Choo Choo!!!

A train cake for my nephews first birthday. (I have a secret to share - I love making cakes for little boys)
My sister-in-law always knows what kind of cake she wants me to do for her, it's fun to create them for her.
I covered this one in fondant, I wanted it to look really nice, plus
the cake was lemon and flavoring fondant with lemon is
very delicious, so this seemed like the perfect cake for it.
I could use more practice doing that, it's just a good thing there is a back.

Here is Owen with his little smash cake - completely sugar free

Bridal shower cake

This one is inspired by some napkins I saw online


I didn't give myself enough time to get this done, so I felt a little rushed. It didn't turn out how I envisioned it, but cute enough.

Baby Shower cake

This cake was modeled after the nursery. I had a lot of fun doing this. I'm usually just a copy cat, so it's fun when I create a cake design and it actually turns out cute. I did the top first and just loved how it came out.



Done with browns and pinks. All the decoration is fondant. Bottom is a 3 layer, 8" round. The top is a 3 layer, 6" round. The layers are frosted with buttercream(the top having a little raspberry flavor added). Both layers are chocolate cake with chocolate frosting in the middle

For my Dad

I had this really fun idea for my dad this year. I wanted to do stick figures of all his grandkids. I sketched them out and they were pretty cute. But when it came time to  draw them on the cake, it was just too hard. Literally, the black, store bought icing was too hard on my hands. With a lot more planning, I could have made it work. But there wasn't enough time. So this is what I found in a short time.

I'm always dissapointed when a cake doesn't turn out how I want it to, but I was glad I was able to find something. Plus, it was a very delicious banana cake froms scratch with cream cheese frosting.

Fill in the blank

This cake was a Justin Beiber cake. But with out the Beiber, it can be any cake you want. So put your childhood crush in the place in front of the stars, if you want  (wink)
A fun cake to make and not too difficult. I like those ones, especially when I have a lot of other things going on. I met this little girl and was glad to make her a cake. I did her little brothers cake before this one(the batman cake) Super cute kids!

Batman Cake!

This one was fun, it was simple and turned out cute. I say simple, but cutting the bats out was time consuming. But they turned out nice, so that makes it a simple cake if there were no mishaps


It's a 3 layer 8" round cake (lemon) with blue buttercream. The decorative parts are fondant.

Penguin Polar bear pair


This was for my sister-in-laws sweet little 3 year old niece. She had this idea of a penguin cake with a polar bear candle. She has these two buddies that she loves, one is a penguin the other a polar bear. I was so happy to give her the cake she wanted. I molded the bear out of fondant, then cut a candle to fit. The cake is a 10" round 3 layer white cake with chocolate buttercream in between. Blue buttercream and fondant snowflakes and penguin. Fun and fairly simple.
