sheet cake, filled it, froze it, then cut them up into 2x2 slices. I covered them in poured fondant that I made (if I can remember the recipe I used, I will post it).

They aren't perfect, you can really see through the icing. They were my first ones. I'll have to practice some more.

I cut out some little fondant daisy flowers and placed them on top.

Makeup cake

The top tier of this cake is supposed to be a makeup bag. I think if I were to do another one of these I would not use dots. It looks kind of like it has the chicken pox. The makeup was made using molds and chocolate.

Elmo Slice Cake

I did this cake for my niece Sammie. She wanted an Elmo cake. So I decided to make a "slice" cake. It was my first one. As you can see the slice of cake is a little tilted.
