I created a Monster...

No really!

He's a cute little monster. He's a 3 layer 6" round carrot cake. We are having a Trunk-or-Treat at school and the families who decorate their trunk will have the chance to win one of 3 cakes, this being one of them :)

Halloween Birthday Cake

Halloween Birthday cake
I made this cake for Teresa's friends birthday party. It was a super intense cake with a lot of stuff on it. But really fun! And I broke it up so I wasn't doing it all in one day. (plus a super fun costume party - Teresa was mother nature and I was a scarecrow - check the family blog after halloween for a pic)


It's a 3 tiered cake, with a 2 layer 10" Devil's food round, with chocolate frosting in the middle and buttercream on the outside. The middle layer is a 2 layer 8" round, and the Jack on top was made using a small pyrex bowl.
This is the back

Close-up of the spider and pumpkins. I had originally planned to do 7 spiders in different parts of the cake, but after making 1, I decided 2 would be enough. They were pretty tedious to make. But cute!

And the Jack-o-lantern with a spider on top. This is covered in fondant.

Wizards of Waverly Place

This cake was for a friends daughter who wanted a Wizards of Waverly Place party(it's a Disney show). Only trouble is, the show doesn't really have any 1 item that represents it. So the end result was Merlin's hat(used in one episode - that I watched, btw) and Alex's wand, with spells from the show piped on the side.


It's a 3 layer white cake, with a little surprise orange frosting in the middle. I wanted to marble the inside with some orange, but for one, I forgot :P and I wasn't sure what color it would be after I cooked it. I'll have to experiment on a different cake. The hat is a sugar cone wrapped in fondant and the wand is just fondant with a yellow fondant star and yellow sugar sprinkles to give it a magical look ;)

This ones for you

A 4 layer cake alternating chocolate fudge and marble chocolate chip, with chocolate buttercream in between the layers covered in white buttercream. YUMMY!


I made this just because, so we get to eat this one :)





(It was yummy - or "lummy" as Nathan put it)

First Birthday Cake

I did this cake for Bennett's first birthday. The design was by Cindy, his mom. It's the combination of two ideas.

The middle layer is a 3 layer 8" round with buttercream and fondant stars and ball border.
The bottom is a 10" round cut to look like blocks. I used buttercream as the base and the colors are MM fondant.
The top is a jumbo cupcake, with fondant wrapped around it and buttercream on top.
